Dolphin Emulator Can Finally Boot Every Single GameCube Game

The GameCube, possibly the greatest console ever made, now has its full library playable via the Dolphin emulator. I think F-Zero GX holds up the best, but Super Mario Sunshine always has a soft spot in my heart as the most underrated Mario game.

Dolphin can now boot every single game which took devs over a decade to pull off.

The vast majority of GameCube titles have been playable on a PC via Dolphin for years.

In a very lengthy and detailed blog post from two of Dolphin’s core coders, JMC47 and MaJoR write that some games were coded with individual quirks that can take time to account for and get running.

This gist of it, though, is that in their attempts to get The Clone Wars to run properly, the Dolphin emulator is now far more accurate and crashes far less often with normal GameCube games.

You may have heard of Dolphin before – it’s been around for years, and has steadily grown to support nearly every title in the GameCube (and later, Wii) library. For those anxious that Dolphin will end up going the way of the Pokemon Uranium project Nintendo shut down earlier this summer, it’s worth mentioning that Dolphin has been around for over a decade and Nintendo hasn’t managed to find a way to shut it down up to this point.

The famous Dolphin emulator is now the ultimate and most complete GameCube experience, even more so than the actual console itself!

Right now, there’s no way to buy GameCube software digitally and play on Wii U – although the original Wii offered GameCube backwards compatibility.
