• Dolphin emulator just got a big update with countless bug fixes and improvements for GameCube and Wii emulation.
• Among other things, Eternal Darkness is now playable again after a bug caused it to hang on boot.
• The update is available now to download for Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux.

If there’s one emulator that’s stood the test of time, it’s Dolphin emulator. From its scrappy start more than two decades ago as the first GameCube emulator on PC to the first Android release in 2013, it’s more than earned its spot as one of the best emulators on the market. And now, it’s even better thanks to a new update.

Release 2412 introduces a ton of bug fixes, and while none of them are game-changing (so to speak), they do make a huge variety of problematic games more playable. If you’ve used the emulator to play games like Metroid Prime or Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, you may have noticed an annoying “unknown opcode” popup interrupting your gameplay. It usually didn’t cause the emulator to crash, but it was a major distraction.
