Dolphin Progress July and August 2022

The Dolphin updates make me wish that some of those enthusiastic devs would pivot their amazing talents to a Switch emulator.<p>Some exist, but I have to say Dolphin just hits different. There is a shocking amount of enthusiasm for that project and that gaming era.

Always loving to read the progress updates on the Dolphin project. Fun to see such technical difficulties being solved and explained how they did it.<p>As a macOS M1 owner the Metal support especially will be awesome, it&#x27;s interesting to see also that the OpenGL implementation vs Metal has a clear 10 fps difference in some of the benchmark data both on macOS and Windows.<p>Not many projects that have both and OpenGL and Metal implementation, comparing those two is interesting.

1) Dolphins updates are always a pleasure to read.<p>2) Mario Kart Double Dash plays flawless for me. Older releases had some video jitter and audio lag.<p>This is such a well managed labour of love.

Network play between a Wii, Gamecube and emulator, crazy.

I tried this recently on an M1 powered Mac. I was blown away with how well it handled playback and upscaling. Gives me hope for the future of these old games as disc rot takes over.
