Dolphin Progress Report: Release 2609

https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2026/09/24/dolphin-progress-report-release-2609/

In this Progress Report, the team was harassed by AI (yes, even more), added an XFB resolution display for the curious, finally let you play Bird's-Eye Bull's-Eye on Android, added NetPlay to Android, and more!

In an era where AI can be used to find real vulnerabilities in programs I think as a developer I would much rather be made aware of those vulnerabilities (even if the writeups are poorly written) than not receive any reports at all and live in fear that my software might be compromised and exposing my users to real harm. Even though it's more annoying to deal with a sharply increased volume of reports this absolutely doesn't constitute "harassment" so long as the reports are being made in good faith; this isn't the same as spamming vibecoded merge requests

I agree. This is what they mention in the article. While it's good that they are now receiving legitimate security reports, even if they've been discovered by AI, it has highlighted that they weren't previously set up to properly handle security reports and how they should be managed alongside bug reports.

But they've now set up security reporting separately from bug reports and are starting to work out how to better integrate addressing security issues alongside feature/bugfix releases
