Dolphin, the free open-source GameCube and Wii game emulator, released new 2509 version today after another 3 months of development.<\/p>\n

The new release of this game emulator revamped the settings UI, added some new features, and, it can finally emulate<\/b> Toy Story 3<\/strong><\/em>, Cars 2<\/strong><\/em>, and Disney Infinity<\/strong><\/em> on powerful hardware at full speed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It seems that Avalanche Software, the team behind the 3 games, don’t like Dolphin Emulator.<\/p>\n

However, we’re going to go out on a limb and say that Avalanche Software, the team behind the Trio of Destruction\u2122, weren’t so fond of us. Not only did they leave crude messages hidden in game data for “hackers” to find, but we also suspect that someone on their team was actively monitoring us.<\/i><\/p>\n

While Toy Story 3 took a few years to get working, the writing was on the wall for quite some time that eventually it would be solved. So, for Avalanche’s next two games, we believe that they left a trap specifically designed to defeat Dolphin: the dcache suicide pill.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the announcement<\/a> said, the team added a trap in the games designed to stop Dolphin from running them in PC or mobile phone. But with the 2509 release, it finally fixed the issue by adding a patch allowing to run the Trio of Destruction\u2122 fluidly on powerful hardware.<\/p>\n

Besides that, the release revamped the settings UI, and introduced new “Map and Calibrate<\/b>” button, allows to simply map and calibrate joystick at the same time.<\/p>\n

It also added “Correct Time Drift<\/b>” option under Advanced setting page. It pursues accurate overall elapsed time by running fast after stutters, which is useful for internet play.<\/p>\n

Dolphin-emu 2509 also improved the general performance for Bluetooth Passthrough. It added the ability to load Realtek firmware, when trying to use a Realtek adapter with the feature for the first time.<\/p>\n

Meaning now the Bluetooth Passthrough now supports modern Bluetooth adapters<\/strong>, such as TP-Link Bluetooth 5.3 Nano<\/em> and Asus USB-BT500<\/em>.<\/p>\n
