Dolphin: Gamecube, Wii, and Triforce emulator for your favorite console games

Dolphin is a Gamecube, Wii, and Triforce emulator that lets users play their favorite console games directly on a Windows machine.

While the configuration menu which sets up the application might be pretty difficult for beginners, the user interface on the other hand is user-friendly and pretty straightforward.

The main thing about this type of software is the efficiency, and many similar tools fail on that matter. A lot of testing was done and while it worked with some games, many titles didn't load at all.
Dolphin comes with multiple configs. screens concerning not only the main application but also the graphics, DSP, Gamecube Pad, and the Wiimote.

It has Xbox 360 controller support, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, memory viewer and dumper, WAD support, memory card manager, and replay simulator.

The main configuration menu allows you to enable dual-core support, cheats, idle skipping, also to juggle with CPU emulators engine settings, such as JIT recompiler, JitIL experimental recompiler, and Interpreter.

The bad thing about the application is that it doesn't offer much help, like a tutorial or even a help file, which explains how to use it, and clicking on the "Help" menu, only takes you to the official developer page.

Still, Dolphin is and will remain one of the most affecting Wii and Gamecube emulators. A small tutorial would be much appreciated for all the beginners out there.
