• revision 7646:
  • DX9: Decode paletted RAM textures on GPU.
• revision 7645:

• revision 7644:
  • Wii Save Export no longer requires anything additional to create saves that can be copied to the wii thanks to shuffle2 for the NG_id, NG_key_id, NG_priv, NG_sig from his wii

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
