dolphin VS melonDS

Dolphin ships with a bunch of keys in the source code[0]. So do almost every other emulators for any console from 6/7th gen consoles (ps3, xbox360, gamecube), see delroth's post on the matter here[1]. It's really not that simple - jurisdiction matters a lot, and also Nintendo's own priorities.

GameCube/Wii: Dolphin is the best GameCube/Wii emulator in my opinion: Download Dolphin

Dolphin has actually had this for their macOS builds for over a year now.

Though these consoles did not support stereoscopy originally, the Dolphin emulator can add it and output SBS. My experience was a bit mixed. Your mileage may vary.

You install Dolphin emulator, go into settings and make a folder for your games where it says "directory", and then you just stick your game in the folder. That's pretty much all there is to it, that's why I think Dolphin is the best emulator.

Platform: Gamecube. The remaster scrapped the local co-op entirely (booo). This one is a bit tricky but works perfectly once setup properly in Dolphin.

Nintendo DS Emulator (Pokemon, Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger etc.)

We used this version of MelonDS, which has experimental LAN capabilities and IT WORKS!

Use MelonDS instead, it's the most recommended DS emulator.

You mean emulators running on PC? It took some doing, but I finally got DS Download Play to work on MelonDS. First you need to get DS firmware files. I found one on Retrostic that did not work for me. Melon told me it was an old hacked dump, and trying to boot it just got me a white screen. I found another on the Internet Archive that works.

MelonDS is actually doing a lot of really cool stuff. I can't speak too much on the Android build, but on PC they have actually gotten multiplayer too work flawlessly and they are currently working on implementing netplay. You can keep up with their progress here

no, you can use mGBA for GBA games, and MelonDS for NDS games

If you are on Windows you will need to install MSYS2 and this will make the process easier (which is why that's how they build it like that). Once installed open it and do: - pacman -S git (update git in MSYS2 with pacman) and then build the standalone execultable - git clone https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS (clone inside the MSYS2 environment) - cd melonDS go into the folder and copy paste the last commands in the Static Builds section a few lines bellow

DeSmuME or melonDS for PC. Those are the two best ones out there. Mobile devices have nothing good at the moment, though.

- I followed the step of the melonDS Github under "Linux" for archlinux : https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS
