Dolphin seems to work perfectly with Wii emulation, they all run at 100%, but for some reason all Gamecube games are significantly slowed down, and despite adjustments to settings the speed is unaffected. Dolphin is a cross-platform emulator that runs on Windows (7 SP1 and newer), Linux, and macOS (10.10 Yosemite and up). For their ease of use and additional graphics backend options, Windows is generally recommended for most users.

When Nintendo announced last week that it will, gamers split into two camps: people intrigued by the promise of, and others — — who expect Nintendo to release shallow mobile minigames, mostly to promote console titles. Nintendo hasn’t actually committed to bringing the Super Mario games people love into the App Store; instead, it’s that won’t require complex controls. The implication is that only Nintendo consoles are capable of playing Nintendo’s console games. I disagree with that. For years, Macs and PCs have been able to run thousands of classic console and arcade games, including Nintendo’s best-known titles, using emulators. These free programs let discontinued, often HDTV-incompatible games play on computers — in many cases, with noticeably better graphics than you remember.

Freed from the fuzzy, low-contrast televisions people used to own, classic games can look pixel-sharp on Retina displays, and some emulators actually improve the edges and textures of 3-D objects. Nintendo may not want you to play its prior console games on your favorite Apple device’s screen, but thanks to emulators, it’s possible today.

The picture above? That’s, running on a Retina MacBook Pro Although an incredible amount of hard work went into developing emulators, the basic concept is simple: the emulator converts old game “ROMs” (cartridges/chips) or “ISOs” (discs) into apps that run on another, newer machine. Think of the emulator as being a realtime translator of Spanish into English, constantly translating the old game’s language into the new machine’s language, and you’ll get a sense of how much opportunity there is for show-stopping misinterpretations (game crashes).

Yet emulators work: the faster the new machine is, and the better the emulator’s written, the smoother old games run. The best-known classic game emulator is, the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, which has been available (and evolving) since 1997.

Thanks to 18 years of development, MAME is now capable of emulating thousands of different games across dozens of different arcade platforms — equivalent to translating classic books from the world’s most popular languages into English. Developers have released versions of,, and even, and as computer chips have continued to improve every year, games that were once sluggish have become easier to emulate quickly. MAME’s developers also continue to remove bugs, so everything from simple 2-D arcade classics like Pac-Man to thrilling 3-D racing games like Daytona USA (above) can run equally well. On the console side, compiles and provides a slick interface for numerous console emulators.
