An arcade system board developed in a joint partnership between the three powerhouses Namco, Sega, and Nintendo, the Triforce used the GameCube hardware as the heart of many arcade games. However, many people don't know that there is yet another console based on the GameCube, one which Dolphin has emulated - the Triforce.
All of our readers are probably familiar with this. But, when the Wii was released and it was discovered to have hardware almost identical to its older sibling, Dolphin naturally evolved into a GameCube and Wii emulator. It started solely as a GameCube emulator, focused only on the one console. It was first developed as closed source in 2003, and as open source since 2008.ĭolphin allows PC gamers to enjoy games for these two consoles in full HD (1080p) with several enhancements: compatibility with all PC controllers, turbo speed, networked multiplayer, and even more! It is highly compatible with the majority of titles for both platforms. Dolphin is an emulator for two recent Nintendo video game consoles: the GameCube and the Wii.
