The improved Broadband Adapter support, latency improvements and performance improving game patches (by capping parts of the game loop) are really cool and exciting improvements!

I grew up with the GameCube and spent many hours gaming on it but as the original hardware ages it's increasingly becoming more and more expensive to source (it's not unaffordable but you're paying for old stuff that's, unfortunately, likely to break soon-ish). Without projects like Dolphin it would become a very expensive hobby, somewhere in the next 5-10y.

I know that there's "official" solutions but the quality of the emulators that Nintendo produces unfortunately, tends to be subpar.

Dolphin is becoming so good that it's usually my goto benchmark for budget hardware (SBCs, lately the N100s, etc). Really cool to see that the team keeps pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

I respect the work the Dolphin team (and any/every team for that matter) does.

I don't quite get, with 100,000+ video games to play across so many different platforms, why people choose to play specific ones in niche ways.

It's like not understanding why with so many books / movies / music albums people choose to read or watch or listen to specific older ones.

I bet you'll understand when you get older.

Games are not fungible.

In my opinion, Super Smash Bros Melee is the greatest fighting game to ever exist, and Dolphin allows me to play it with friends I've long since moved away from.
