Wow devs [and I have questions] - Sievn - 05-28-2019
I play this emulator its amazing
Zelda TP almost finished and zelda Wind waker runs near [if Not full performance]
Dolphin is just an Amazing Android Project as a Whole.
Because Not only it plays GameCube games but it Plays Wii Games
[Most of them are very playable] On my Samsung Note 8 Snapdragon 835.
Its unbelievable.
I just have 3 questions [maybe others can answer from those who followed the project all these years]
1- how did you achieve such a difficult task, did you take some sources from PC Version or this version started from scratch?
2- I thought like 6 Years ago you said you were not planing to make Dolphin on Android?
What made you change your Mind?
3- What was the Main difficulty Porting Dolphin to Android?
Did Re-Studying the PC Version help Achieve this?

The actual part of the code base that runs emulation is shared across all supported platforms. Android only has UI code and some config bits specific to it.

One very bored developer wanted to write an ARM JIT and Android was a convenient target due to how available devices were. Supporting Android wasn't actually the intention, but a side effect of working on an ARM JIT.

I believe that bored developer was Sonicadvance. He's the one that got this train rolling. For fun, you should look up videos on youtube of dolphin running on the Galaxy S4. It's amazing how far they've come.
