The '''Dolphin Development Hardware''' is a Dolphin (GameCube) development kit which contains a hard drive for storing and managing game builds, connected to a PC over a SCSI interface. The unit itself looks similar to a grey PC from the late 1990s. The optical disc emulation functionality of the unit is similar to other GameCube development kits like the [[GDEV]], with its main distinguishing feature being the internal hard drive accessible via a PC.

The DDH was distributed starting in 1999, making it the oldest of the GameCube devkits (besides emulation platforms and internal platforms like the [[Arthur]] and [[Minnow]]). Some early DDH units distributed to third parties in 2000 used an "HW1_DRIP" hardware configuration, restricting the unit to 4MB of usable RAM and a small portion of the GameCube's normal clock speed.
