FAQ
- Why is the emulator running slowly on modern smartphones, are they 100,500 times faster than emulated consoles? - message

- What version of Dolphin should I download?
Dolphin does not support 32-bit operating systems. Dolphin for Android requires a 64-bit OS (ARMv8 AArch64). To check if your Android smartphone meets these requirements, simply run the APK file, and Dolphin will show everything.

- In which formats does Dolphin support games?
GCM / ISO (uncompressed images, must be 1.4 GB and 4.7 GB for GameCube and Wii games, respectively)
GCZ (Using Dolphin on a computer, you can compress ISO images to this format. In GCZ, the file size will be smaller)
CISO / WBFS (WBFS and CISO use data loss compression: they remove some unused information found on disks to make files smaller.)

- Not installed APK file emulator.
Check if your device meets the system requirements. Even with a 64-bit processor (this is especially true for hardware with Intel processors), the installed operating system may be 32-bit. If the device matches, then try installing other versions from the download page on the official emulator website.

To save your progress, use only saving in the game itself.Savestate can be used quite safely until the game automatically saves progress.

Weihuoya unofficial emulator build
- Better adapted for phones / tablets due to advanced screen management settings. There is support for gyro.
- Installed separately from the official version.
- Requires Android 7.0 (arm64 only) or newer.
- Based on the latest versions of the official emulator.
- Accelerates some games due to "simplifications and hacks" in emulation, but in some cases it breaks the graphics and can make games impassable (with default settings).
- There is no separate interface for Android TV. It uses a modified version of the GUI as for the usual Android, in which games from all consoles are collected in one list.
- Sorting the list of games by id numbers, not by name, which is inconvenient with a large number of games.

How to ask the right question if something is not working / not configurable / slow?
- write the name and model of your phone / tablet / TV set-top box;
- what version of the emulator are used;
- describe the problem in detail; If there are screenshots / videos, attach them to the message.

Practice shows that the frequently asked question: Will the game X go on the phone Y? remains unanswered.
So do not hesitate, install the emulator, check it yourself and share your impressions :)
If you choose a phone, then lookyoutube videos.

ne2e4,
Everything's under control. The emulator will be updated. Consequently, compatibility with games will be added. It's elementary, Watson.
So do not ask to move the topic.

On Google Play, I realized that this is an emulator for both gamecube and wii. Maybe you should at least write about it somewhere?

Rep: (7)
All such experts are here :) about the openGL es3, the fire seems not to have heard? It will not fly, but on 600-800th, tegra 4 especially, some simple titles can be expected almost in full speed, BAM3K, Crazy Taxi as an option. Now VideoSoftware eats the entire speed, the situation will change with es3. But when tegra 5 logan comes out with a kepler and kudo, I think everything will be fine.
By the way, devices on the PowerVR of the 5th series seem to be flying all over, as far as I know only in the 6th generation (Rogue). Imagination promised es3 support

With Wii, of course, there are more problems, because mothers do not worry there, they have to be tested from a flash drive (after formatting it in ntfs, because FAT does not work with large volumes). Due to the lack of a large amount of time, testing a couple of games, but at this stage, zero reaction. There are many images in WBFS, but the emulsion reads only ISO so far, so you can convert them withWBFS to ISO. DownloadHERE

As I understand it, this emulator will be able to play games with the Wii?



Rep: (454)
the_fest you too optimistic.

Even the owners of top-end glands on the market can not even dream of playing on this emulator.
Read the topic:
http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green...oid-development

The author has opened a collection of donations for the purchase of a smart card with support for OpenGL ES 3.0 (or rather,Samsung Galaxy S4 : rolleyes :) to sit down to write the OGL plug-in, because rendering is currently done only by means of CPU.
And even on such a seemingly “cool” hardware, the performance is hardly equal to the level of PC video cards of the lower price range ... The author hints that we will probably see “fullspeed gameplay” only in the future.

One should be wary when you donated.
Bust a Move 3000, and Crazy Taxi. This is not a real challenge.
As a rule, do not count on too much.The Snapdragon 600's GPU is around 70GFLOPS, which is minimally compared to even the slowest cards on the market.
Even though it’s possible that it will be possible to use it.

The application I will be free of course.
If this application comes out and Super Mario Galaxy only runs 3FPS ​​though.
