Windows and Mac

  • Download and unrar the lastest revision/version of Dolphin.
  • Put it on a folder (preferably named after the revision).
    • If you want to use old GameCube Memory Card files, place them on "./User/GC"
    • Wii NAND dumps should be placed on "./User/Wii"
    • We do not recommend using StateSaves between different versions.

Linux

Linux users can build and install from source code [1] Or using a unofficial Personal Package Archive (PPA). Just add "ppa:glennric/dolphin-emu" to your software sources.

Configure Plugins

In most cases, the preset settings works fine. If you want to change something, Performance guide can help you.

File Browser

  • You can launch ISO/WAD files by browsing them, or setting a folder to search for files (which will be shown at the Dolphin's main window)
    • Banner/Game Names may not load at first time. Making a save file for that game fixes it. That isn't a bug itself. (GameCube games don't have this issue)
    • Items shown can be toggled on/off on the "View" menu.
