MrJimbo1qaz, you do realize the probability of experiencing bugs and issues is greater when using the dev builds, right? Only those that can stand having their game session interrupted with a bug and have the know how on how to report the problem should use the dev builds.
That one year was mostly used to squash bugs in the dev builds to allow for a stable 5.0 release. So - while I do use dev releases they are definitely not for everyone and I will use 5.0 for the next months now.
Hey! I'm actually the one that wrote the text editor to write the text and I wrote the dialog, with some help from the Dolphin team. Glad you liked it! I've done a few other things. You can take a peek at my twitter if you want. twitter.com/SageOfMirrors
Quinn The Quartz Actually, with Direct Connect, you can use an official or off-brand Wii U adapter with Dolphin to connect up to four standard GameCube controllers with no latency.
Of course it is. It was built on a PC with PC graphics. Almost every emulator is better than the console, because the PC has better graphics and processing power.
I think it just has to do with the PS2's guts working like spaghetti more so than anything. Though it's not like I'm a master on either console's architecture.
+Astral Wolf this one sucks cause for some dumbass reason why the idiots who removed the brows for roms feature thought it was a great idea to remove it and now if i reinstall the thing and install the new one i wont be able to make it see where i save my roms
6.0 don’t need to be released as the emulator is greater than console for 98% of games besides not being able to play ctgp online although there’s other mkwii mods playable
Man, I still remember when this release video came out. I can't believe it has been almost three years... ... What?!? It's been *three years* since the last release!?
+M. SKWAWKS No, it gives a lot of benefit for normal users. Atleast, dolphin makes my playing Skyward Sword as my TV is usually occoupied by my parents.
At 2.0ghz, I couldn't even run Mario Sunshine at 30fps, the highest I got was 23. Somehow, the guys behind Dolphin improved on it so much that I can get 60fps on the same settings. I have no idea how. (I'm using a laptop, too.)
What *everybody* knows is that 99% of statistics that state 99% are absolute bullshit. And emulators are not illegal dumbass, they aren't even illegal stupid. Hell, they aren't even plain illegal.
***** Don't be stupid. Honestly, even I have a gamecube emulator with melee on it. But I also have a physical copy of melee so what I am doing is completely legal. So be quiet, okay?
Kwinston X Smash Did you download that copy and the uploader had no permission to upload it? Then it is illegal, even if you do own the actual copy. If you made the dump yourself, it depends on your region, in some countries that is illegal because you would need to bypass the copy protection.
the fuck you talking bout 1070 is expensive as fuck not everybody wants to spend that much on a PC i mean if the only thing you do with your'e life is game on your'e PC then yea i understand why you would want the best parts.
ChuggyNation Chugg Dude, no need to hate just because a man has a high budget. If you can't justify spending high on GPUs then that's cool, but don't slam those of us who can.
M Phylo i was not trynna insult anyone, why would you buy a 1080 if you don't have that much time for playing games. logic , its like am gonna buy a lamborghini but i never drive the thing whats the point? being cool because i have a expensive car lolol.
+TigerSlashX Thanks. Just researched - I had no idea that Dolphin emulated N64 virtual console games! Cool. And it looks like it runs Snap more accurately than all the N64 emus I've used that don't register the names of Pokémon when you shoot them - Dolphin does.
+Grizeus It doesn't. While dolphin emulates the software (virtual console wad, here) but the underlying software(N64 emulator developed by Nintendo) is shittier than other emulators...
+윤여민 Yeah, tried it out. It is generally shittier. But with Pokémon Snap, there's been a glitch with all the emus I've used where it won't register the names of Pokémon in camera, which makes it impossible to unlock the final level normally.
Awesome, well I've even pitched into the Wiki here and there. Like the particle effects issues in Mega Man Network Transmission between the different graphical backends, that was quite some time ago. Or more recently the texture cache settings for Kirby's Dream Land 3 in Kirby's Dream Collection.
The release process skipped Android. It was not part of the feature freeze and was not stabilized for release. Devices aren't there yet, and the AArch64JIT isn't quite up to the standards of the x86-64 JIT. Android will continue to be updated alongside dev builds, so it's not like it's abandoned or left behind. It's just more beneficial to let it continue to developer rather than freezing it in an incomplete state for release.
+Dolphin Emulator wow, tanks for the answer! I understand the problems, but is very sad that no one knows the android version... Put a link to download the bulids in the playstore isn't a good idea? (sorry for my bad english)
It doesn't emulate straight up N64 games that you play on an N64 emulator. It plays the virtual console versions that are downloaded onto the Wii. So the only N64 games it can play are the ones that were ported.
Any game released for the Wii Virtual Console should be able to run in Dolphin. This includes NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, Master System, TurboGrafx-16, Neo Geo, and Commodore 64
The correct way would be to dump them straight from your Wii, but I'm willing to bet Google would be a nice searching companion if you haven't bought those games yet. When dumped/downloaded, they usually come in a file type called .wad and you open them up on Dolphin the same way you open a .iso file.
The fact that these guys are doing this for free and only really accepting donations is unbelievable. This is some of the coolest shit I've ever seen, especially considering how much of a challenge this probably was. Hats off to you guys, seriously.
Cesar Meneses Audeves I played with my friend that was in Maryland. I was in New Jersey. We both had half decent internet, and we never had any desyncs during Mario Kart.
The programming accomplishments alone are impressive, but they are also very clearly and professionally presented in this video. Nicely done, I really like the little in-game dialogs too. :D
I'm happy and sad about the fact that the team REALLY tests versions before they release them in the Stable release. We've gotten a lot of features in Dev builds, but it's been 3 years AGAIN since we got a Stable release.
I know this may sound weird but i have seen this video at least 10 times.Am i the only one?Idk i just think it's satisfying to see those improvements and see how far the Dolphin Emulator has come
I just upgraded and started using the frame and audio dump features, now I have great 1080p60 frame dumps and really nice audio. This upgrade is amazing!!

Hiker Wolfspaine But in less than one year Cemu has made an awesome progress :) I think at the end of the year you will be able to play 1/4 of the WiiU games :) And at the end of 2017 the vast majority of all games :)
Whoa! I've never even seen a trailer for an emulator! This emulator was awesome, and now it's even more epic! The Intro was hilarious also! Very clever! Amazing job on this release video alone!
You are not alone. I use a pentium 4 with windows xp for like 11 years now. i'm too goddamn jealous of my friends having a core i7 and a ps4 on a silver platter.

I have a pretty weak Intel Pentium G860, 8GB RAM and a GTX 750 OC videocard, and what I tested all ran really well in 1080p. But even with my old HD 2600XT, some games were playable.
im pretty sure someone who wasnt part of the core team made it and added a request to add it to the main branch, so the main team just made use of the oppurtunity
Firesage Tony The dolphin team ignore a question that was actually understandable from someone who speaks English as a second language and I'm the one who is bitter? Sorry, I don't think so.
I honestly asking this and not trying to be a dick but what's the point of Dolphin exactly? I don't know anything about it but I already own a Wii so is there any reason I should use this?
Well if you don't own a game for one...also certain games on gamecube can be played multiplayer online with dolphin whereas the actual game itself doesn't even have the option (SSB Melee
+Wesley White I mean, I've already got a homebrewed Wii so I just don't really see any compelling reason to use this. I mean it's cool and all but I don't think there are really any great reasons for most people to use this over a homebrewed Wii, though maybe I'm just not seeing the whole picture or something.
HD graphics, faster frame rates, any controller you want, multiplayer, not having to turn on a Wii just to play a game, being able to play a video and a Wii or GameCube game while watching something on UA-cam.
Yeah, I remember running into first a really laggy glitch with the paper effects, then some other crash bug I had to hunt down a previous version for that was really common. Hope they fixed that... hm, I should look at my old comments on their forum so I can double-check where it was...
Xuncu lol gl with that, the new version fixed a lot of my lag issues, and the only time it's really bad now is during those paper effects, where it will go from 100% speed to like 40%, its weird lol
greenyoshi119 Well, even with an earlier build, there were a few setting you can do. One was a graphics setting, I think the default is Graphics backend from OpenGL to your graphics card-- except I had to switch back if I wanted to use those two fortune tellers in the Underground. Also, my PC is pretty beef, despite being from 2008, it's a 2008 with an *i7* (first gen): all I had to do recently was buy a ~$100 graphics card, I can play _XCOM 2_ on high settings with NO LAG.
Emulators and emulation is not illegal. Downloading games is, you need to backup your own game but how and where you play it is completely legal. So Nintendo won't and cna't take this down.
Well, Wii U stll uses the same architecture and has a set of same/similar features, which make it possible to play Wii/GC games on it, so maybe it's not really that different, but don't take my words too seriously, sinse I don't know much about it.
I first found out about Dolphin Emulator about half a year ago and I thought it was too good to be true, well I just recently downloaded it and got a couple games that I played as kid. Man was I surprised when it actually worked and the games look great! Keep up the great work Dolphin Emulator its amazing!
I bet you can. My PC runs on a intergrated graphics card you've probably never heard of and a dual core processor and most games even though at low settings run this emulator 60 fps. it's just that well optimized
Would it be right to assume that my Mayflash Sensor-bar will work with this (awesome) update? Also, if it isn't too much to ask: What were the specs of the computer(s?) you used to "grab" the in-game footage shown in this trailer? Edit: Oh! Almost forgot... Thanks for all your hardwork,!
In theory, yes. However, currently there is a bug meaning that any game that requires a Wiimote to play will not work online unfortunately. However, Wii games that can be played with a GameCube controller, such as Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, should work fine.
+Dolphin Emulator Ah, so no worries with GC games huh? Sounds good. That's a little unfortunate on the Wii side though, I've wanted to try Tatsunoko vs. Capcom with the Netplay.
The work you do here is absolutely incredible. Thank you for the love and dedication to the classic beautiful stories we grew up with. Your work will be remembered!
Games like Baldur's Gate and Star Wars Rogue Squadron still seem to have their faults, but they're playable now. This breakthrough and updates you have gone through is absolutely fantastic! This might be a free project but you and what team you have deserve all the support you could get for such works. Keep it up, before we know it one day we'll be playing these games flawlessly! My GameCube died 10+ years ago and it warms my heart to see these old familiar things back to life and functional as you've done it.
The amount of effort put into this trailer is amazing! Might probably be the best trailer I have ever seen for any shown product. Very nice presentation! Also, great work to all the developers who is taking care of this wonderful software! Keep up the fantastic work as always :)

This was more exciting than 90% of what was shown at E3
So much YES
the 10% is the new zelda right?
Exciting things at E3: AMD's hardware, Zelda BotW, Death Stranding, and maybe the Setsuna game? For me, that's it.

Dolphin is now the definitive GameCube experience. It's better than the actual console in every way.
Not the controller!

Truly one of the most impressive pieces of software ever written.
Truth 💯
if only ps2 emulators were this good. dolphin emulator is near perfect.
have you tried the psp version on the psp emulator? that version suppose to be good. its the Saturn version that had maria in it.
SotN works fine in software mode
I think it just has to do with the PS2's guts working like spaghetti more so than anything. Though it's not like I'm a master on either console's architecture.

When a game upscaled in an emulator looks better than a HD remaster.
CogniVision no...
@CogniVision I know right. Nintendo needs to step their game up.
Xenoblade even in 1080p with minimal antialiasing looks fuckin GLORIOUS. It gives it that PS3 feel, for sure.
Hell no. Wind Waker HD looks amazing.
WWHD looks terrible compared to the original.

What PC was used to run all of that? Meaning, the specs.
I have i5 and geforce 760, can play majority of games at fullspeed@1080p
just get an i5, Sandy Bridge... Nehlaem...
the highest clockspeed you can get on the latest arch you can get. assume every new arch is at least 5 to 10% faster.
low as AMD A8-6410 cpu with 800 passmark
I have a pretty weak Intel Pentium G860, 8GB RAM and a GTX 750 OC videocard, and what I tested all ran really well in 1080p.
But even with my old HD 2600XT, some games were playable.
Why did you use dx12 isntead of vulkan!?
im pretty sure someone who wasnt part of the core team made it and added a request to add it to the main branch, so the main team just made use of the oppurtunity
Vulkan is probably going to be added later, and they should because i don't want to upgrade to windows 10 again -_-
BlackJoe23 Ha, ok I see,

I'm so happy!
16.000 updates since then. Let's go.
Thank you guys so much. Over 12 or 13 years are you guys are still updating and supporting. i love you people.
Can anyone tell me exactly The settings for this new Dolphin To be the faster the Possible
I don't understand this sentence. Would you be able to clarify?
sorry I am Brazilian and I am using a translator.what I'm asking and to find out what the settings for the games run faster
I think you're being deliberately obnoxious. I understood exactly what he meant and I'm almost certain you did too.
+Callum Kenny wow you are bitter
Firesage Tony The dolphin team ignore a question that was actually understandable from someone who speaks English as a second language and I'm the one who is bitter? Sorry, I don't think so.
"my longest yeah boy ever"
And here we are 3 years since the last update once again...
how did this only come up now!!!!!!!!!! i'm so excited thank you all!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your great work!
I honestly asking this and not trying to be a dick but what's the point of Dolphin exactly? I don't know anything about it but I already own a Wii so is there any reason I should use this?
Well if you don't own a game for one...also certain games on gamecube can be played multiplayer online with dolphin whereas the actual game itself doesn't even have the option (SSB Melee
+Wesley White So no real reason then? Just HD graphics and some games with multiplayer?
Maybe not real reasons for you lol your definition of "real" is a bit off my friend
+Wesley White I mean, I've already got a homebrewed Wii so I just don't really see any compelling reason to use this. I mean it's cool and all but I don't think there are really any great reasons for most people to use this over a homebrewed Wii, though maybe I'm just not seeing the whole picture or something.
HD graphics, faster frame rates, any controller you want, multiplayer, not having to turn on a Wii just to play a game, being able to play a video and a Wii or GameCube game while watching something on UA-cam.
Literally the best update Dolphin could have gotten. Before it was slow and buggy most of the time for me, but now I'm running games at 1080p.
But can it run Crysis?
What about Minecraft? Will it play Minecraft?
The words suck and
Shadow Mario minecraft can't be in the same comment
does it work on android?
MadGraph will it work fine on gtx1070
Chapeau un grand bravo
This is pretty hype, maybe i can finally run pm ttyd on my shit computer lol
Same here XD
Yeah, I remember running into first a really laggy glitch with the paper effects, then some other crash bug I had to hunt down a previous version for that was really common. Hope they fixed that... hm, I should look at my old comments on their forum so I can double-check where it was...
Hot shit, fixed exactly the problem. Gonna dick around in TTYD epilogue chapter to double-check. Laters!
Xuncu lol gl with that, the new version fixed a lot of my lag issues, and the only time it's really bad now is during those paper effects, where it will go from 100% speed to like 40%, its weird lol

Well, even with an earlier build, there were a few setting you can do. One was a graphics setting, I think the default is Graphics backend from OpenGL to your graphics card-- except I had to switch back if I wanted to use those two fortune tellers in the Underground.
Also, my PC is pretty beef, despite being from 2008, it's a 2008 with an *i7* (first gen): all I had to do recently was buy a ~$100 graphics card, I can play _XCOM 2_ on high settings with NO LAG.
How does this even exist? Nintendo not taking this down even after all this time, just amazes me
Emulators and emulation is not illegal. Downloading games is, you need to backup your own game but how and where you play it is completely legal. So Nintendo won't and cna't take this down.
Can't believe I'm just seeing this now! Wonderful job you guys! :D
History is made here ladies and gents.
Will you add support for WiiU later?
Dolphin is my favourite dev team, would love to see this!
would be nice if they could put their projects together
+JaysonSR but wouldnt it be possible to just execute their code when launching a wii u to have those games in one program? :p
Well, Wii U stll uses the same architecture and has a set of same/similar features, which make it possible to play Wii/GC games on it, so maybe it's not really that different, but don't take my words too seriously, sinse I don't know much about it.
Actually no, the Wii U CPU is pretty much Wii with more cores and higher clock speed, the GPU is also just newer.
Getting a full new PC this year, super psyched to play these games at stable frame rates in HD! Thank you Dolphin!
*I'm more hyped about this than the NX lol*
Fuck it. I'm downloading Dolphin. I can live with the guilt of not supporting the developers.
Intergalactic Human Empire They're not making dick off most of these games anymore anyway, so you're technically you're not either way XD
I first found out about Dolphin Emulator about half a year ago and I thought it was too good to be true, well I just recently downloaded it and got a couple games that I played as kid. Man was I surprised when it actually worked and the games look great! Keep up the great work Dolphin Emulator its amazing!
I'm so incredibly impressed by the people who developed this project. I can't imagine how much work it takes to program a emulator that runs so well.
5 years later...still no 6.0
Let's try this version with my powerful i3 2100...
i3 squad present
+Naiko There are literally DOZENS of us!
yo you have the exact same cpu as me!
I was using a Q6600 until last year. End me
Yeah, let's kinda just try it with my overheating i7-6700. Ugh, the pain..
does anyone else just come back to this video to marvel at what they achieved + perfect background music?
Thanks for letting me know about the better performance, Major. I was worry about it being slower.
What song is used at 5:36? My PC sucks so I can't emulate anything but I liked the video!
That would be Smash Superstars by Zircon
ocremix.org/remix/OCR03156
I bet you can. My PC runs on a intergrated graphics card you've probably never heard of and a dual core processor and most games even though at low settings run this emulator 60 fps. it's just that well optimized
Smash Superstars by zircon
Read the description. It's Smash Superstars by zircon - ocremix.org/remix/OCR03156
ocremix.org/remix/OCR03156 use descriptions. But here you go
Would it be right to assume that my Mayflash Sensor-bar will work with this (awesome) update?
Also, if it isn't too much to ask: What were the specs of the computer(s?) you used to "grab" the in-game footage shown in this trailer?
Edit: Oh! Almost forgot...
Thanks for all your hardwork,!
Footage was mostly grabbed on a Core i5-3570K CPU. Mayflash DolphinBar does work in 5.0.
Dolphin Emulator
Core i5 CPU without a dedicated GPU? Impressive.
Dolphin Emulator Also, good to know. I do love my Mayflash. Will update as soon as I am able. Thanks, mate!
OMG THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! I'M REALLY GLAD YOU GUYS TOOK YOUR TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! 😀👏👏👏
There's so many cool features in the experimental versions they've released. It's been 4 years, it's time we've gotten 6.0.
Thanks for creating this wonderful software.
Wait. WAIT!! I SEE NETPLAY, YOU CAN PLAY GAMES ONLINE WITH THIS????
Yep! Dolphin supports online Netplay.
+Dolphin Emulator With all games huh? I'm kind of new to Netplay haha.
In theory, yes. However, currently there is a bug meaning that any game that requires a Wiimote to play will not work online unfortunately. However, Wii games that can be played with a GameCube controller, such as Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, should work fine.
+Dolphin Emulator Ah, so no worries with GC games huh? Sounds good. That's a little unfortunate on the Wii side though, I've wanted to try Tatsunoko vs. Capcom with the Netplay.
+JACMIC23 TvC has GC controller support
The work you do here is absolutely incredible. Thank you for the love and dedication to the classic beautiful stories we grew up with. Your work will be remembered!
Games like Baldur's Gate and Star Wars Rogue Squadron still seem to have their faults, but they're playable now. This breakthrough and updates you have gone through is absolutely fantastic! This might be a free project but you and what team you have deserve all the support you could get for such works.
Keep it up, before we know it one day we'll be playing these games flawlessly! My GameCube died 10+ years ago and it warms my heart to see these old familiar things back to life and functional as you've done it.
what the fuck this shows up in my recommendations now?
BobTheBacon me too
Fucking UA-cam algorithms
ikr
I was like " oh right new Dolphins... WHAT?"
Please update 6.0!!!
Seems like these guys had a lot of fun working on this! Great job
The amount of effort put into this trailer is amazing! Might probably be the best trailer I have ever seen for any shown product. Very nice presentation! Also, great work to all the developers who is taking care of this wonderful software! Keep up the fantastic work as always :)
Excelent, GOOD JOB.
Thanks for working c:
This is why i love the dolphin emulator guys
Although, I am having a hard time to get it properly set up.
Hey, not complaining, but theres still audio issues in 5.0. Other than that, smoother than ever. Thank your for blessing us with dolphin.
Awesome to see the D3D12 support. Gonna see how much I can squeeze out of my 1080 (5K rendering anyone?).
Did it fix Sonic Heroes being unplayable due to controls being broken?
You can re configure the controls
No fix fo Metroid Prime 2 echoes at the begining of the game : White lines
