List of games I have tried on this emulator:
A lot of racing games, I know.
Dolphin works pretty well, although if you have an average computer you'll probably get some lag while playing intermittently. I played all the games with my keyboard and mouse, but I'm sure a controller would enhance your experience.
I don't have any real complaints other than the periodic lag; it's that good. Of course, your mileage may vary depending on the game you are playing.
Love it! It's good for revisiting old GC games, making saves on a virtual memory card. Saves can be transferred to places like One Drive to avoid completely losing progress. Started using it when I'd come home from work exhausted with my brain fried. Helps me unwind. Dolphin got me into PC gaming.
This is a must have for all gamers, but you should have a USB controller. Dolphin automatically detects USB Xbox controllers so they are easy to map. I have had issues, but I think the issues were caused by bad rom/iso files. I haven't tried any wii games yet (they are too big to DL). And with some games you might have to play around with the graphic settings a little to get it to work, but it's worth it.
