UWP version Dolphin emulator enables playing Wii and Gamecube games on Xbox

A Universal Windows Platform version of Dolphin, an emulator for the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube, has been released. This makes playing emulated Wii and Gamecube games on Xbox Series S and X easier than it was before.

Developer SirMangler put the UWP version of Dolphin online last month and youtuber Modern Vintage Gamer made a video about it. According to him, the installation is much easier than with emulator RetroArch, while the set-up is also a bit simpler.
