It's probably one of the highest quality emulators out there. For example it is fully compatible with the Gamecube and Wii controllers using your computer's Bluetooth. They've reached a level where the console can even access the Wii Online community and appears to Nintendo's servers as a legitimate Wii (you still need to grab the encrytped blobs from your console though).

To all intents and purposes they've completely emulated a Gamecube and Wii and then gone many steps further in improving audio and graphics (original Wii is capped at 480p - Dolphin can go to 4K or beyond with visuals rivalling even the new Nintendo switch).



How does the quality of Dolphin compare to the PS2 emulator (pcsx2)? I looked a their website and it seems they follow the same style of reports.


I'm not interested on the ps2 so I don't know about the current status of its emulation, but this is what neobrain(author and contributor of a lot of emulators) thinks about its management: https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/2ttbdk/play_the_...

Another reason dolphin blog reports are so important is because they inform the community about progress and why decisions were made, that makes it looks more friendly, open and democratic
