    The engineering that goes into these emulators is pure insanity

    How many other emulators have achieved the same? Seems pretty impressive.

      bsnes/ares, Flycast, Mesen, and I think BigPEmu all have 100% compatibility with all released games.

      Also Dolphin themselves achieved 100% Gamecube playability a while ago AFAIR.

      And yeah. It is very impressive.

        Unfortunately not. They have everything capable of booting to at least something, but not everything is playable.

      I could only find Wii u menu that doesn’t work because it’s not a Wii u emulator in the broken category
