This past October, Dolphin turned 20 years old since its initial release to the public as an experimental GameCube emulator. It's been a long ride, with twists and turns. I don't know if anyone back in 2003 expected Dolphin not only to still be under active development 20 years later, but to also support the GameCube's successor in the Wii.
You might be wondering, where is all the pageantry? The honest truth is that things aren't ready yet. We have a few massive changes on the horizon that we wanted to be ready for the 20th anniversary, but that date was not an excuse to release something in a broken and incomplete state. For now, development will continue as normal, but we promise that there is some excitement to be had on the horizon.
In the meantime, we have some great changes for you this in Dolphin Progress Report!
Ese emulador es le que más cariño revive por parte de los devs. Funciona en todas las plataformas, incluso en Xbox.
Muchos de los que le han puesto cariño a dolphin fueron a citra, y después a yuzu, y se nota harto en la interfaz que tiene y en los mismos reportes que producen. Otro (stenzek) se movió más al psx (duckstation) y ps2 (aetherps2, pcsx2). También se nota la influencia, especialmente en duckstation.
Aparte de MAME, Dolphin debe ser el proyecto estrella de la emulación FOSS. Es muy buena la organización que tienen.
