Nintendo GameCube

Operating Systems (IBM PowerPC 750CXe Gekko)

Bricks-OS

a microkernel based network distributed operating system

The NGC/Wii port seems to be the most barebones port of them all.

Console emulation (potential)

Whether these emulators support operating systems for these consoles is unknown; it must be looked into further. Consoles without meaningful OSes are not included.

GC-Linux (hub)

This is GNU/Linux on the Nintendo GameCube

The general hub for everything Linux on GameCube, with many options available for install. Most of the below is likely available in the Sourceforge.

GCOS “BIOS”

full features that a modchip would provide, without the need for one

A sort of hybrid between a loader app and operating system/BIOS. Could do some tweaks.

Gentoo

Yet another variant of the GC-Linux works, with at least some info and instruction.

MPlayer Front End distro

Apparently a distro just to get Mplayer running on the GameCube?

PC emulation (potential)

Whether these emulators support operating systems for these computers is unknown; it must be looked into further. PCs without meaningful OSes are not included.

CHIP-8 – CHIP-8 emulator

Stock BIOS

Swiss

Swiss aims to be an all-in-one homebrew utility for the Nintendo GameCube.

The best and most modern GameCube homebrew browser/utility/EOP thing. It can browse many devices, and it’s still being updated in the modern day. Appears to supersede GCOS in some ways.

Internet

Lost PlanetWeb planned browser

were porting or already ported the EGBrowser from the PlayStation 2 to the GameCube

Only has some traces on demo disks, but it was clearly an idea at some point. Leaked builds maybe?

Phantasy Star Online DNS “redirect”

I actually modified the configuration files within the disc to achieve this

Same stuff as the PS2 demo disc and Switch web browser method, just even more outdated.
