You can download and install Dolphin Emulator on Mac and PC machines with simple steps and play your desired games. It is an open source project so everyone can make and commit their improvements. It has extended features which are increasing day by day with it’s upgraded versions. Hey I'm trying to play soem gamecube games. Gamecube games are pretty old so mac should handle them. On YouTube everyone can play. Remote usb power switch for mac.

From my experience with PCSX2 (PS2 emulator) the CPU is indeed the most important. You have an i7 so that's good. BUT I see each one of those cores only runs at 2,16GHz, and seeing Dolphin (just as PCSX2) only supports 2 cores to the fullest, that may very well be your problem. It doesn't matter you have 4 cores, the emulator is programmed to only use 2 cores and if those cores don't work fast enough, there will be lag. Ideally you should have a super fast Dual Core for emulators, and not a Quadcore. From their FAQ: Q: The game runs very slow A: Do not expect to get high FPS in all games, Dolphin is still in development and needs a fast CPU to run it (eg: 2-4+ Ghz SSE2 supported processor). Try enabling Dual Core under configure to speed it up.

The Dolphin Emulator is among the most popular, if not the most popular, on the scene. This is because of an unprecedented level of accuracy, performance features, and enhancement capabilities. What started as a humble GameCube emulator became the premiere GameCube and Wii emulator before the latter system’s console cycle was even finished! Dolphin is an open-source, cross-platform project, which means it’s available on all kinds of hardware. More recent versions only support 64-bit Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Android operating systems, though. For the sake of simplicity, this guide will assume that you’re using Windows 10, the most-used desktop operating system at the time of writing.

Much of the wisdom learned here can be applied to installation and configuration on other operating systems as well, and we even have an. I’d still recommend following this guide’s post-installation steps to learn more about configuration, though, especially graphics settings.

Installing Dolphin Emulator on Your PC When installing Dolphin Emulator, you have two options: a Stable version, or a Development version. Stable versions are released once every year or two, while Development versions can have multiple within the same day. If you want to play it super-safe, you can use a Stable version, but I highly recommend simply using the latest Development version and updating once every week/two weeks. Issues don’t arise often in Development versions, and when they do they are quickly fixed. Head to the and select which version you want to install. At the time of writing, Dolphin 5.0-5667 is the most recent, so we’ll be installing that one in this guide. Click “Windows x64.” Dolphin will download in a 7z archive which can be extracted using either 7-Zip or WinRAR.

And is free, though,. You’ll need to decide where to place this archive – I recommend setting aside a folder especially for Dolphin and your games. For me, this is a folder on a secondary hard drive named “GameCube and Wii.” Hit “Save,” open up the folder where you placed your Dolphin archive and extract it.

Inside the folder you’ve extracted (I recommend choosing “Extract to dolphin-master-your-version” so it’s easy to switch between versions later on), go inside the “Dolphin-x64” folder and click your Dolphin executable to launch it for the first time. And you’re in! You’ll see that I have quite the collection of games despite this being a new version of Dolphin for me. This is because, regardless of where you actually install your versions of Dolphin, all of your configuration files will be kept in “My Documents -> Dolphin Emulator.” When using custom textures and saving configuration files, make sure that you place them there so they will be usable across your entire Dolphin installation. Configuring Controllers in Dolphin Emulator Dolphin Emulator is primarily for playing games, but before you can play any of those, you’ll need to configure your controllers. Before we dive straight into configurations themselves, check if you have any of the following controllers on hand: • An XInput-compatible controller – Xbox 360, Xbox One + S/X, many Logitech gamepads. XInput gamepads will be recognized by default but must be configured manually or with an.ini file.
