If you are a little techie or a gamer, you might have heard about the emulators, the software that allows users to play games made for particular consoles on other platforms. One Such emulator is Dolphin. It is officially available for Windows, macOS, and Android. It wasn’t available for iOS earlier, but last year in December, the support for iOS also arrived.
Dolphin emulator allows users to play GameCube/Wii games in Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, and iOS. The stable version for iOS known as DolphiniOS was released in December 2019. However, you will require a Jailbreak iOS device to run the emulator. Well, now, it is getting a new update with version number 2.1.0. Below are the changes and new features that DophiniOS 2.1.0 is getting.
DolphiniOS 2.1.0 Changelog:
Added the full settings menu from PC Dolphin.
Adjust emulated Wii and GameCube settings, Dolphin behavior settings, and more in “General”.
Adjust graphics settings in “Graphics”.
Adjust hacks for emulation bugs and performance in “Debug”. (You should only modify these settings if you understand what they’re doing.)
You can now create and load save states.
Open the in-game settings menu.
You have 10 slots per game.
If DolphiniOS is quit in the background (either by iOS or by the player), it will automatically create a save state which can be reloaded when the app is started again.
WARNING: Because of how Dolphin save states work, DolphiniOS updates may break save state compatibility. Please continue to use the in-game save functions.
Added a play/pause emulation button.
Added a delete button to the games list.
Swipe left on a game.
Added analytics and crash reporting.

Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
The 2.1.1 update has been released to address concerns regarding the top bar with controllers.
Added new modes to handle top bar visibility.
Swipe Down to Reveal – swipe down from the top edge of the screen to reveal the bar.
Virtual Button Toggle – press the arrow in the top left to reveal the bar.
Always Visible – the bar is never hidden.
Always Hidden – the bar is never shown.
Adjusted the workaround for the iOS 13 bug where swiping down to reveal the top bar causes controller input to stop updating (FB7679128).
If the preferred top bar mode is set as Swipe Down to Reveal and a controller is connected, it will automatically change to Virtual Button Toggle.
In addition, you can now use your controller’s menu button (if it has one) to toggle the top bar.
MFi controllers have a dedicated “MENU” button. * On Xbox One controllers connected to an iOS 13 device, press the Menu button. * On DualShock 4 controllers connected to an iOS 13 device, press the Options button. * Controllers connected with control may not support a menu button.
Rest assured, we will be updating you as and when further updates arrive for DolphiniOS.
