Overview

Dolphin is a Gamecube, Wii and Triforce (the arcade machine based on the Gamecube) emulator.

Gamecube compatibility is okay - lots of games work, many games don't work.

Wii compatibility is also good - a lot of games do work. Wii emulation generally requires a bit more computing power than Gamecube emulation, though.

Triforce compatibility is not really known yet, but at least one game runs, with minor glitches.


Usage Notes

The GUI should be pretty much self-explanatory.

To use Action Replay codes, follow the examples in the Patches subdirectory. Use + in front of a cheat name to activate it. The cheats can be named anything.

To start in debug mode, pass /d (or -d) on the command line.


Code Notes

Dolphin is written in C++. It's usually compiled with Visual Studio 2008, but it now also builds and runs with GCC under Linux and MacOSX.

To tweak settings for the JIT/Dynarec, see Core/PowerPC/Jit64/JitCache.cpp, in InitCache().
