Dolphin (emulator) - Features

Features

The development builds of Dolphin may have new enhancements, fixes, and experimental features which will eventually be in an official release. Dolphin's team is asking the community for suggestions for new and more useful features they want in Dolphin. Current features include:

  • Action Replay support, Gecko codes support, and patch support
  • Support for multiple controllers, including the Xbox 360 Controller, Logitech game controllers, and iPhone (jailbroken) support (through iController)
  • Experimental NetPlay
  • Anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering
  • Save states
  • Memory Card Manager: allows exporting save files to and from virtual GCN memory cards.
  • Real and emulated multiple Wii Remote support (a real MotionPlus can be used for games that require it, or unofficial builds are available that emulate it).
  • Wii Remote expansions support (Nunchuk, Classic controller, Guitar, Drums, Turntable)
  • DSP HLE and LLE: High-level emulation is a faster, though inaccurate, sound emulation, and LLE reproduces the original sound at the cost of performance and requires a dump of files from an actual console
  • WAD (downloadable games) support (mostly used for WiiWare, Virtual Console, etc.)
  • Support for Homebrew and XFB emulation
  • Hi-Res Texture Support, Texture Dumper, Free Look
  • Frameskipping
  • Tool-assisted speedrun tools
  • Post-processing pixel shaders
  • OpenCL hardware accelerated texture processing
  • Widescreen hack for forcing widescreen output on some games that don't have widescreen. This hack may cause some graphic glitches, notably seen on Super Mario Sunshine.

Famous quotes containing the word features:

    The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
