If this is your attitude towards Android id just shut it down doesn't make sense to put up with users complaining about something thats not even "cared about"
Because the developers that work on Dolphin are mainly programmers for Windows/Linux PC (x86_64) architecture. Most of the Android developers left without notice or had better things to do in life, AFAIK currently only JohnnyH is working on the Android port mainly implementing missing features in the menu's/configuration screens. So if you can find Android developers that are willing to work for free (in their free time) on a passion project like Dolphin, feel free to send them here. Or of course if you are one you're welcome too.

Because one developer wanted to learn to write a JIT for ARM and Android was a convenient platform to do so on. They've stopped working on the project for a couple years now. The Android port was written in a way that makes it trivially easy to maintain so there's no maintenance headache despite it getting no consistent attention in months.
Additionally, I was being somewhat facetious. They're obviously mad about performance of dolphin on Android and how little attention it gets. I was half hoping that playing into that would make them go away and do something better with their time than use an emulator on a platform that runs like trash.

Indeed, the best thing would be to abandon once and for all the "support" to Android even though it should be the platform most used for being PORTABLE and with more users. Who today can prefer to play DOLPHIN on a PC when you can do it from your smartphone and carry it in your pocket? At least I'm not a cell phone user because I prefer to run DOLPHIN in my living room on my big 55 "TV using NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV, the absurdity of all is that PC has supposed" stable versions "but the development versions What do they do day after day so that they are? To break more games? I insist, hopefully another development team will be able to create another GCN and Wii emulator because at the pace they go in DOLPHIN (8 years and counting) an emulator will come out. Wii U for Android (There is already optimal for PC "cemu") and still these gentlemen do not know how to end up emulating GCN and Wii of the year 2001 and 2006
aIt's really funny how you say that cemu is "optimal" for pc, when they don't offer full input emulation with mouse and keyboard. Taken straight from the front page of their website: "Currently only the DRC (GamePad), Pro Controller and Classic Controller is emulated. Keyboard input + USB controllers are supported partially." Not only that, but between the unknown and unplayable categories of games on the wiki, there are 707 entries currently (159 unplayable, 548 unknown). That's a lot of unplayable games for an "optimal" emulator. All the other categories combined have 455 games (all this according to the wiki).
And not sure how this relates to Dolphin running on android, since Cemu is Windows only...

Then teach them HOW TO DO IT instead of just complaining with pointless statements. And yes, by that I mean that you should take on that difficult task of making Dolphin run better on Android despite most GPU drivers being trash.
Also, Dolphin has been actually 15 years around. And good luck finding another GC/Wii emulator as good as Dolphin.
You say that you've tested all these versions but i never see bisects or any kind of useful testing information. Seriously. If you test, make issues when shit breaks or else you're just wasting your time.

Oh come on. Please try this approach:
- grow up
- learn how to write software
- write a small emulator
- complain about emulators being shitty
In THIS order.
Right now, everything you've said is just "mimimimi, it doesn't work for me". There is no need for negative complainment. I'm waiting for constructive feedback.

Do you ask for constructive feedback when you developers are closed-minded who do not allow themselves to be told what they have done wrong? You lack a bit of friendly friendliness, the games that I have reported that you broke up is not only that they do not work for me but in general since there is not an exclusive version of the emulator for me, the mentioned games report that you forget to include WAVE RACE BLUE STORM are games that in previous versions WORKED and now they simply do not start!
You do not have to know about programming to see that something is wrong if you update every day (they are supposed to be improvements) and the development of the emulator goes backwards. You developers should be more cordial and must accept the mistakes they make, DOLPHIN is not perfect and if you appreciate the work and dedication, if you will not accept the reported failures then why have this forum? Do they develop the emulator for yourselves or for us?

Honestly, I have no idea. But sometimes, there is constructive feedback, but only very rarely here in the android section.

For ourself. I don't care if you are going to use my work or not. Have a nice day.
