==Netplay=Overview={{Main'''[[wikipedia:Dolphin (emulator)|How To Play Dolphin Online}}]]''' is a [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]], [[Wii emulators|Wii emulator]] that supports many extra features not present on the original consoles, and additionally capable of basic [[Game Boy Advance emulators|Game Boy Advance]] by its own built-in version of [[mGBA]] with stripped-down GUI, for the sake of GameCube games that support connectivity features. Though early development was supported by a very active homebrew scene led by fail0verflow precursor Team Twiizers, proper emulation is still underway as of 2024 and improvements are still being made as Wii games continue to have 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. ==WidescreenFeatures==[[File:Dolphin QtUI.png|300px|thumb|left|Some of Dolphin's settings and game screenshots. View picture to enlarge.]] *'''Widescreen'''

Built into Dolphin is a native has support for widescreen feature, to enable 16:9 output in gamesand 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/ Wii|Swiss]]. This can even be run on a real GameCube/Wii if desired. *'''Netplay'''{{Main|Dolphin Online}} *'''VR support'''There exists an old fork with [[Virtual Reality|VR]] support called [[Dolphin VR]]. The Dolphin Team is working on an official VR implementation using OpenXR.<ref>jordan-woyak.
