Gamecube and Wii emulation just got even better with new Dolphin Emulator update
Better cheat support, game-by-game graphical settings, and more.


- Dolphin Emulator has been updated to Release 2503 on all platforms.
- It brings better cheat support with RetroAchievements, game-by-game graphical settings, and time played tracking.
- However, most of these changes only apply to the desktop versions, as RetroAchievements isn’t available on the Android version as of yet.
Update, March 10, 2025 (08:18 AM ET): A previous version of this article stated that some of these changes are available on the Android version of Dolphin Emulator, but after testing, they are not. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Dolphin Emulator is one of the most well-loved and well-established GameCube and Wii emulators on the scene. Its dev team continues to improve it more than two decades after its initial release. The latest update, Release 2503, just landed this morning, and it brings a number of tweaks and quality-of-life improvements for the desktop versions of the app.
