Revision 7607 of Dolphin, the ever-improving Wii and Gamecube emulator for Windows PC

The Dolphin Dev team has released a new version of their Dolphin emulator, bringing a new slew of fixes and improvements.

Changelogs:

• revision 7607:
  • If hardware fails to initialize when emulation starts, die gracefully.  This should fix issue 4602.
  • Also don't try to save and load states when the emulator is not running.  This should fix most of issu 4600.
• revision 7606:
  • On linux don't check to see if the xdg-screensaver program is present at build time.  Just build in the code to call the program.  If the program does not exist it will silently fail, and the screensaver will not be inhibited.
• revision 7605:
  • Properly enable audio backend changes. Fixes issue 4601.
• revision 7604:
  • Properly destroy cheat manager window when closed. Fixes issue 4595.

Developer's note:

Dolphin is a Gamecube and Wii emulator. Most games run perfectly or with minor bugs. Games are playable at HD quality, up to 1080p. This is a remarkable feature the actualGamecube and Wii consoles are not capable of. As an open source project everyone can commit improvements. The code is hosted on code.google.com. Dolphin is actively developed and almost every day new features are added and bugs fixed as well.

System Requirements

• Windows XP or higher, or Linux, or MacOSX Intel.
• Fast modern CPU with SSE2. Dual core for a speed boost.
• Any reasonable modern GPU with Pixel Shader 2.0 or greater. nVidia or ATI are good. Older integrated Intel chips may not work, newer ones should work fine.
• For more information, see http://forums.dolphin-emu.com/thread-4.html

• Gamecube Game Disc
