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. ==Features==[[File:Dolphin QtUI.png|300px|thumb|left|Some of Dolphin's settings and game screenshots.

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 / 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.
