Dolphin

As someone who's limited by how much games I can play on the Mac the Dolphin emulator is a breath of fresh air. It emulates Gamecube which has pretty up to date graphics on some games - like for example I'm playing Resident Evil Zero right now and the game still holds up. What's great about the emulator is that it can use OpenGL or something to make the games look way better and enhance them to 1080p with no lag. The other thing is the ability to save states - so I don't have to wait to find a typewriter in Resident Evil - which makes the play through faster. Finally a unique thing with Dolphin is you can increase the game speed by 100%. This is useful if I'm running from one side of the map to the other and don't want to wait as my character runs. I've used a number of emulators and Dolphin is by far the one I'm most happy with.

Won't even open on my ElCapitan 10.11 system.

Current Version is 4.0, get it from the developer's site since MacUpdate refuses to update this listing.

Fantastic app, however MacUpdate has refused to fix the version for years now. Current version is 4.0

Note details/links are very outdated The Latest stable version is 3.5 link to Developer Site should be http://dolphin-emu.org/
