[Dolphin Sounds] Dolphin is an emulator for the two recent Nintendo video game consoles, The GameCube and the Wii. It allows you to play all of these games from the comfort of your PC. However, it is a little tricky to set up, but that's why I'm here. I'm OqulYildiz, and I'll be guiding you today to install the Dolphin Emulator. To begin, go to dolphin-emu.org to reach the official Dolphin Emulator Website. This is the official website, and I can only recommend downloading the emulator from this specific site. To continue, click the big blue download button in the middle of the screen. This will take you to the download page. Then you have your first two options. Either you can download a development build or a stable build. You can try the most recent build, however, there may be some glitches that can ruin your experience... or it could be better. But I personally use the most recent stable build. Which at the time of making this video is Dolphin 5.0. Click the download button that your system needs, if you are on Windows, select the Window x64 option. You want to save this file anywhere on your computer, then open the .exe when it's downloaded. Essentially say yes to any prompts. I agree. Next. Select a location where you want dolphin to install to. And finally, click install. After you extract all of the files, you are finished, You have installed the Dolphin Emulator. To open it, there will be a shortcut on your desktop now, or you can go to the location where you wanted it to install and open it directly. Now you should configure the Dolphin Emulator to work how you want it to. Unless you know what you are doing, there is nothing you should change in the Config section. But, in the Graphics, you do have a few options. You can set what resolution you want the game to run on your computer. Meaning you can play Mario in 5K if you want. Although running Gamecube games is not too taxing on modern computers, if you are using an older PC you may not want to increase the resolution too much. There are some other graphical settings you may want to change, such as anti-aliasing, but I find changing these settings, result in graphical glitches in my games so I tend not to. One final setting I'll mention is that in the advanced tab, you can turn on borderless fullscreen if that is your cup of tea. Finally, you have to map your controller. You technically can play GameCube and Wii games with a keyboard only, however, I believe that a controller is a much more enjoyable experience. Nonetheless, you can adjust the buttons on your keyboard or your controller to correspond with whatever you want. For example, by default, the X key is mapped to the A button on the GameCube. So when I press the X button on my keyboard, Mario will jump! We are so close to being able to play, but now we need our games. There is a lot of gray area in this part, as the only effective way to get games is to download them off the internet. I don't think I can legally say you should pirate your games... but if you go to Google and type "Any Gamecube or Wii Game ISO" you'll find many results where you can download the game. I must warn you though, not all of these websites are too safe, and some can be very sketchy. Be sure when you are downloading the game, you click the download for the game and not on an ad. When you find the game you want to download, it is usually as simple as clicking the download button. You most likely will have to unzip the file, using a program such as 7Zip. But after when you have your game, you can just place it in a folder. Then, just follow the prompt on the Dolphin Emulator to link the folder of the games to the emulator. And there you. You have all of your GameCube or Wii games right there to play. Now we can start playing, by either double-clicking a title, or click once and select play near the top of the emulator. To make this small little game, a little more enjoyable, you can press the FullScreen button on Dolphin and it will maximize the game. One last tip I'll leave you, is that if the game ever asks you if you want to format your memory card to save your game, just select yes. And the Dolphin Emulator will automatically create a file to save your games so you can come back to it later. That brings us to the end of this tutorial. Now you can play all of your old favorite GameCube or Wii games that you used to play as a child. I'm more personally a GameCube child so, maybe you can catch me on Animal Crossing... the original one! Thanks for watching, I could have not made this video without your support, Thank you so much. Have a good one. [Dolphin Sounds]
