Gekko jest emulatorem GameCuba, którego swój byt rozpoczął w okolicach 2007 roku, a jego deweloperzy wybrali tradycyjną drogę rozwoju, bez upubliczniana źródła. Efekty? Prawdopodobnie, wersja 0.3, pierwsza publiczna wersja, jest tą samą, która pojawiła się dla betatesterów prawie rok temu. Jednak idzie ku lepszemu kod gekko został upubliczniony i być może za jakiś czas dogoni w rozwoju Dolphina.
