=Overview=Netplay'''[[wikipedia:Dolphin (emulator)|Dolphin]]''' is a [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]] / [[Wii emulators|Wii emulator]] that supports many extra features not present on the original consoles, such as upscaling and texture replacements. Early development was supported by a very active homebrew scene led by fail0verflow (previously known as Team Twiizers). Dolphin's development is still very active as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, with many contributors to its GitHub repository updating the emulator multiple times a week.<ref>[https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/projects/emulator/issues?set_filter=1&status_id=c&tracker_id=1 Dolphin issue list] (closed issues)</ref> Dolphin's official website, dolphin-emu.org, also runs a blog, with multiple progress reports throughout the year detailing pull requests from contributors, and providing comprehensive and in-depth feature articles. Dolphin's website also features a wiki with guides on setup for multiple parts of the emulator and detailed game articles featuring useful information regarding compatibility, performance, and associated peripherals. ==Features==[[File:Dolphin QtUI.png|300px|thumb|left|Some of Dolphin's settings and game screenshots.

Click to view.]]Dolphin has support for widescreen output and can override the aspect ratio of the original game. However, this is a hack that rarely works without issues. Many games feature Action Replay and/or Gecko codes that do a better job at adding widescreen support, and said codes can be found on [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/ Dolphin's own wiki.] *'''Netplay'''
