​

Dolphin Emulator, the most popular (and pretty much only good) GC and Wii emulator has reached their latest milestone, 5.0! It's been ~3 years since the release of 4.0, and during that time there have been thousands and thousands of fixes for games of all kinds. Dolphin 5.0 re-adds support for stereoscopic output, official zFreeze support, official ES_Launch support (so you can play those lovely, lovely masterpieces on Super Smash Bros Brawl!), improved Netplay and more!

With this new release, the requirements have changed:

• 64-bit CPUs and Operating Systems are required.
• Windows XP is no longer supported. Windows Vista is no longer officially supported.
• Direct3D10/OpenGL3 Required. This means AMD Radeon 4xxx, NVIDIA GeForce 8xxx, or Intel HD 2xxx minimum! Anything older than that will most likely not work or will have significant glitches

You can check out the full-ish "changelog" here, and as always you can grab the emulator itself at Dolphin Emu's official website.

Some Space Raiders video I just made on Dolphin 5.0.15



Amazing emulator, the visual quality is just fantastic, the audio is exquisite control is awesome. Just not enough positive things to say about Dolphin.

I wonder how much The Last Story improve with new Dolphin. Did anyone try it so far?

 

[DinohScene]

RIP Dolphin on me lappy.
Welp, time to really upgrade it.

Looks great! Too bad I have a 32 Bit Windows 7. Oh well, it was mega-laggy before, and I don't think that would change. I'll just stick to playing on my Wii.

Tested it on batteries with my laptop last night. It works really well.

I'm glad I have OpenGL 3.3/3.2 (I forgot) and x64 Windows 8. But VBA-M support too? Maybe my 3GB RAM laptop can get a good FPS (finally).

An emulator in an emulator? Wouldn't a standalone GBA emulator make more sense?

Amazing. I'd play that any day

There used to be a problem with some of the background appearing to be rendered in front of the track. It wasn't game breaking but it's fixed now:

It looks great!

Now introducing: Animal Crossing: Vinesauce Corrupter Seizure Party for the Nintendo Gamecube!

But really though, what are the best settings for this? My processor is AMD E-450 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.65 GHz (If it was HD, then why would it lag with HD games, hmm?).

Your CPU is pure shit, you won't get anywhere.
To elaborate, here is a medium end i5 vs your CPU:

Here is your graphics compared to a somewhat low end graphics card nowadays, the GTX 950: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-6320-IGP-vs-GeForce-GTX-950

Unless you're happy with low framerates you should at least get an i3 or AMD equivalent and some sort of graphics card

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

dolphin emu android port is still under developed. It can run games, and look okay but not at full speed currently.

I was getting somewhere around 50 fps on the title screen of that glitchy mess (which is usually a rarity for basically any Gamecube game running on my computer), so maybe I'll get atleast some mediorce results...? But hey, I'm pretty sure we'd both take a much lower framerate over seizure inducing graphics any day.
