Is Dolphin the most successful emulator?

>Open source happens
>Dolphin grows into a full-fledged Gamecube/Wii emulator with Virtual Console support
>drops a lot of plugin support to focus on accuracy
>grows more

It caught up with Nintendo. Meanwhile those with focus on much older emulators are very slow and dying, for obvious reasons.

I thought this video was good, showing different versions of Dolphin and demonstrating the improvements.

Can it do more than Wii and gamecube? I'd like to run a DS emu but dolphin is really reliable

Desmume supports a lot of games and you should check it out. DS support is iffy.

The main problem with emulators is the disconnection with it's users, who provide the support needed to gain more attraction to more developers. If your software is iffy to use and it or relies too much on plugins to function (Project64, for instance), you end up missing out

Also I wonder why an emulator isn't one the projects people on /g/ want to work on.

/g/ only knows how to make logos.

Cause emulators are complicated.

Thus the need for more developers. Most people can't work on Project64 and most people don't want to work on something as broken as zsnes (which is written in assembly). It's just another level beyond "making emulators are hard" that also gets in the way. But when I see something like higan come around in this day and age I'm pretty happy, so there is hope in the emulation scene.

>>56271651
Snes9x and bsnes are better, why would you bother working on zsnes besides the nice interface?
>>
>>56271695
zsnes is obsolete, you'd only even consider it if you were still, for some unjustifiable reason, using a pentium 133 or something
>>
>>56271717
A current era Pentium cant even run higan so I see a purpose for zsnes somewhere in this world
