The git repository moved to GitHub!

The issue tracker is still at GoogleCode. Our official homepage also can still be found at http://dolphin-emu.org/ .

Dolphin

Originally developed by F|RES & ector. Now open source under GPL v2 with lots of contributors.

Overview

Dolphin is a Gamecube, Wii and Triforce (the arcade machine based on the Gamecube) emulator which supports many extra features and abilities not present on the original consoles. Gamecube and Wii compatibility is good - one can expect "mainstream" titles to run; lesser known titles can be hit or miss. Triforce compatibility is currently limited to a couple of games - others require more of the Triforce-specific peripheral devices to be emulated. Check (and update!) the Compatibility Wiki for more specific information.

Features

Supports DOL/ELF, Gamecube + Wii disc images / physical backup discs, Wii system menu / channels, WBFS images, and WADs.
Debuggers for PowerPC, DSP, and graphics processors

Interpreters and recompilers for each processor
OpenGL 3 and Direct3D 11 renderers with graphical enhancements, and a software renderer for debugging

Action Replay simulator and Gecko Code interpreter
Gamecube Memory Card Manager
Real and emulated Wiimote support
Gamepad support (including Xbox 360 pad)
Experimental NetPlay
Save states

System Requirements

Windows Vista or higher, or Linux, or OS X (Intel only).
Fast modern CPU with SSE2. Multiple cores for a speed boost.
Any reasonable modern GPU with Pixel Shader 3.0 or greater. nVidia or ATI are good. Older integrated Intel chips may not work, newer ones should work fine.
