GitHub has made it easy for developers to contribute to the Dolphin project. By forking the Dolphin repository, developers can create their own copy of the codebase and make changes to improve the emulator. The Dolphin project encourages contributions from developers, testers, and users, and provides a comprehensive guide to getting started with development.

Many games that run perfectly on modern Dolphin (like Super Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime ) will likely crash or exhibit massive graphical glitches on 32-bit versions. At the time, it was a simple emulator
Dolphin was first released in 2003 as a GameCube emulator for Windows. At the time, it was a simple emulator that could only run a handful of games. However, with the dedication of its developers and the open-source community, Dolphin quickly evolved to support more games, features, and platforms. In 2004, Dolphin added support for the Wii, and since then, it has become one of the most popular emulators for both the GameCube and Wii.
For years, Dolphin maintained a 32-bit version, but it eventually became a bottleneck for development.
