Alright, let’s talk about this “ciso dolphin” thing. I ain’t no fancy computer person, ya know. I’m just tellin’ ya what I heard and what seems to make sense, like how to pick a good watermelon, thump thump, you know?
So, this dolphin thing, it ain’t the fishy kind, no sirree. It’s somethin’ for playin’ them video games, like them GameCube games my grandson’s always yappin’ about. He tells me these games, they come on these things called “discs,” and these discs, well, they got stuff on ’em called “ISO.” Think of it like a whole pie, that’s your ISO. Big, ain’t it?
Now, this “ciso” thing, that’s like takin’ that big pie and squishin’ it down. Makes it smaller, see? Easier to carry around, easier to stuff in your pocket, or your computer, or whatever. My grandson says it’s good for saving space. He’s always complainin’ about space, that boy. Always needin’ more space for his games and whatnots.
But here’s the catch, just like you can’t eat a squished pie right away, you gotta “unsqueeze” that ciso back into an ISO before you can play the game. It’s like bakin’ the pie again. My grandson, he uses some fancy program to do it. He clicks some buttons, and poof! The pie’s back to normal, ready to eat… I mean, play.
- ISO: Big file, like a whole pie. Takes up lots of space.
- CISO: Small file, like a squished pie. Saves space.
- Dolphin: The thing that lets you play the game, like your oven for bakin’ the pie.
Now, why would you want a squished pie, I mean, a ciso file? Well, like I said, it’s smaller. My grandson says it’s easier to share with his friends online. And he’s got a whole bunch of them games. Too many if you ask me. He’s always downloadin’ somethin’ from the internet, that boy. I tell him, “Be careful what you download, you don’t know what you’re gettin’!” But he just waves me off, says he knows what he’s doin’. Kids these days, huh?
He told me there’s these places online, like “vaults” he calls ‘em, where they keep all these games. And some of them games are in this ciso format. He says it’s so people can download them faster. Imagine waitin’ all day for a big ol’ pie to download. Takes forever. But a small piece, that downloads quicker. It’s like when you’re getting the mail, a small letter comes faster than a big package, makes sense, right?
And this dolphin thing, that’s what lets him play those games on his computer. He says it’s an “emulator.” Sounds fancy, but all it means is it makes his computer think it’s a GameCube. Like dressin’ up a cat to look like a dog, you know? It ain’t really a dog, but it looks like one. And it can play them GCM files too. That’s another type of game file, he says. Like a different flavor of pie, I guess. All these different names, makes my head spin sometimes.
He was also goin’ on about some “RVZ” thing. Says it’s even better than ciso, ‘cause you only need one version of the game. Sounds like he’s always lookin’ for the best way to save space and make things easier. He’s a smart boy, even if he does spend too much time on them video games.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about ciso dolphin. It’s about makin’ them game files smaller so you can download ‘em faster and save space. And then you use this dolphin thing to play ‘em. It ain’t rocket science, even an old lady like me can understand it, sort of. Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make a real pie, all this talk about pies has made me hungry.
