Like almost every other emulator out there, emulation isn’t going to be perfect for every single game. This option can be accessed in “Emulation” and the two options on the button of the menu, but only when a game is actually running. To load a state, just hit F1-F8 to load a respective save state.

To save a state, use Shift+ (each F key between 1 and 8 is it’s own save slot). When you are done playing, you can use the stop button on the first screen. You can use controls from the first emulation screen to affect the game. This will open a separate window for the game itself. It seems that, by default, Dolphin does not read sub-directories.įrom there, you can either double-click on a game in your emulator to start it or click on a game and press the play button in the tool bar to start it. If the ISOs still do not appear, make sure the ISOs are not in their own directories. If you do not see ISOs appearing, click on the “Refresh” button to refresh the list. For that, simply click on the “File” drop-down menu and click on “Browse for ISOs…”įrom there, just browse to your ISO directory and choose that directory by clicking on it and pressing “OK”. The next thing we need to do is point the emulator to your ISO folder.

When you are done, click on the “OK” button. Some games will be easier to play with a different configuration and you may need to create multiple profiles meant for different kinds of games.

When done, type in the name of this particular configuration under profile and click Save. To change a key, simply click on a button and type in the button that you want for that particular button on your virtual controller. For that, we can simply click on the GCPad on the toolbar. The first thing we need to do is configure our Gamecube controls. Next, create a folder that will house all of the CD images of the games you have. I personally chose to create a shortcut to the executable for the emulator, but this is optional. Once you create a folder, go into this folder. After this, find a convenient place on your hard drive for all your Gamecube needs and create a folder for it. Once downloaded, run the executable to install the emulator. We note that this emulator is available across many platforms, but the main platform is Windows as the other stable ports seem to be a version or two behind the latest version. For that, we can go to the Dolphin emulator website and download it from the downloads page. The first thing we need is the Dolphin emulator. In this guide, we show you how you can play these games on your computer using the Dolphin emulator. The console would be a platform that improved the graphics of 3D games overall – a concept that became the norm just one system generation ago. The Nintendo Gamecube is the successor to the hugely successful Nintendo 64.
