Dolphin — Nintendo Switch

A native Nintendo Switch port of the standalone Dolphin emulator, featuring an all-in-one SDL
launcher with cover artwork, per-game settings, controller configuration, save and NAND tools,
RetroAchievements, and a Vulkan/NVK renderer.

Features

Game library and launcher

  • Cover-art library with grid navigation, animated backgrounds, region badges, and UI sounds
  • Recursive game folders on the SD card, USB mass storage, and authenticated or guest SMB shares
  • SD, USB, and SMB file manager with rename, copy, move, paste, and cancellable transfer progress
  • SteamGridDB cover search and artwork selection using your own API key
  • Global settings and independent per-game overrides
  • RetroAchievements Supported

Supported software

  • GameCube and Wii disc images
  • Installed Wii channels from the emulated NAND
  • WAD packages and standalone DOL/ELF executables
  • GCM, TGC, BIN, ISO, CISO, GCZ, WBFS, WIA, RVZ, NFS, WAD, DOL, and ELF files

LSFG-VK frame generation

  • Optional LSFG 2× Frame Generation integrated into the Vulkan presentation path
  • Global and per-game enablement, flow-resolution control, and performance mode
  • Runtime enable/disable control from the in-game overlay
  • Native 50/60 FPS detection automatically bypasses frame generation so full-rate games are not
    slowed to 30 FPS

LSFG is optional and disabled by default. It requires a user-supplied compatible
Lossless.dll in sdmc:/switch/dolphin/lsfg/Lossless.dll

In-game overlay

Hold L + R + Plus while playing to open the quick menu.

  • Pause and resume emulation
  • Save and load states
  • Eject or change the emulated disc
  • Enable or disable Action Replay and Gecko cheats
  • Enable or disable the FPS display
  • Enable or disable LSFG for the current session
  • View RetroAchievements progress
  • Change the active controller mode
  • Reset emulation
  • Stop the game and return safely to the launcher
