About Dolphin
Dolphin is a Gamecube and Wii emulator. Most games run perfectly or with minor bugs. Games are playable at HD quality, up to 1080p. This is a remarkable feature the actual Gamecube and Wii consoles are not capable of. As an open source project everyone can commit improvements. The code is hosted on code.google.com. Dolphin is actively developed and almost every day new features are added and bugs fixed as well.

From now on Dolphin Builds have integrated multilingual GUI support! Visit the Dolphin Forum to take part in the translation process. In addition to that LLE JIT has been completed! In order to optimize current code, further development efforts are already in progress. Most of the remarkable recent speed-ups were accomplished by replacing current C++ code with optimized SSE2/3 code within the texturedecoder. Last but not least work was done to improve the FIFO, next to general bugfixing and code improving over the past weeks.

System Requirements
Dolphin makes use of two processors if present!
* Windows XP or higher, or Linux, or MacOSX Intel.
* Fast CPU with SSE2.
* GPU with Pixel Shader 2.0 or greater. Not all integrated graphics chips work
Features
Dolphin comes with many features. Some are even not available on the original Wii gaming console.
* You can save a running game whenever you want and reload a state.
* Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering makes the games more brilliant and realistic. Typically a game looks much better on Dolphin than on the original Wii console. Actual quality depends on the graphics card.
* Play on maximum resolution in high definition up to 1080p. This is a remarkable feature the original Wii console lacks of.
* Connect your Wiimote and Nunchuck to your computer for a better gaming experience.
Why so many revisions?
* What does r5126 mean?
* What is a revision?
* Why so many versions?
Dolphin is developed by many developers around the world. Everyone commits new ideas, features and bug fixes. The work needs to be coordinated, so that the source code doesn't end in a mess.
Performance
Dolphin comes with default settings that may not be the best for you. You can get massive performance boost by just modifying a few settings. Gains of +20 FPS are not unusual. Just follow the performance guidelines.
