The announcement was made after almost a year of development updating and enhancing from previous versions.<\/p>\n<p>Dolphin is an <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/emulators\/\">emulator<\/a> for the <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/wii\/\">Wii<\/a> and the GameCube. These are two of <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/nintendo\/\">Nintendo<\/a>&#8216;s most recent game consoles. This allows gamers on <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/windows\/\">Windows<\/a>, Mac and <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/linux\/\">Linux <\/a>use their controllers and enjoy these games.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Dolphin is also compatible with turbo speed and networked multiplayer among other features on playing <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/video-games\/\">video games<\/a> on PCs.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Highlights of This Dolphin 5.0 Release?<\/h2>\n<p>The latest Dolphin 5.0 Release comes with a host of changes that one can consider this equivalent to a rewrite. Major changes involving rewrites have been included to take care of previous hacks that have been introduced into this game console emulator.<\/p>\n<p>Previous progressive versions of Dolphin suffered from slow emulation routines and that was a priority to be fixed in Dolphin 5.0 by speeding up the emulator and cleaning and modernizing the code base.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/opengl\/\">OpenGL<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/directx\/\">D3D11, and D3D12<\/a> now have major optimizations and can be taken advantage of where applicable.<\/p>\n<p>One of the points to note about the Dolphin 5.0 Release is that it requires 64-bit CPUs and Operating Systems. Support for Windows XP has been stripped while <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/windows\/\">Windows<\/a> Vista is no longer officially supported.<\/p>\n<p>The minimum version of Direct3D10 and OpenGL 3 are required. Based on these, to get an idea of what <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/gpu\/\">GPU<\/a>s are supported, it as follows. You now need <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/amd\/\">AMD<\/a> <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/radeon\/\">Radeon <\/a>4xxx series, <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/nvidia\/\">NVIDIA<\/a> <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/geforce\/\">GeForce <\/a>8xxx series, or <a href=\"\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/intel\/\">Intel <\/a>HD 2xxx series as a minimum! There is no guarantee on GPUs older than the series mentioned above. You can get the details on system requirements here.<\/p>\n<p>There is a whole array of changes to the Dolphin 5.0 Release that cannot be covered here. The good news is the Dolphin team has made a detailed blog post on the features and updates on this release and we recommend you continue reading more about it there.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, you can go ahead and download Dolphin from the official download location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dolphin 5.0 Release is finally out.
