Comments on Dolphin Emulator for Android

★★★★☆ ashyron Tonkins · Sep 4, 2026
Great app one thing though can you reprogram some games to have classic controls I don't know how hard it is to program a game with motion controls to classic controls but some games would just be a lot simpler with classic controls like Spider-Man Web of shadows I'm sure you can find a way to like put it to classic controller by looking at the Xbox 360 version or the PS3 same for other games if they have a PS3 or Xbox Port can you put the controls into classic controller please and thank you
★★★★★ Afroz alam Afroz · Aug 21, 2026
Dolphin is good to go for game cube wii games but you minimum snapdragon 870 and 888/ exynos 2100 for 4k resolution playing
★★★★★ Kiyan Fouladvand · Sep 25, 2026
Please optimize this emulator for exynos processors thank you I hope you do this but in some games is good
★★☆☆☆ Nona Tea · Sep 5, 2026
I don't have a costume GPU in my settings... :(which makes my game experience impossible, PPSSPP runs perfect on my Poco x7 pro even without downloading GPU. Please I want to experience nostalgia again. Can we have something for that cause in the near future?
★★☆☆☆ Tristan Caton · Sep 26, 2026
Nonstop controller issues. D pad doesn't work in any games for no reason even though it's set to the same command as hitting left on the stick for example. Then when I reset the layout it unmapped all buttons and refused to save the new commands at all. Then I update, and it replaces my rom folder entirely with an empty one. So now I have no installed games, and apparently it empties my original rom folders when it installs them. Thanks. Great.
★☆☆☆☆ Durgesh Mahajan · Sep 10, 2026
This emulator is not really convert rvz ot iso file it's only give there format and expand size if, flie convert iso our game work sooth
★★☆☆☆ deydey barbarona · Aug 13, 2026
Dolphin is a really good emulator, but the touch overlay doesn't save button locations per game. Adjusting buttons to play one game comfortably ruins the layout for other games. Switching games constantly forces me to manually drag and rearrange my buttons all over again from scratch. Please fix the Android app so custom touchscreen layouts save strictly to individual game IDs instead of forcing one global placement. I am going to rate it 2 stars for now.
★☆☆☆☆ Sarnava Ghosh · Aug 14, 2026
Worst application. I can't play any wii games it gives me black screen please play store if you read this deletes the game from play store.
★☆☆☆☆ Ben · Sep 21, 2026
Always has artifact issues on adreno devices works perfect but slow on mali devices
