Comments on Dolphin Emulator for Android

★★★★★ bill miller · Jul 10, 2026
Ok runs game cube beautifully. But the one game I love is Fatal Frame for the Wii. It now plays ally Wii games. I love this emulator now highly recommend.
★★★★☆ Augustus · Jul 19, 2026
Overall dolphin is a great emulator for playing older Game Cube and Wii games. The UI is quick and easy, and seems to perform quite well on my pixel 9. However, some games can be hit-and-miss on mobile and will randomly crash. Like Paper mario for example.
★★★★★ Prince Katala · Jul 4, 2026
I have evofox one s gaming controller, and it is not taking any input from it. I want to play games you have to play through the touch controls of your mobile screen. So annoying that it is not taking any other controller inputs rather than just wii controller. Plz fix this asap.
★★☆☆☆ Wayne Hackney Jr · Aug 6, 2026
I'm trying to play the Game Cube, and it keeps own saying dolphin has quit working wait or close app and IT Won't STOP DOING IT
★★☆☆☆ BZking24 · Jun 27, 2026
Slanders Portal is a little bugged which is what I'm using the mobile version of Dolphin for. A fix is greatly appreciated, just want to change my Slanders that are already saved without the Emulator closing. I have some characters saved but can't use them again without the app closing the game, I want to swap between the ones I have saved without the game closing because if I can't then stick to 1 Sky lander and that's no fun. Again a fix would be awesome please
★★☆☆☆ 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.

Fix your IR controller it appears once and it disappears afterward
