sudo dolphin

Ever wish you could play Wii and GameCube games on your PC? Just like your favorite retro systems, there’s an emulator that can do the job, and it’s called Dolphin.

曾经希望您可以在PC上玩Wii和GameCube游戏吗？ 就像您最喜欢的复古系统一样， 有一个模拟器可以完成这项工作，它被称为Dolphin 。

Dolphin is an open source Wii and GameCube emulator that supports the majority of games for both consoles. Dolphin can run your collection of Wii and GameCube games very well at 1080p on most new PC’s, and even older systems still can crank out playable speeds in standard definition 480p (which is the GameCube’s native resolution). Installing Dolphin is easy, and you can even rip your own games from a Wii if you’re willing to homebrew it.

Dolphin是开源的Wii和GameCube模拟器，支持两个控制台的大多数游戏。 Dolphin可以在大多数新PC上以1080p的分辨率很好地运行您的Wii和GameCube游戏，即使是较旧的系统也可以以标准清晰度480p(GameCube的原始分辨率)提高可玩速度。 安装Dolphin很容易，如果您愿意自制，甚至可以从Wii翻录自己的游戏。

为什么海豚比Wii更好 (Why Dolphin Is Better than a Wii)

Why do this if you already have a Wii? Let me count the ways:

如果您已经有Wii，为什么要这样做？ 让我来计算一下：

• If you have good hardware, you can crank up the graphics settings on older games. In fact, even games for the GameCube, which had a maximum of 480p and were stuck at a 3:4 aspect ratio, upscale very well to full widescreen HD or even 4K. There are hacks that let games run at 60 frames per second. There are also many community made texture and shader packs which improve the look of the game substantially.

  如果您拥有良好的硬件，则可以提高较早游戏的图形设置。 实际上，即使是最大为480p且纵横比为3：4的GameCube游戏，也可以很好地将其升级到全宽屏高清甚至4K。 有一些漏洞可以使游戏以每秒60帧的速度运行。 还有许多社区制作的纹理和着色器包 ，可极大地改善游戏的外观。

• All your games will be in one place and load extremely fast. This can also be done by installing USB Loader GX on the Wii, which is actually required anyway to legally get your game disks to play on Dolphin, but it is still an advantage over a regular Wii.您所有的游戏都将集中在一处，并且加载速度非常快。 这也可以通过在Wii上安装USB Loader GX来完成，无论如何合法地在Dolphin上合法地获取游戏磁盘仍是必需的，但与常规Wii相比，它仍然是一个优势。

• You can use Wii Remotes with Dolphin, along with any other gamepad, including Xbox 360 and One Controllers. You could also use a GameCube Controller, but you will have to buy a USB adapter.

  您可以将Wii遥控器与Dolphin以及任何其他游戏板一起使用，包括Xbox 360和One Controllers。 您也可以使用GameCube控制器，但必须购买USB适配器 。

• It’s compatible with Windows and macOS, with an older release available on Linux.它与Windows和macOS兼容，在Linux上可以使用较旧的版本。

Dolphin is not without its problems; there are still games that do not emulate properly and have bugs or glitches, but there is excellent community support in their forums, and new releases come out every few weeks which include bug fixes.

海豚并非没有问题。 仍然有一些游戏无法正确模拟并且存在错误或小故障，但是在其论坛中有出色的社区支持，并且每隔几周就会发布新版本，其中包括错误修复。

Dolphin is open source and is available at their download page. The latest official version is 5.0, and it’s quite stable on most PCs with discrete graphics cards (some integrated graphics can run it, but you’ll have to try it out to see). All versions support the vast majority of Wii and GameCube games, though newer versions fix a lot of bugs in older versions and run better on current hardware.

海豚是开源的，可在其下载页面上找到 。 最新的正式版本是5.0，并且在带有独立显卡的大多数PC上都非常稳定(某些集成显卡可以运行它，但是您必须尝试一下才能看到)。 所有版本都支持绝大多数Wii和GameCube游戏，尽管新版本修复了旧版本中的许多错误，并且在当前硬件上运行得更好。

如何合法获得GameCube和Wii游戏 (How to Get GameCube and Wii Games Legally)

Emulators are commonly used to pirate games, but they can be used without downloading ROMs, too—and in the case of Dolphin, you can rip your own games to your PC using a Wii. The process is a little complicated, and involves installing the Homebrew channel on your Wii. This is worth doing anyway, as it lets you turn your old console into a DVD player, run emulators, and install games to a hard drive. In the case of emulation, homebrewing allows you to install games to a hard drive, which can be then be connected to a computer to be used with Dolphin.

模拟器通常用于盗版游戏，但是即使不下载ROM也可以使用模拟器，而且对于Dolphin，您可以使用Wii将自己的游戏翻录到PC上。 这个过程有点复杂，需要在Wii上安装Homebrew频道 。 无论如何，这都是值得做的，因为它使您可以将旧的控制台变成DVD播放器，运行模拟器并将游戏安装到硬盘上。 在仿真的情况下，使用自制软件可以将游戏安装到硬盘上，然后可以将其连接到要与Dolphin一起使用的计算机上。

To go this route, first homebrew your Wii, and install USB Loader GX. These can both be long processes, and may differ depending on what system version you have. After that, you can use USB Loader GX to rip your game disks to an external hard drive. Each game can take up to an hour to rip, and can be anywhere from 1GB to 5GB, though double-layer disks like Super Smash Bros: Brawl can be 8GB in size. Even still, a 1TB external drive can store over 300 games.

要走这条路，请首先自制Wii ，然后安装USB Loader GX 。 这些都可能是漫长的过程，并且可能会有所不同，具体取决于您所使用的系统版本。 之后，您可以使用USB Loader GX将游戏磁盘翻录到外部硬盘驱动器。 每个游戏最多可能需要一个小时才能破解，并且可以从1GB到5GB不等，尽管像Super Smash Bros：Brawl这样的双层磁盘可以达到8GB。 即使如此，一个1TB的外部驱动器仍可以存储300多个游戏。

It is worth pointing out that some DVD drives can actually rip Wii and GameCube games without the need for a Wii, though it only applies to a few specific drives.

值得指出的是，某些DVD驱动器实际上仅可用于少数几个特定的​​驱动器，而实际上不需要Wii即可复制Wii和GameCube游戏。

发挥海豚的最佳性能 (Getting the Best Performance Out of Dolphin)

As an emulator, running Dolphin on a PC will give take a performance hit versus the original GameCube and Wii hardware. But the good news is that those consoles are now so old, and new computer hardware is so powerful, that games can generally be run at full speed without issue. If you’re using an older or cheaper PC, you might only be able to play games at their original 480p resolution, but gaming PCs should be able to render GameCube and Wii games at 60 frames per second at 1080p, or even 4K—and they look fantastic.

作为仿真器，在PC上运行Dolphin会对原始GameCube和Wii硬件造成性能上的损失。 但是好消息是这些控制台现在已经很旧了，新的计算机硬件如此强大，以至于游戏通常可以全速运行而不会出现问题。 如果您使用的是较旧或更便宜的PC，则可能只能以其原始480p分辨率玩游戏，但游戏PC应该能够以每秒60帧的速度以1080p甚至4K渲染GameCube和Wii游戏，并且他们看起来很棒。

Before you begin a game, you’ll want to click the “Graphics” button on the main menu. There are four tabs here full of options:

在开始游戏之前，您需要单击主菜单上的“图形”按钮。 这里有四个选项卡，其中包含所有选项：

• General: here’s where you select your adapter (graphics card), your main resolution and aspect ratio (use whatever’s default for your monitor), and a few other tweaks. The Aspect ratio is particularly important: most GameCube games default to 4:3 (for “square” TVs), but some Wii games can display natively in widescreen 16:9. You may need to switch between them for the best results. Enable the “Use Fullscreen” option to show the games like a television, and disable V-Sync if you’re seeing slowdown.

  常规 ：在这里您可以选择适配器(图形卡)，主分辨率和宽高比(使用显示器的默认值)以及其他一些调整。 宽高比特别重要：大多数GameCube游戏默认为4：3(对于“方形”电视)，但是某些Wii游戏可以在本机上以16：9宽屏显示。 您可能需要在它们之间切换以获得最佳效果。 启用“使用全屏”选项以像电视一样显示游戏，如果看到速度变慢，则禁用垂直同步。

• Enhancements: this tab lets you add some cool extra effects, if your computer is powerful enough. If your computer doesn’t have a discrete graphics card, you’ll want to set the Internal Resolution setting to either “Auto” or “Native.” If you have a more powerful graphics card, you can try 2x or even 4x for sharper, clearer graphics. Anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering will help with “jaggies,” visible edges of 3D models, and the levels at which they’ll affect graphics performance go up as the variables increase. Click “disable fog” if you’re having trouble seeing in-game objects at long distances. Sterescopy is only necessary for users with 3D monitors.

  增强功能 ：如果您的计算机功能强大，则可以使用此选项卡添加一些很酷的额外效果。 如果您的计算机没有独立显卡，则需要将“内部分辨率”设置设置为“自动”或“本机”。 如果您拥有更强大的图形卡，则可以尝试使用2倍甚至4倍以获得更清晰，更清晰的图形。 抗锯齿和各向异性过滤将有助于消除“锯齿”，3D模型的可见边缘以及它们对图形性能的影响程度随变量的增加而提高。 如果您在长距离观看游戏中的物体时遇到问题，请单击“禁用雾”。 立体复制仅对于具有3D显示器的用户是必需的。

• Hacks: this tab is mostly for adjusting settings based on performance for individual games. You’ll use it if a specific game is having trouble—the Dolphin Wiki can instruct you on the necessary settings. Most games won’t need them.

  技巧 ：此标签主要用于根据各个游戏的性能调整设置。 如果特定游戏出现问题，您将使用它-Dolphin Wiki可以指导您进行必要的设置。 大多数游戏都不需要它们。

• Advanced: this tab has a few more options for advanced uses. The “crop” and “Borderless fullscreen” options are probably the only ones most users will want to try, but “Show statistics” is useful if you’re looking to benchmark your system or diagnose a problem.

  高级 ：此选项卡还有更多高级使用选项。 “裁剪”和“无边界全屏”选项可能是大多数用户想要尝试的唯一选项，但是如果您希望对系统进行基准测试或诊断问题，则“显示统计信息”很有用。

Once you’ve figured out the right settings for your game, it’s time to get playing.

为游戏找到正确的设置后，就该开始玩了。

连接控制器 (Connecting a Controller)

One of the benefits of Dolphin is that you can play with any controller you like, including controllers from other consoles and third-party gamepads. If you don’t have a controller, you can use the keyboard and mouse, which is fine for GameCube games but isn’t that great for Wii games.

Dolphin的优点之一是您可以与任何喜欢的控制器一起玩，包括来自其他控制台和第三方游戏手柄的控制器。 如果没有控制器，则可以使用键盘和鼠标，这对于GameCube游戏来说很好，但对Wii游戏来说却不那么理想。

If you have a Wii controller, you can connect it over Bluetooth. The same goes for Xbox One controllers. GameCube controllers require a USB adapter like this one, and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 controller can connect over USB or with a wireless adapter. If you have any other Xinput controllers, you can use them too

如果您有Wii控制器，则可以通过蓝牙进行连接。 Xbox One控制器也是如此 。 GameCube控制器需要这样的USB适配器 ，并且Microsoft的Xbox 360控制器可以通过USB或无线适配器进行连接 。 如果您还有其他Xinput控制器，也可以使用它们

Once you’ve connected a controller, open Dolphin’s “Controllers” panel. You can see here which controllers are connected.

连接控制器后，打开Dolphin的“控制器”面板。 您可以在此处查看连接了哪些控制器。

If you’d like to connect a real Wii controller, choose “Real Wiimote”, hold down 1 and 2 on your controller, and click “Refresh” under “Real Wiimotes” until you see your controller. You can connect up to 4 Wii remotes to Dolphin.

如果您想连接一个真正的Wii控制器，请选择“ Real Wiimote”，按住控制器上的1和2，然后单击“ Real Wiimotes”下的“ Refresh”，直到看到您的控制器。 您最多可以将4个Wii遥控器连接到Dolphin。

You can also edit the controls very easily. Click on one of the buttons in the menu and press the button on the controller that you want to use. Once you’re all set, you’re ready to start playing!

您也可以非常轻松地编辑控件。 单击菜单中的按钮之一，然后按要使用的控制器上的按钮。 一切准备就绪后，就可以开始演奏了！
