'''Dolphin''' is a [[GameCube]] and [[Wii]] emulator usable on personal computers. As a result of this, both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' are playable with the emulator. As Dolphin is currently the most stable GameCube and Wii emulator available for download, it is currently the most popular option for emulating the two games. Its high system requirements, however, have prevented it from attaining the same level of popularity as [[Nintendo 64]] emulators, such as [[Project 64]], though the gradual increase of power in computers intended for gaming have caused Dolphin's popularity to slowly increase.

Outside of its ease of setup and relative stability, Dolphin has since become popular for its use in [[tool-assisted superplay]]s, especially with JPleal's Perfect Falcon and Perfect Pichu videos. In addition, the emulator allows for the ability to [[texture hack|hack textures]] in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. Dolphin has also been focused on because of its built-in netplay functionality for ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Brawl's'' various [[mod]]s; more recent builds of Dolphin have notably been able to reduce [[online desynchronization|desynching]] problems that have previously plagued Dolphin's netplay scene.
