Comments on Dolphin Emulator for Android

★★★★★ NicholasGaming · Apr 19, 2026

Is a really good emulator. Runs amazing on samsung s24 fe edit: still an amazing emulator for game cube and wii. My only problem with it is that on my Chromebook, I can't map my keyboard keys to buttons on the controller. Other than that, I still give it 5 stars

★★★★★ LilChoncey M-W · Jun 9, 2026

This emulator is able to run GC or Wii games, System Menu (Including "Main Menu" from GC IPL or "Wii System Menu" from Wii NAND), Wii Virtual Console games (including NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and others), Wii channels (including Forecast Channel, News Channel, Mii Channel, Photo Channel, Wii Shop Channel (only works using your NAND from your own legal Wii), and others), and homebrew apps. The emulator might be slow on your low-end device, but if you have a high-end device, it makes faster speed.

★★★★★ Timothy Tremendel · Apr 20, 2026

This is the best emulator. (me), "I want to do this thing with this game" (dolphin) "okay!". Genuinely incredible, and it just works. Plus it's fairly easy to set up an external controller, or even a real Wilmot. And it's free. Spend an afternoon getting this set up with some games, and you'll never be out of something to do again.

Oh my God, I love this game there's no ads no interruptions, and I get to play all my favorite Sonic games except the good ones in the good thing is that I actually got Sonic colors working on this it's so cool because I actually wanted to play Sonic colors for so long, and now I got the chance thanks to this app I really can play all my favorite games at any time I want especially Sonic adventure 2 battle I love that game I was even able to play Sonic racing crossroads

★☆☆☆☆ Nelvin Mathew · Apr 29, 2026

It's showing but responding every time I open a game. I tried uninstalling and installing again but the problem came back after a few days. Fix this

★☆☆☆☆ carlaveronica choi · May 5, 2026
