==Netplay=Overview='''[[wikipedia:Dolphin (emulator)|Dolphin]]''' 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]] emulation by its own built-in version of [[mGBA]] with stripped-down GUI, for the sake of GameCube games that support connectivity features<ref>https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php/Integrated_GBA</ref>. Early development was supported by a very active homebrew scene led by fail0verflow (previously known as Team Twiizers), improvements to emulation in dolphin are still being made as of {{Main|How To Play Dolphin OnlineCURRENTYEAR}}.<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 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 was working on an official VR implementation using OpenXR, though work ceased and the PR involved was closed in March of 2024.<ref>jordan-woyak.
