Rachel Bryk, an active developer for the Dolphin Emulator[*] project, passed away on the 23rd of April at the age of 23.

While this is hardly the kind of news that would shake the tech world and be featured on major news site, I think the SoylentNews community can fully appreciate her work and commemorate that tragic loss with the team and the retro gaming and TAS community at large.

Most of her work was focused on making the Dolphin more suited to make tool assisted speedruns.

A full announcement and commemorative post can be found on the official Dolphin project blog.

Dolphin emulator:

Dolphin is an emulator for two recent Nintendo video game consoles: the GameCube and the Wii. It allows PC gamers to enjoy games for these two consoles in full HD (1080p) with several enhancements: compatibility with all PC controllers, turbo speed, networked multiplayer, and even more!

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people involved with Dolphin for there time and effort. The NGC is one of my favourite platforms as a gamer and Dolphin alowed me to keep playing long after my cube died. Thank you to all for your hard work.

    I would like to add my condolences to all the people who are touched by Rachel. Her efforts will be missed by those people in the NGC/Wii emu comuntiy and I am sure she will be missed by people who knew her personally.

    RIP Rachel you will be missed.
