Dolphin Emulator is a powerful Nintendo Wii and GameCube emulator, completely free and open source, which allows you to enjoy almost the entire catalog for these two consoles on Android devices. Like the versions for desktop computers (Windows, Linux, and Mac), the emulator will allow you to enjoy many improvements, both graphically and in terms of general features.

One of the most striking improvements of Dolphin Emulator is its wide range of resolutions. Depending on the size and density of your device's screen, you can enjoy resolutions ranging from 720p to 2K or even 4K. The emulator also offers many graphic configuration options that will allow you to customize and improve your experience: V-Sync, Shaders, Anti-Aliasing, post-processing effects, and so on. All this means, in short, that you will be able to enjoy your games as they looked on their original consoles, but you will also be able to improve them to make them look much better. The decision, in the end, is yours.

Configuring the visuals of Dolphin Emulator is a relatively simple process, but it can be quite time-consuming if you want to get the most out of your Android device. The good thing? The emulator is so scalable and offers so many options that, regardless of your terminal, you will most likely be able to play almost all GameCube or Wii titles. With a high-end device, you will get higher resolutions and better performance, but even with mid-range devices, you can run games at some of the more modest resolutions.

Once you have finished configuring the Dolphin Emulator graphics, you should ideally spend a few minutes configuring the gamepads and other devices. As expected, you can use your Xbox or Playstation controllers to comfortably play any GameCube game or Wii game that uses the traditional controller. For games that require the use of the Wii Remote, simply use the touch controls of the Android device itself.

Back in the day, playing with friends on the same console was the only way to share the experience, but thanks to Dolphin Emulator you can now also do it over the Internet. Thanks to the Netplay function, you can play any GameCube or Wii title with your friends, even if everyone is in their own home or even on the subway. The only requirements are that all players have the game in question on their list, have a high-speed Internet connection, and are using the emulator's same version. If you meet all these requirements, you can enjoy multiplayer like never before.

Dolphin Emulator is, without any doubt, the definitive emulator for Wii and GameCube. In addition, it is a project in constant development, as it has been receiving almost daily updates since its first version was released in 2003, so if a particular game does not work properly with one version, the next update may fix that particular problem. As if all this were not enough, there are many homebrew ROMs totally free, which you can play legally without any problems.

I would give five stars, but since this emulator doesn't work on my phone, I will give it one star until they fix it.
