'''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. | '''Dolphin''' is a [[GameCube]] and [[Wii]] emulator usable on personal computers.

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. | 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.

''[[Project M]]'' and other ''Brawl'' [[mod]]s can also be run on Dolphin with appropriate settings, and they can also be played online; the ''Project M'' Dev Team notably released a version of the mod optimized for Dolphin, allowing it to potentially run better than ''Brawl'' itself on some computers. | ''[[Project M]]'' and other ''Brawl'' [[mod]]s can also be run on Dolphin with appropriate settings, and they can also be played online; the ''Project M'' Dev Team notably released a version of the mod optimized for Dolphin, allowing it to potentially run better than ''Brawl'' itself on some computers. | ||
