Added a little aside about Virtual Console games in Dolphin.
===64DD Emulation===
The 64DD (an abbreviation for "64 Disk Drive") was a Japan-exclusive peripheral which allowed a proprietary disk format to be used with the N64. These disks had more space at a cheaper manufacturing cost. The peripheral was a commercial failure. There are currently no emulators that can emulate the 64DD. The peripheral is almost completely undocumented, which would make emulation very hard. Numerous attempts were made to emulate the 64DD, but none of them really went anywhere beyond proof-of-concept stages. Don't expect a 64DD emulator anytime soon, if ever.
==Dolphin Virtual Console==
Some N64 games are actually emulated best as a Virtual Console game through Dolphin. Mario Tennis, Kirby 64, and Paper Mario are all examples of this. Please note that the system requirements are much higher if you do this, due to the fact that you're emulating an emulator.
