​

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.

Google "throttle stop" and download and install it. Not sure it'll work for you, but my computer throttles when playing games, so I needed to use this app.

Something very weird that the Gamecube does that made it nearly impossible to emulate certain games.

I never thought I'd be so excited for a launch video for an EMULATOR. Seriously well done, Dolphin Team! I'll gladly be donating.

Hot damn... I look forward to trying games that weren't working so good again now with 5.0... I'd like re live some moments from the past X3! (with out getting a game cube again).

Why does my game look like this? I'm using Direct3D 11. It looks fine with OpenGL, but it doesn't run as well.

What kind of GPU/video card are you using? You can find out easily by going to Start and typing in "dxdiag" without quotes, then clicking on the Display tab.

That's...probably why, is there any way to install a video card to your machine? Dolphin requires DX12/OpenGL 3 and I don't think that IGP (integrated graphics processor) has those APIs.

Edit: My apologies, no idea why the issues are happening ><
