Here's the latest build of the the Dolphin emulator, the ever-improving Wii and Gamecube emulator for Windows PC.

Changelog:

• On linux use the current desktop resolution for the default fullscreen resolution, instead of the hard coded 640x480 resolution.
• Also if the OpenGL backend throw a panic alert if the RGB to/from YUYV shaders fail to compile instead of an error log. If these shaders fail to compile it should be reported. I am not sure that a panic alert should be thrown in general when any shader fails to compile (as was discussed on IRC).

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

• To start in debug mode, pass /d (or -d) on the command line.
