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:

    “Art is the child of Nature; yes,
    Her darling child, in whom we trace
    The features of the mother’s face,
    Her aspect and her attitude.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    “It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
