{{InfoboxWhy are Nintendulator, Nestopia and FCEUX recommended? |image = DolphinI just tried out all the recommended emulators and Mesen and PuNES seem a lot better.

PuNES is not as good but supports rewinding so that I might get by.|fourth = Dolphin Team|fifth = [https://dolphinNestopia is still recommended primarily because of its availability as a Libretro core. Standalone is okay but puNES and Mesen are much better these days. If either of those two were to become Libretro cores then I couldn't see recommending Nestopia at all. As for FCEUX and Nintendulator, I have no idea. -emu.org/ Dolphin-emu.org[[User:Random Encounter|Random Encounter]]|sixth = ([[httpsUser talk://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin GitHubRandom Encounter|talk]]}}) 14:17, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
The official website Note that Mesen, while it works on GNU/Linux, it's pretty awful due to a ton of stuttering and lag during gameplay, even with up to date builds is the dolphin-emu.org site. The VSync turned on.com site is not officially connected to the project puNES should be recommended over it for GNU/Linux users (and often hosts out of date versionsNEStopia UE for its libretro core).

==Recommended setup=====System requirements===* CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GHz1. Can we cut the description of the FDS down to a line and keep all the talkative bits about it under its peripheral subheader? I realize I'm guilty of nearly doubling its number of lines, AMD Phenom II X4 955<ref>https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-new-dolphin-cpu-benchmark-no-game-required</ref> or better* GPU: DirectX 11.1 or OpenGL 4but that's before I read the whole page and discovered it already had a home.4 support* RAM: 2 GB minimum
===Controllers===* [https://wiki2.dolphinThere appears to be a dick-emumeasuring contest going on in a footnote between proponents of mesen and puNES re the number of mappers each supports.org/index.phpCan I just say each supports mappers the other doesn't or would that be untrue?title=Configuring_Controllers#GameCube_Controller DualShock 3/Xbox 360 controller]* [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_Working_Bluetooth_Devices USB Bluetooth adapter]* [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Configuring_Controllers#Wii_Remote_.22Wiimote.22 Wiimote] (and MotionPlus for games that require it)* Nunchuk* Wireless Sensor Bar
==Netplay=={{Main|Dolphin Online}}3. The assertion that VC NES emulation is somehow accurate in any way (simply because Nintendo did it) I find highly suspect (considering what is known about their approach to other consoles such as the SNES and N64). Can anyone back that up?
==Widescreen==I plan to do some other minor edits to polish, but first I wanted to clear this up. [[FileUser:Dolphin_Swiss.gifGoi~Yaas~Dinn|200px|thumb|right|Instructional animation on how to use Swiss with Dolphin. Click to view.Goi~Yaas~Dinn]]Built into Dolphin is a native widescreen feature, to enable 16:9 output in games. However, this rarely works without issues. To get widescreen fully natively, try ([[Emulator_Files#GameCube.2FWiiUser talk:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|Swisstalk]]. This can even be run on a real GameCube/Wii if desired.)

==References=={{reflist}}Pretty much no VC emulator is accurate, barring GBA on the 3DS since it uses hardware, and GBA on the Wii U is decent as well, due to being coded by a third party. Also would be nice if the FDS info was still on the page, just somewhere else. The FDS versions of many games were superior to the American cart releases, and it would be good for people to know that. [[User:Syboxez|Syboxez]] ([[User talk:Syboxez|talk]])

FCEUX still gets recc'''Dolphin''' is an open source GameCube and Wii emulator which supports many extra ed based on debugging features and abilities . These things matter for homebrew.

I went ahead and finished editing and polishing. Thank you for your (somewhat belated) response. [[CategoryUser:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|Goi~Yaas~Dinn]] ([[User talk:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|talk]]) 03:56, 25 July 2017 (EDT) == Adding ares == I've been adding ares entries to all the relevant emulator pages, but this one is protected. ares gives itself a 2/4 star ratings (in terms of how many titles are playable, not actual accuracy), so it certainly would not be a recommended emulator, but I think it's still worth adding.
