{{Infobox emulatorWhy are Nintendulator, Nestopia and FCEUX recommended? |title = Dolphin Emulator|logo = DolphinI just tried out all the recommended emulators and Mesen and PuNES seem a lot better.

Mesen is super easy to use, Linuxhas better compatibility, macOSauto updating, [[Android emulators|Android]]netplay and it even loads goodmerged-files. PuNES is not as good but supports rewinding so that I might get by.|target = :Nestopia 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. -- [[GameCube emulatorsUser:Random Encounter|GameCubeRandom Encounter]] and ([[Wii emulatorsUser talk:Random Encounter|Wiitalk]]|developer = [https) 14://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/graphs/contributors Dolphin Team]|website = [https://dolphin-emu.org/ Dolphin-emu.org]|source = [https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin GitHub]}}17, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
DolphinNote that Mesen, while it works on GNU/Linux, it's official websitepretty awful due to a ton of stuttering and lag during gameplay, dolphin-emu.org, also runs a blog even with monthly progress reports, tracking pull requests from contributors, and providing comprehensive and in-depth feature articlesVSync turned on. Another site that has been confused puNES should be recommended over it for the real one, dolphin-emulator.com, has no connection to the project GNU/Linux users (and only hosts builds going up to 4.0NEStopia UE for its libretro core).[[User:Syboxez|Syboxez]] ([[User talk:Syboxez|talk]])
It is also available as a [[libretro]] core for [[RetroArch]].== Some Issues ==

==Netplay=={{MainI plan to do some other minor edits to polish, but first I wanted to clear this up. [[User:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|Dolphin Online}}Goi~Yaas~Dinn]] ([[User talk:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|talk]])
==Widescreen==
[[File:Dolphin_Swiss.gif|200px|thumb|right|Instructional animation on how to use Swiss with Dolphin. 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. To get widescreen fully natively, try [[Emulator_Files#GameCube.2FWii|Swiss]]. This can even be run on a real GameCube/Wii if desired.
==Guides 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.

→Adding ares
FCEUX still gets recc'''Dolphin''' is an open-source ed based on debugging features. These things matter for homebrew. As for Nintendulator, not a damn clue. [[GameCube emulatorsUser:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|GameCubeGoi~Yaas~Dinn]] and ([[Wii emulatorsUser talk:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|Wii emulatortalk]] which supports many extra features not present on the original consoles. Though early development was supported by a very active homebrew scene led by fail0verflow precursor Team Twiizers, proper emulation is still underway as of 2018 and improvements are still being made as Wii games continue to have issues.)
== 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. I recommend something like this gets added: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"! scope="col"|Name! scope="col"|Platform(s)! scope="col"|Latest Version! scope="col"|[[CategoryWikipedia:EmulatorsFamily Computer Disk System|FDS]]! scope="col"|[[Category:Custom Assetslibretro|Libretro Core]]! scope="col"|[[Category:NetplayEmulation Accuracy|Accuracy]]! scope="col"|<abbr title="Free/Libre and Open-Source Software">FLOSS</abbr>! scope="col"|Active! scope="col"|[[Category:Windows emulation softwareRecommended Emulators|Recommended]]|-|[[ares]]|align=left|{{Icon|Windows|Linux|macOS}}|[Categoryhttps:Linux emulation software]//github.com/higan-emu/ares/releases/ {{aresVer}}]|{{✓}}|{{✗}}|?|{{✓}}|{{✓}}|{{✗}}|} [[CategoryUser:macOS emulation softwareBlaBlaCra|BlaBlaCra]]([[CategoryUser talk:Android emulation softwareBlaBlaCra|talk]]) 21:07, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
