Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the handwritten clues delivered in the past, rain and snow! CTOnews.com, May 27, Dolphin Simulator (Dolphin Emulator) is software that can run Nintendo GameCube and Wii games on PC. It was originally scheduled to be released on the Steam platform in the second quarter of 2023. However, according to today's update on the dolphin's website, Nintendo has sent a DMCA (Digital copyright Millennium Act) notice to Steam asking for the dolphin's Steam page to be removed. As a result, the release of dolphins on Steam has been "postponed indefinitely".

The dolphin development team said in a statement that they were very disappointed with the result and that they were exploring other possible options and would give a more detailed response in the near future. They also thanked users for their patience.

Dolphin stressed on the Steam page that the software does not come with any games and that users must have an original copy of any GameCube or Wii games they want to use. The software is just a tool for running legally obtained game backups.

The simulator supports modern handles, 4K resolution, fast archiving, online multiplayer games and other functions, and is completely open source and free to download. Some games can also be modified and patched to achieve effects such as frame count increase and widescreen display, which are also supported by community-produced MOD.

CTOnews.com noted that the dolphin simulator has a history as long as its simulated mainframe, and its first version appeared in 2003, just two years after the GameCube was released, but it didn't work well at the time. In 2007, it was revived as an open source project and added support for Wii and Linux, Mac clients. Today, it has become one of the most stable simulators.

Other simulators already exist on the Steam platform, such as RetroArch, so dolphins may have a chance to log on to Steam in some form in the future.
