'''Dolphin''' is a [[GameCube]] and [[Wii]] emulator usable on personal computers. As a result of this, both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' are playable with the emulator. The original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' is also playable through the Wii's [[Virtual Console]] service, or through third-party homebrew software. As Dolphin is currently the most stable GameCube and Wii emulator available for download, it is currently the most popular option for emulating ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', though more stable [[Nintendo 64]] emulators like [[Project 64k]] are generally more widely used for ''SSB64''. Dolphin is named after the development codename of the GameCube, "Dolphin".

Outside of its ease of setup and relative stability, Dolphin has since become popular for its use in [[tool-assisted superplay]]s, especially with JPleal's Perfect Falcon and Perfect Pichu videos. In addition, the emulator allows for the ability to [[texture hack|hack textures]] in all three games. Dolphin has also been focused on because of its built-in netplay functionality for ''SSB64'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Brawl's'' various [[mod]]s; more recent builds of Dolphin have notably been able to reduce [[online desynchronization|desynching]] problems that have previously plagued Dolphin's netplay scene.

According to Dolphin's development team, ''Melee'' can run in Dolphin without emulation errors. ''Brawl'', however, requires certain graphical requirements set within Dolphin to properly display the various [[results screen]]s; in single player modes, the screen focusing on the player's character instead becomes a solid green colour, and in multiplayer modes, the text becomes completely illegible. Barring these graphical flaws, the Dolphin development team has stated that ''Brawl'' is fully playable in the emulator.
 
''[[Project M]]'' and other ''Brawl'' [[mod]]s can also be run on Dolphin with appropriate settings, and they can also be played online; the ''Project M'' Dev Team notably released a version of the mod optimized for Dolphin, allowing it to potentially run better than ''Brawl'' itself on some computers.
