What's New
New PlayStation Core
Tico now ships with Tico DuckStation, replacing SwanStation as the default PlayStation emulator. Built on the GPL-licensed era of DuckStation, it features the deko3D graphics renderer for improved performance and rendering quality on Nintendo Switch while maintaining full integration with the Tico ecosystem.
You can install Tico DuckStation through the Tico Core Download Manager or download it manually from the release page:

Dolphin Core Improvements
The Dolphin core has received a new update focused on improving the Wii experience and controller usability:
- Fixed the Wii System Memory Corrupted / Error reading or writing Wii System Memory issue affecting WiiWare titles and games such as PokéPark.
- Added a first-launch tip explaining the available Wii controller modes, along with a shortcut to the Quick Menu.
- Mapped the left analog stick to the D-Pad in Handheld and Dual Joy-Con modes when using the Horizontal Wii Remote controller layout.
- Added initial touchscreen support for emulating the Wii Remote pointer.
You can update Dolphin Core v0.0.8 through the Tico Core Download Manager or download it manually from the release page:

Want to Contribute?
Every emulator core has its own repository under the Tico GitHub organization, making development, issue tracking, and contributions easier.
Bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests are always welcome. Please respect each core's original license and attribution requirements.
Note
The new Wii controller tip is shown only once, on the first launch after updating to this version. If you dismiss it, you can still review the controller layouts later through the Quick Menu.
