Dolphin Progress Report: Release 2506

Welcome to the Dolphin Progress Report for Release 2506! As we've alluded to a few times, we've had major changes in the pipeline that we've been very excited to show off. Some of those changes are finally here! Headlining this report are major adjustments to how Dolphin handled audio lag under slowdown by default. No longer will users have to choose between high-latency audio stretching or popping when dealing with small hitches in performance thanks to the new Granule Synthesis Audio System. If the game is already running full speed, we still have some improvements for you. Dolphin has seen a suite of frame pacing improvements that will give you a smoother experience across almost every game. And, if your system is very powerful, there are a select group of games that can now push past the 60 FPS barrier for high frame rate gaming. Before you get too excited, this feature does not work with most Nintendo developed titles and has incredibly low compatibility in general. For a list of what games support this, we'll get into it later in the report. If you care about preserving oddball Wii add-ons, we've got you covered here too. Wii Speak emulation is finally here after an incredibly long journey. In addition, long time incompatible game The Daring Game For Girls is finally compatible with Dolphin. We'll get into that game's story and more, but first, we need to get through quite a bit of housekeeping.

Discussion and News forum for all things video game emulation related, or tangentially. Platform agnostic. Mobile is welcome too. We’ll keep it loose, but more focused on emulation. Piracy discussion is allowed, that’s one reason we’re on this domain.

A General Discussion will be stickied for the community to chat in about whatever. Staying on topic isn’t important in any GD stickies.


Rules

#1: Obey our domain rules first and foremost.

  • TheDude abides. Try to be like The Dude here.

#2: Mundane Tech Support/Game Sourcing Questions need to be kept to the stickied posts, unless it’s something novel/interesting others might want to see.

  • if the community grows, the stickies should be renewed monthly.

#3: Unless it’s at least tangentially relevant to emulation, no politics. Don’t get your toque in a knot.

#4: Be nice, and consider reporting an offending hoser of #4 instead of responding to mean people to begin with.

Inspired by negative impressions of /r/ROMS:

#5a: Strive to be polite & patient with noobs asking questions.

  • We all start somewhere.

#5b: Doesn’t mean be a doormat.

  • Report rude, unjustifiably entitled, or ungrateful users asking questions too.
