Dolphin was first released in September 2003 by programmers Henrik RydgÃ¥rd (ector) and F|RES as an experimental Nintendo GameCube emulator that could boot up and run commercial games. Audio was not yet emulated, and there were performance issues.
Pilot Luis Morales III and all eight passengers, including Aaliyah, were killed in the aviation incident. According to findings from an inquest conducted by the coroner's office in the Bahamas, Aaliyah suffered from severe burns and a blow to the head, in addition to severe shock.
Etymology & Historical Origin - Aaliyah. Aaliyah is an Arabic female given name taken from the masculine âAaliâ (Ø¹Ø§ÙÙ) meaning âsublimeâ (as in exalted, awe-inspiring). Furthermore, in Hebrew, to make an âaliyahâ means to go up toward God, or more simply, âto rise, ascend.â Apropos, Aliyah also referred to the journey of the Jewish people to the Promised Land. Westerners were introduced to this unusual Arabic name by American recording artist Aaliyah Dana Haughton (1979-2001).
