Overview

stenzek originally designed DuckStation as a testing ground for his contributions to Dolphin.[1] However, the graphical interface is already in a state where it can be regularly used. Stenzek has even said the UI was pulled from Dolphin, since it was "designed in conjunction with actual UI/UX people."[2]

As DuckStation is in heavy development, some things aren't implemented and it prominently features a debug dropdown on the main window.
