I guess the easiest way is to refer to all the emulation-adjacent projects which essentially rely on RetroArch for the majority of their intregations. It's so obviously true that it's difficult to know where to begin 'proving' it. > I know its difficult to be objective, but could you somehow explain in which way it is more popular ? I ask because I'd be happy to contribute my emulator as a core to RetroArch but I'll do it only if I know it will increase the number of my users significantly (which will be quite easy to be honest :-) ). I could plug my pc into the TV and set the resolution lower and you probably couldn’t tell the difference. It’s really impressive what the dolphin team has done. I can connect my original Wiimotes via Bluetooth too. I didn’t really play these games anymore on the wii, and I don’t play them in dolphin now either, but it does give me comfort that I could go back and keep playing if my Wii finally bites the dust. The hardest part was just swapping disks and coming back every 15 minutes to swap another disk. I was shocked at how simple doing all of this was. Main difference is that I can swap disks with a click. All the Miis are there, all of the channels. I click a button in dolphin and it’s exactly the same as my wii. I was surprised that all of this was possible. Dolphin now exactly matches my physical wii, including the complete home menu and all game saves. And even got dumps of my GameCube memory cards. And even backed up the Wii onboard memory to dolphin on my PC. I successfully dumped my entire Wii and GameCube library. I followed the dumping guide on dolphin’s site (and a wii hacking guide) and it was shockingly simple. I still have my old Wii laying around, with all my old Wii and GameCube games. And I always enjoy reading their thorough progress reports.

Dolphin is an impressive piece of software.
