There is comparability with PC games but then again the wii control can do similar but you need third party software to use it i hear one of them is called GlovePie  http://glovepie.org/

Only if you're VC.

I've been following Dolphin since around '07 (back when it was hot shit that they could sort of run Smash Bros. Melee) and they sure have come a long way.

I always use this program at parties, I have my friends all bring Xbox controllers and we play Brawl in HD widescreen at 60 FPS from my computer with surround sound. Funny how an emulator can provide a better experience than the actual console (I do own an actual Wii as well but Dolphin completely trumps it, and it fried from a power surge anyway).

The best part is that I can use all my Wii hardware without any additional software (save a bluetooth dongle I bought for $10) so I can play everything in HD while still using the Wii controller + nunchuck, the classic controller, my keyboard, my Xbox/Logitech Controller, or anything else with buttons.

What kind of system do you own? I've tried some games on Dolphin before but I could never break 30FPS.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66 GHz
Nvidia Geforce 9500 GS (512 MB)
6 GB DDR2
1.75 TB Local HDD Space

It's an okay computer, it can run all GCN games totally fine, and on some Wii games it absolutely dies (Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy) while on others I can get it to hover around 40-60 FPS (Brawl, Mario Kart).

It's really all about how much time you spend tweaking the plugins, depending on which configurations I use inside the emulator I can make some games range from unplayable to full framerate just by adjusting the settings.
