Compiling Dolphin to Run Headless

[Neui]

option(ENABLE_HEADLESS "Enables running Dolphin as a headless variant" OFF)

and I switched the "OFF" to "ON" and recompiled

The proper way is to modify the CMakeCache.txt file.

(This is code from another guy who made a bot for Super smash bros melee).
He has an executable called "dolphin-emu-headless" (or so it seems)

I found this:

Code:

if self.gui:
      # switch from headless to gui
      if self.exe.endswith("-headless"):
        #self.exe = self.exe[:-9]
        self.exe = self.exe[:-9] + "-nogui"

It basically just replaces "-headless" with "-nogui". So it is effectively using "dolphin-emu-nogui"
