Getting Started with Dolphin
Back to the Top
Dolphin is a fairly straight-forward emulator to set up. Place your Wii ROMs in Emulation/roms/wii and your GameCube ROMs in either Emulation/roms/gc or Emulation/roms/gamecube. No additional setup is required. Read the Configuration section to learn more about Dolphin and its folder locations.
To launch your ROMs in game mode, use Steam ROM Manager and use one of the following parsers to play your GameCube or Wii ROMs:
EmulationStation-DE
