    you need to put your games in a folder somewhere on your device (say roms/gamecube on your SD card). Id HIGHLY recommend you transfer the games from your pc to your phone, rather then downloading them on the phone itself.

    After you have them on your SD card in a location you know. Open dolphin and set your directory to that which you put your games in.

    It should then show up (they need to be in .iso or .gcm or .gcz format. NO OTHER format will work. if its a .zip or .rar extract it on your pc first and you will get one if those file types)

    But know no phone will play GC games for a VERY VERY VERY long time. (id say 5-10 years. WII will take 20+).

    This is because to get even the lesser demanding GC games to be at "playable" speeds (70-95%) you need atleast a 2.4ghz dual core cpu. And for the very demanding games it can take 3.0ghz+ to get playable speeds.

    For 100% speed in all games id say you probably need a 3.6ghz dual core or better.

    Dolphin is only able to use 2 cores max, so having more cores doesnt help speed at all. (and phones are usually multi core cpus at very low clock speeds).

    Becuase of this, i believe it will be atleast 5-10 years before games are playable on a phone.

    Dolphin Emulator Alpha is available on the Android System. Do not listen to the person that just answered your question. It is on Google Play. However like I said before, it is still in Alpha, so it will not work properly. Wait about a good few months and Dolphin Emulator should be updated. Also, it will not work on my Note 10.1 because it gives me a black screen.

    What format are the games in Dolphin is pretty strict about the files it supports. generally you need

    Dolphin supports playing games dumped in the following formats:

    GCM/ISO (uncompressed dumps, should be 1.4GB for GameCube games and 4.7GB for Wii games

    GCZ (Dolphin can be used to compress your games to this format)

    CISO

    WBFS (not supported in Dolphin 3.0 or earlier)

    Be aware that your not going to be able to play any games on the phone as Dolphin is still in Alpha all games are running extremely slow and unplayable at the moment.
