You might have read about an unofficial branch of [[Dolphin]] with Wii U support — but don't get your hopes up. While the [https[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC |PowerPC]] architecture family in the Wii U is the same as the [[Wii emulators|Wii]] and [[GameCube emulators|GameCube ]] (this fact alone was the reason why Wii emulation was added to Dolphin, originally GCGameCube-only), this support is nothing more than the file viewer features (region, internal name, various info, list of files and folders inside ISO and a way to extract them) being expanded to Wii U disc images. Nothing has been done on the actual emulation front as far as Dolphin is concerned, and the Dolphin developers have said that they're not going to add Wii U support to Dolphin.
