🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

it lets PC gamers enjoy games for these two consoles in full HD (1080p) with a bunch of glow-ups on top:

• compatibility with all PC controllers
• turbo speed
• networked multiplayer
• and even more! ✨

and dolphin-emu rocks a graphical user interface built with Qt 5. it's giving polished. it's giving desktop app. periodt.
