helloo~ so i've been trying to google about for a solution for a few hours now and figured i'd just bite the bullet and make an account!
so i've been doing my best to get dolphin to work - and it did! sort of. the stable 5.0 version worked in the sense it opened, games could be played, so on and so forth. but my switch pro controller - the sticks wouldn't be recognized. the right stick was like - recognized but only the y axis, the x axis was completely dead as far as dolphin was concerned. and as far as dolphin was concerned! the left stick didn't exist at all. so that little issue lead me to find some people saying that's because i just need one of the recent development versions of dolphin and i'll be all set because they recognize the analog sticks for the switch pro controller! great!
except i can't get a development version to open :/ i've tried like seven different ones ranging from the most recent to i think 5.0-6414 was the earliest i tried. maybe i'm not going back far enough? but it felt really exhausting and pointless to just keep randomly clicking development versions.
what happens is i download, and when i try to open the .dmg file my computer is all "hey this isn't compatible, check with the developer to make sure your version of osx can handle this program!" which i don't super see a way to do? which honestly might be the issue, but i've been avoiding updating to high sierra because i have a bunch of programs i'm concerned i'll lose access to if i do. i'm currently running 10.10.5 Yosemite, and like i know macs are notorious for just not working when video games are involved but i was hoping someone might have an idea as to what's up? or what i can do? if it's just my osx is out of date i mean i guess that's all there is to it, but i mean just the confirmation that yeah that's the issue would be nice!
thanks in advance for any advice!
