Can I use my PS3 wireless controller to play Dolphin?
Yes you can. Install MotioninJoy to make Windows recognize the PS3 controller as a bluetooth device. Now you can use it in Dolphin within the GCPad and Wiimote configuration.
The second GC Pad is not working
Go to 'Configuration' -> 'Gamecube' and make sure 'Port 2' is set to 'Standard Controller'.
Can I use more than 3 CPU cores to make Dolphin faster?
Sorry, that's not possible.
![]() Some games run very slow
Do not expect to get high FPS in all games, Dolphin is still in development and needs a fast CPU (recommended: at least 2 GHz). Try enabling Dual Core to speed it up.
Audio doesn't work properly
Not all games have correct working audio yet, it's still in development.
The game fails to boot
Not all games are compatible in Dolphin yet, you will have to wait for a fix.
How do I know if my system supports Dolphin?
Your CPU needs to support SSE2, Pixel Shader 2.0 running Windows XP or higher. You can use CPU-Z and GPU-Z to get informations about your system.
What is the difference between x86 and x64?
x86 is 32bit and x64 is 64bit. The x64 version will ONLY run on a 64 bit OS. The 64 bit version of Dolphin has faster emulation speed than the x86 version.
The Gamespeed is too fast
Some games like New Super Mario Bros or Super Smash Brothers Brawl run too fast on modern Systems. There are two ways to slow the Gamespeed down to normal:
If that doesn't help you can also try to enable other settings like 'V-Sync' or '16x anisotropy filtering'.
How can I play in 720p or 1080p?![]()
If you want to play in 720p go to 'Graphics -> Direct3D' and change the Window Size to 1280x720. For 1080p simply choose 1920x1080.
Why is the Wiimote except the Home-Button not working in some Games?
Go to 'Config' -> 'Gamecube' and set 'Port 1' to 'Nothing'. Now the Wiimote should work fine. Some games like Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 or Sonic Riders Zero Gravity require this.
How to dump a Wii or Gamecube game?
Download Rawdump 2.1 and insert your Game DVD into your DVD Drive. Press 'Start Dump'. This may take a while. The game will be saved as a .wii or .wod file. After the dump has finished, press 'Convert raw to .iso' and you are done. Open the .iso file with Dolphin and have fun.
The following DVD Drives are not supported to dump Wii or Gamecube Games:
SONY DVD RW DW-G120A,NEC/SONY Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173A,Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200A,TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D163B,TSSTcorpDVD-ROM SH-D163BSB00,TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-W162L,TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-H653B FS01,TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D162C,OFOD SHMBO5U381,Pioneer dvd-rw DR-TD08HB,ATAPI DVD A DH16AASH SA15,ATAPI DVD A DH20A65 7P56,ATAPI DVD A DH20A4P 95P9,LG HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CH08LS10,TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223Q,HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4082N,TSSTcorpCDRWDVD TS-H493BD200,HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22LP20.

Dolphin is a dual core application that relies upon IPC (Instructions Per Clock) and clockspeed for performance. Additional cores will not make Dolphin go any faster, though an 'extra' core that Dolphin isn’t using may help slightly by keeping background tasks from using the same cores as Dolphin.
Accordingly, the perfect CPU for Dolphin has high IPC, a high clock rate, and four cores or more. With four cores, Dolphin has two cores for the main emulation threads, a third core for other tasks, and another core for the operating system and background tasks to run without taking resources from the emulator.
For more details, such as specific CPU recommendations, CPU comparisons, or what hardware you should purchase to get playable speeds on a specific game, please ask on our Hardware Forumbefore purchasing.
Note: For more information regarding CPU performance, please check out this handy benchmark that contains results from tons of users. It's important to remember that Dolphin is a console emulator with tons of optimizations and features. But, in the end, it does what the game instructs it to do. Some games only use features that are easy to emulate, and thus will run full-speed on just about any computer that supports Dolphin. Meanwhile, others struggle to run full speed at all times on even the most powerful of processors.
