The engineering that goes into these emulators is pure insanity

Thank God for people like that. What a smart passionate person

After watching this video, I never complained about some nuanced issues with emulators. lol

Congratulations to all the Dolphin contributators, I loved playing Metroid Prime on your emu!

How many other emulators have achieved the same? Seems pretty impressive.

bsnes/ares, Flycast, Mesen, and I think BigPEmu all have 100% compatibility with all released games.

Also Dolphin themselves achieved 100% Gamecube playability a while ago AFAIR.

And yeah. It is very impressive.

Unfortunately not. They have everything capable of booting to at least something, but not everything is playable.

Official site says 3 still aren't at that level yet.

I could only find Wii u menu that doesn't work because it's not a Wii u emulator in the broken category
