Dolphin (emulator)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dolphin is a Nintendo GameCube emulator for Windows.

Dolphin was the first Gamecube emulator to successfully run commercial games. It can run quite a few, albeit very slowly, on a standard PC with a modern graphics card (needs support for Pixel Shader 2.0 functionality) but the emulation is far from perfect. Sound emulation is basically non-exsistent, and only a place holder plugin comes with Dolphin for the time being. Dolphin's team promises better performance (that means better than six frames per second) in the near future. Dolphin is now able to use mouse/keyboard and joypad/joystick.

The latest release is Dolphin Final 1.03 BETA. Dolphin Final 1.03 BETA is the final release. The coders (F|RES, ector, schibo, and Yaz0r) are no longer producing releases. The last official (non-beta) release was Dolphin v1.02.
