Is the Dolphin Team open for donations?

I would be more than happy to donate to the team if it assured that we would get a strong, stable emulator in the near future. The Dolphin looks to me like the most promising Gamecube emulator (as it is the only one that plays commercial games). I really want to be able to play most commercial gamecube games on my computer. I didn't see any email links for the Dolphin team. Does anyone know how to contact them?

You can colaborate with the team, but they're not a corporation so they can't say you that :
a)They are going to do a strong emulator that runs anything at 32fps.
b)And they won't say you the date that the new version releases out.

I don't know if you understand me, i think they don't work for that purpose.

PD: a developer will say you that if you really want to play the commercial gamecube games to buy a gamecube..i'm sure :s

Well, there are strong N64, Playstation, and Dreamcast emulators. There is going to be a strong Gamecube emulator one day, I see this as inevitable. The question is when will we have it, and who will make it. To my observation, it looks like the Dolphin team is the most ambitious towards this. If this is true, then I want to donate... If the project has stopped and no one is working on it, then I guess its not a good idea. :saint:

Most powerful so far? Yes. Most promising? I can't answer that. But I do know that the developers aren't worked on it very frequently.

If you want an emulator done on your terms, the most reliable way to get it done is to do it yourself. Most people here who write emulators do it as a hobby and prefer to work on them when they feel like it - not when someone who pays them money has high expectations. I'm sure they'd love a donation and the thought is good, but you generally can't speed up a hobbyist programmer on-demand.
