🟣 GameCube Play Guide

1. Install KhoGameHub Launcher (once only) and Dolphin Emulator — then click Play on PC (Dolphin), the game opens automatically.
2. Android: Install the KhoGameHub app → tap Open in App to play directly.
3. Controls: Plug in a gamepad (Xbox/DualShock both work), Dolphin detects it automatically. Switch controller type using the toggle button on the page.

💾 Saving

Dolphin uses a virtual memory card, saving automatically per-game like a real GC. Save state: F1–F8 (save slot) / Shift+F1–F8 (load slot).

⚙️ Dolphin Settings

• Graphics → Backend: Select Vulkan (best) or Direct3D 12/11 if Vulkan fails.
• Internal Resolution: 2x Native (1080p) or 3x for 1440p/4K displays — much sharper than native GC.
• Anti-Aliasing: MSAA 2x or 4x to remove jagged edges.
• Anisotropic Filtering: 4x or 16x for smoother distant textures.
• Widescreen Hack: Graphics → Enhancements → Widescreen Hack → enable for 16:9 (some games may show artifacts).
• Shader Compilation: First run may stutter — this is normal, Dolphin is building a shader cache. Subsequent runs will be smooth.

🎮 Controller Setup

Controllers → Port 1 → Standard Controller → Configure. For DualShock/DualSense: enable SDL as backend for full button support. Analog triggers (L/R) need correct axis mapping.

🖥️ Hardware Requirements — Dolphin

⚠️ Dolphin is the heaviest emulator of the four — GC/Wii uses high-speed PowerPC CPU, requiring strong IPC. More cores help less than high single-thread clock speed.

* Dolphin is significantly heavier than PCSX2. Games like F-Zero GX and Metroid Prime demand strong CPUs. First-run shader stuttering is normal — smooth after cache is built.
