Editing Dolphin

{{delete|see talk page}}

The '''Dolphin''' is the mainly used SSBM emulator, mostly because it does not crash as often as others and it has Netplay. It has become famous through Antdgar's SSBM Perfect Falcon and Perfect Pichu videos. It has also become famous through the ability of people to now [[texture hack]] melee and change noises. It is named after how the gamecube was codenamed, "Project Dolphin."

==Pros of Dolphin==
*With a good enough computer, this is the only legitimate way to play SSBM online.
*With an adapter, it allows you to play melee with all different types of controls, such as keyboard and the xbox controller outside the gamecube controller.
*With the ability to tweak settings easier than a normal gamecube, it is much easier to hack the emulator. This is also better as it removes the ability to permanently damage the gamecube through hacking
*Outside of SSBM, other games, such as SSBB, can also be played on this emulator.

==Cons of Dolphin==
*It takes a very strong computer to play it at a high FPS but the people who are working on making the files smaller or to allow it to be more accessible to the smash scene.
*As with other emulators, the legality of Dolphin is questioned.
*Due to the size of the program, the "scene" of the online melee community is very small.

-'''Dolphin''' is a [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[Wii]] emulator supported on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. It can run ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', albeit with minor graphical and performance issues not present on original hardware,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php/Super_Smash_Bros._Melee|title=Super Smash Bros.

Brawl - Dolphin Emulator Wiki|accessdate=2021-03-08}}</ref> ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' via the Wii's [[Virtual Console]], as well as [[mod]]s, including ''[[Project M]]'' and ''[[Project+]]''. Dolphin's stability and enhancement options makes it the most viable option for emulating the supported systems.

-Dolphin also features many graphical and gameplay features unavailable in the original consoles. These most notably include input recording and replaying for [[tool-assisted superplay]]s, texture [[file replacement]] and extraction, and native [[netplay]] functionality.

-Despite popular belief, Dolphin software in isolation is not inherently illegal to own and operate. In the United States, several lawsuits have ruled in favor of emulators falling under fair use, such as {{iw|wikipedia|Sega v. Accolade}} in 1992 and Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment America v. Bleem in 2000, as well as the {{iw|wikipedia|Digital Millennium Copyright Act}} declaring emulators as exempt from standard copyright protections. However, most methods to obtain games in a format that can actually be played on an emulator are considered piracy, which is illegal, so players are often warned to use emulation at their own discretion.
