Dolphin 5.0 Release Video

After a very long wait and too many delays, we're proud to announce Dolphin 5.0 with this release video!
Check out the full release at our website, dolphin-emu.org
Special Thanks to Sage of Mirrors and LordNed for assistance in hacking Wind Waker for the intro. Also special thanks to all the people who helped review the video over the year and half since it started production. And of course, without the amazing developers behind Dolphin, there wouldn't have been anything to show. I'd also like to thank Nintendo, and everyone who developed the wonderful games that make up the library of the GameCube and Wii!

Shoutouts to our Rito homeboy Quill for spreading the news of Dolphin 5.0 to that oblivious pirate and her gnarly crew.

[@ShanePatSmith]

This was more exciting than 90% of what was shown at E3

[@Birmanncat]

So much YES

[@oussama7132]

the 10% is the new zelda right?

[@ShiroKage009]

Exciting things at E3: AMD's hardware, Zelda BotW, Death Stranding, and maybe the Setsuna game? For me, that's it.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

MrJimbo1qaz, you do realize the probability of experiencing bugs and issues is greater when using the dev builds, right? Only those that can stand having their game session interrupted with a bug and have the know how on how to report the problem should use the dev builds.

[@lostintranslation76]

That one year was mostly used to squash bugs in the dev builds to allow for a stable 5.0 release. So - while I do use dev releases they are definitely not for everyone and I will use 5.0 for the next months now.

[@clivetargaryen5014]

Awesome job man, a very creative!

[@nazek4216]

Dolphin is now the definitive GameCube experience. It's better than the actual console in every way.

[@MaoRatto]

Not the controller!

[@nazek4216]

Quinn The Quartz Actually, with Direct Connect, you can use an official or off-brand Wii U adapter with Dolphin to connect up to four standard GameCube controllers with no latency.

[@KingHalbatorix]

+Nazek42 "no latency" ಠ_ಠ

[@nazek4216]

KingHalbatorix no more latency than a real GCN*

[@LeeDaniel001]

Of course it is. It was built on a PC with PC graphics. Almost every emulator is better than the console, because the PC has better graphics and processing power.

[@CogniVision]

When a game upscaled in an emulator looks better than a HD remaster.

[@johanliebertofficial8750]

[@frankymanky322]

@CogniVision I know right. Nintendo needs to step their game up.

have you tried the psp version on the psp emulator? that version suppose to be good. its the Saturn version that had maria in it.

Release 6.0 isn't meant to be rushed.

[@staringcorgi6475]

6.0 don’t need to be released as the emulator is greater than console for 98% of games besides not being able to play ctgp online although there’s other mkwii mods playable

[@purplequi9962]

At 2.0ghz, I couldn't even run Mario Sunshine at 30fps, the highest I got was 23. Somehow, the guys behind Dolphin improved on it so much that I can get 60fps on the same settings. I have no idea how. (I'm using a laptop, too.)

[@purplequi9962]

PC specs: AMD A6-5200 APU @ 2.0gHz AMD Radeon R3-8400 Graphics @ 600 something or 700 something mHz 8GB RAM @ 1.33gHz

But emulators aren't illegal.

[@BM03]

What *everybody* knows is that 99% of statistics that state 99% are absolute bullshit. And emulators are not illegal dumbass, they aren't even illegal stupid. Hell, they aren't even plain illegal.

[@fanmadeendings]

Emulators are not illegal. Piracy is illegal. Yes, many people using emulators use it for piracy, but that doesn't make the software illegal.

[@linkganonmix]

***** Don't be stupid. Honestly, even I have a gamecube emulator with melee on it. But I also have a physical copy of melee so what I am doing is completely legal. So be quiet, okay?

[@fanmadeendings]

Kwinston X Smash Did you download that copy and the uploader had no permission to upload it? Then it is illegal, even if you do own the actual copy. If you made the dump yourself, it depends on your region, in some countries that is illegal because you would need to bypass the copy protection.

[@ToastbackWhale]

Phenomenal video presentation and software :D Thanks for all the effort. What's with the Pokémon Snap clip, though?

[@TigerSlashX]

They're showing the fixed audio. No title audio in 4.0.

[@Gryzeus]

+TigerSlashX Thanks. Just researched - I had no idea that Dolphin emulated N64 virtual console games! Cool. And it looks like it runs Snap more accurately than all the N64 emus I've used that don't register the names of Pokémon when you shoot them - Dolphin does.

[@bright_minary6537]

+Grizeus It doesn't. While dolphin emulates the software (virtual console wad, here) but the underlying software(N64 emulator developed by Nintendo) is shittier than other emulators...

[@Gryzeus]

+윤여민 Yeah, tried it out. It is generally shittier. But with Pokémon Snap, there's been a glitch with all the emus I've used where it won't register the names of Pokémon in camera, which makes it impossible to unlock the final level normally.

[@ddnava96]

couldn't wait for the release of Dolphin 6.0

[@drip3434]

What?!? It's been 5 years since the last release!?

[@Valery0p5]

Good joob! but you didnt remember the best part:ANDROID SUPPOOOOORT!!!

[@dolphinemuorg]

The release process skipped Android. It was not part of the feature freeze and was not stabilized for release. Devices aren't there yet, and the AArch64JIT isn't quite up to the standards of the x86-64 JIT. Android will continue to be updated alongside dev builds, so it's not like it's abandoned or left behind. It's just more beneficial to let it continue to developer rather than freezing it in an incomplete state for release.

[@Valery0p5]

+Dolphin Emulator wow, tanks for the answer! I understand the problems, but is very sad that no one knows the android version... Put a link to download the bulids in the playstore isn't a good idea? (sorry for my bad english)

[@CraftNeui]

In the download-page, in the section "Development versions", you find the current state of Dolphin and there you'll find the Android APK.

[@Valery0p5]

+CraftNeui I know, but A LOT of pepole dosen't use thinvs that aren't in the playstore...

[@dolphinemuorg]

Most people wouldn't want Dolphin on Android. It's only really useful to developers and enthusiasts right now.

[@SirMalorak]

Wait, Dolphin can play N64 games? How did I not know this? Also it can play POKEMON PUZZLE LEAGUE!? Fuck yeah the world's just become a better place

[@hypeknight8256]

It doesn't emulate straight up N64 games that you play on an N64 emulator. It plays the virtual console versions that are downloaded onto the Wii. So the only N64 games it can play are the ones that were ported.

[@dolphinemuorg]

Any game released for the Wii Virtual Console should be able to run in Dolphin. This includes NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, Master System, TurboGrafx-16, Neo Geo, and Commodore 64

[@SirMalorak]

Dolphin Emulator Interesting - how would I get those to run on Dolphin? I can't just use straight up ROM's from N64 or something I imagine?

[@hypeknight8256]

The correct way would be to dump them straight from your Wii, but I'm willing to bet Google would be a nice searching companion if you haven't bought those games yet. When dumped/downloaded, they usually come in a file type called .wad and you open them up on Dolphin the same way you open a .iso file.

[@SirMalorak]

Cedric Bautista Awesome, thanks. I mainly wanna emulate games I do own but play it multiplayer.

Not until its a few years old. Its to new to start emulating yet considering Nintendo is still actively selling games for it.

Yeah, I remember running into first a really laggy glitch with the paper effects, then some other crash bug I had to hunt down a previous version for that was really common. Hope they fixed that... hm, I should look at my old comments on their forum so I can double-check where it was...

[@Xunkun]

Hot shit, fixed exactly the problem. Gonna dick around in TTYD epilogue chapter to double-check. Laters!

[@greenyoshi119]

Xuncu lol gl with that, the new version fixed a lot of my lag issues, and the only time it's really bad now is during those paper effects, where it will go from 100% speed to like 40%, its weird lol

[@Xunkun]

greenyoshi119 Well, even with an earlier build, there were a few setting you can do. One was a graphics setting, I think the default is Graphics backend from OpenGL to your graphics card-- except I had to switch back if I wanted to use those two fortune tellers in the Underground. Also, my PC is pretty beef, despite being from 2008, it's a 2008 with an *i7* (first gen): all I had to do recently was buy a ~$100 graphics card, I can play _XCOM 2_ on high settings with NO LAG.

[@b00marrows]

So this is the point where you start asking "what does it NOT do?"

[@theprophet2444]

you guys did an amazing job with this emulator, I have no clue how you got that far but well it is at a stage where you can say it works almost as well as PJ64 with N64 games and that's something indeed :)

[@MrDeadSignal]

Games like Baldur's Gate and Star Wars Rogue Squadron still seem to have their faults, but they're playable now. This breakthrough and updates you have gone through is absolutely fantastic! This might be a free project but you and what team you have deserve all the support you could get for such works. Keep it up, before we know it one day we'll be playing these games flawlessly! My GameCube died 10+ years ago and it warms my heart to see these old familiar things back to life and functional as you've done it.

Fuck it. I'm downloading Dolphin. I can live with the guilt of not supporting the developers.

[@ramblr8161]

Intergalactic Human Empire They're not making dick off most of these games anymore anyway, so you're technically you're not either way XD

[@tkt2088]

Thank you Dolphin team for an amazing work to bring back nostalgia

[@TheHolyPancake]

Thank you so much for all you guy at the dolphin team do, all your effort really makes me emotional, you're doing god's work here! thank you again so much

[@ivansotelo4622]

5 years later...still no 6.0

[@Sleetui]

History is made here ladies and gents.

[@jippalippa]

You are gods, fellas. awesome work! I'm speachless

[@HAV0X_]

I rember watching this 2 years ago. It was great.

[@Mallerd]

This is why i love the dolphin emulator guys

[@killertruth186]

Although, I am having a hard time to get it properly set up.

[@idiotpeople1115]

Please update 6.0!!!

[@maaaguz]

MASTERPIECE!! You guys push emulation to the top, one can feel how you guys love the gamecube/wii games generation...I am still overwhelmed seeing emulation can bring so much more out of older games than original consoles ever could....thanks for this experience

[@JordanN_Dev]

I'm so incredibly impressed by the people who developed this project. I can't imagine how much work it takes to program a emulator that runs so well.

[@Draycko]

Would it be right to assume that my Mayflash Sensor-bar will work with this (awesome) update? Also, if it isn't too much to ask: What were the specs of the computer(s?) you used to "grab" the in-game footage shown in this trailer? Edit: Oh! Almost forgot... Thanks for all your hardwork,!

[@dolphinemuorg]

Footage was mostly grabbed on a Core i5-3570K CPU. Mayflash DolphinBar does work in 5.0.

[@Draycko]

Dolphin Emulator Core i5 CPU without a dedicated GPU? Impressive.

[@Draycko]

Dolphin Emulator Also, good to know. I do love my Mayflash. Will update as soon as I am able. Thanks, mate!

[@drag096]

What PC was used to run all of that? Meaning, the specs.

[@Birmanncat]

I have i5 and geforce 760, can play majority of games at fullspeed@1080p

[@formerlycringe]

just get an i5, Sandy Bridge... Nehlaem...

[@CMSonYT]

the highest clockspeed you can get on the latest arch you can get. assume every new arch is at least 5 to 10% faster.

[@TheDog7118]

low as AMD A8-6410 cpu with 800 passmark

I have a pretty weak Intel Pentium G860, 8GB RAM and a GTX 750 OC videocard, and what I tested all ran really well in 1080p. But even with my old HD 2600XT, some games were playable.

[@martinrizo4825]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@marikoth]

OMG THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! I'M REALLY GLAD YOU GUYS TOOK YOUR TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! 😀👏👏👏

[@jessesorenson4161]

3:06 Hell in a nutshell.

[@EddieStriked]

Will you add support for WiiU later? Dolphin is my favourite dev team, would love to see this!

[@Chrizzlify]

would be nice if they could put their projects together

[@Chrizzlify]

+JaysonSR but wouldnt it be possible to just execute their code when launching a wii u to have those games in one program? :p

[@MRL8770]

Well, Wii U stll uses the same architecture and has a set of same/similar features, which make it possible to play Wii/GC games on it, so maybe it's not really that different, but don't take my words too seriously, sinse I don't know much about it.

[@marekvrbka]

Actually no, the Wii U CPU is pretty much Wii with more cores and higher clock speed, the GPU is also just newer.

[@iNexXxuS]

really great to see how much progress has been made on the emulator. well done to all the current Devs. it's been a long process but the results are amazing :D

[@Westchemes]

I first found out about Dolphin Emulator about half a year ago and I thought it was too good to be true, well I just recently downloaded it and got a couple games that I played as kid. Man was I surprised when it actually worked and the games look great! Keep up the great work Dolphin Emulator its amazing!
