bollocks, slow at posting things yet again

Maybe you shouldn't talk about stuff you don't understand.

Especially since one would think that our official builds would be more stable than some weird 3rd-party build which is just distributed to maximize the 3rd party's ad income.

tl;dr: Yes, you indeed appeared like a noob with those questions.

Well, how should have I worded my question then?

to delroth, I think I know a little about CPU architectures, instruction sets, and how CPUs execute processes. I am a current CS major after all.

Maybe you shouldn't have asked the question at all. Why would you even think that the official builds are "awefully unstable"? And doubting that the builds are optimized for SSE is a silly thing to do, since it is clearly stated in a number of places that Dolphin requires a CPU with SSE2 support. You would think a CS major would reflect a little more on what he/she is about to say instead of just blabbering along.

Oh, I don't know maybe because it says ""Warning! Development versions are released every time a developer makes a change to Dolphin. Using development versions enables you to use the latest and greatest improvements to the project, at the cost of decreased stability" on the download page.

And you think because emucr does not have this disclaimer their builds are more stable? Do they have some wizards/developers we don't know about that work on the stabilization of our development versions?
