Always a joy to read those and the fact that the emulator keeps on improving. You can run it on SteamDeck nicely and play Gamecube games better than Switch 2. It's a shame nintendo has only released about 5 games thus far.. Great work Dolphin Devs! I still need to give RetroAchievements a try.

Dolphin is one of my absolutely favorite software projects. The kind of polish they put into absolutely everything, including these announcements, is incredible. And as somebody who spent many a relaxing day playing Super Monkey Ball against my fellow comp sci students in the early 2000s, this holds a special place in my heart.

"We imagine that Nintendo chose to use actual Game Boy hardware because of the difficulty of making a general-purpose software emulator. "

Dolphin Team, you are amazing and hilarious.

Very cool update overall, great work!

> It was clear that something had to change. Bunny

When this issue was brought up in one of our chats, a former Dolphin developer suggested that we should give Bunny a try.

Another mention of bunny [0] gives them good exposure, and not just because they're an European company!

Hmm wasn't Dolphin taken down by Nintendo or something? I seem to remember being sad at the loss.

It is a Good thing "He who shall not be named" doesn't care about Gamecube games as much as the Switch or Switch 2 games.
