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.

★★★★★ MR. DANIELS · Aug 22, 2026

Please add controller rotation edit for some games that use wii remote sideway, thanks

★☆☆☆☆ Brendon greeathouse · Jul 14, 2026

Roms disappear and won't redownload, it's extremely infuriating! I was halfway through beating twilight, suffered through the lag fields for my game to disappear and not even reinstall I've tried every fix, you need to fix your emulator till then it doesn't deserve a cent. And I truly don't get it, Mario Kart was fairly smooth and worked well why can't all the roms compatible with your emulator run well?

★★☆☆☆ 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 · Jul 8, 2026

Slanders Portal is bugged, and I looked it up apparently it's a well known issue that the mobile version of Dolphin playing Slanders games and swapping them out crashes the games but still hasn't been fixed yet. I managed to play for a bit and swapping them out fine I have no idea how but was insanely happy and now tried playing, and it's crashing again. Please a fix would be greatly appreciated, apparently not the only one who wants to play some Slanders on their phone!
