The official website with up to date builds '''[[wikipedia:Dolphin (emulator)|Dolphin]]''' is an open-source [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]], [[Wii emulators|Wii emulator]] that supports many extra features not present on the dolphin-emu.org site. The original consoles.com site Though early development was supported by a very active homebrew scene led by fail0verflow precursor Team Twiizers, proper emulation is not officially connected still underway as of 2018 and improvements are still being made as Wii games continue to the project and often hosts out of date versionshave issues.

Dolphin's official website, dolphin-emu.org, also runs a blog with monthly progress reports, tracking pull requests from contributors, and providing comprehensive and in-depth feature articles. Another site that has been confused for the real one, dolphin-emulator.com, has no connection to the project and only hosts builds going up to 4.0. It is also available as a [[libretro]] core for [[RetroArch]]. ==Download=Downloads={| cellpadding="4"*|-|align=center|{{Icon|Win|Lin|Mac|APK}}|'''[https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ Dolphin Dev BuildsOfficial Release]''' (Windows x64, OS X, Ubuntu*<br/><small>Stable/Dev</small>|-{| cellpadding="4"|-like amd64)*|align=center|{{Icon|APK}}|'''[httphttps://play.googlegithub.com/storeBankaimaster999/appsdolphin/details?idreleases Unofficial MMJR]'''|-|align=org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu Dolphin Alpha for Android]center|{{Icon|APK}}*|'''[https://forumsgithub.com/weihuoya/dolphin-emu/releases/tag/5.org/Thread0-emulated9494 Unofficial MMJ]'''|-motion|colspan="3"|<hr/>|-plus-unofficial Unofficial emulated WiiMotion+ build]*|align=center|{{Icon|Win|Mac|APK}}|[https://dolphin-emu.org/download/brancheslist/Triforce/1/ <code>Triforce</code> Branch]<br/><small>for [[GameCube emulators#Triforce |Triforce branch (lets you play Triforce arcade games)]] support</small>|-|align=center|{{Icon|Lin|BSD}}|[https://pkgs.org/download/dolphin-emu <code>dolphin-emu</code> Package Listing]<br/><small>at pkgs.org</small>|}<nowiki>*</nowiki> Linux support comes in the form of an official Ubuntu PPA.
