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."
