Hello developers and team!

I'm an up and coming YouTuber looking to make professional videos and content. I have intentions to use the Dolphin emulator to play games that will appear on my channel and have a strict no piracy policy for my videos, and I'll be discussing how I won't accept that in my content.

I'm looking to find out who I would need to speak to for permission to use the emulator and if there are any royalty or monetization requirements I need to meet for using the software. If there is a document you want to refer me to instead that is great as well. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you for your time!

Dolphin is freely released to the public for the purpose of preserving GameCube and Wii experiences, and there are no royalties or anything of the sort. Use Dolphin however you like.

However, mentioning us, using our logo, pointing toward our website, etc etc would be appreciated~

Excellent! I'd be more than happy to include the Dolphin logo and include links in the video itself. I'm not seeing it here, but do you have a donations page or patreon style system I can refer my viewers to if they want to donate to support Dolphin?
No, we don't have any kind of donation system set up.

Ok fair enough. Just wanted to know all the details and such. Thank you both for your time and I hope you have a pleasant day!
