Dolphin is now distributed on Google Play Store (again)

[Helios]

The Dolphin Emulator team has officially released Dolphin on the Google Play Store again. This means you can now get automatic updates with Dolphin and the peace of mind that you're always getting Dolphin from a reliable source.

How does this work?

1. Delroth has put in the work to automatically update the Play Store with dev builds we cherry pick roughly every progress report. These are the same builds that you would find on the desktop version of Dolphin under the "Beta" track.

2. We will not stop providing builds on our website. If you would like to run the absolute latest code or just don't want to use Google Play to manage Dolphin, you can still download Dolphin here.

3. ANY BUILD OF DOLPHIN ON THE PLAY STORE THAT IS NOT FROM THE LINK ABOVE IS NOT ENDORSED BY US AND MAY CONTAIN MALWARE.




Small note: Please ignore the reviews as these reviews were written using a build that is years old. Come to these forums if you want information on how well the app works.

Thank you. When will it be available for the Nvidia Shield? Dolphin does not come up in the search results when on the Shield.

You can install by clicking on the link above, press install, and select your Nvidia Shield. Currently the app has not been approved for distribution on the ATV Play Store, but that won't prevent from being installed from the Play Store via the web.

I did look at doing that initially. I uninstalled it on my Shield, but it still says it is installed when I go to the link above. Not sure why..

The initial upload didn't pass the automated testing for the TV setup, so they rejected the change (which in turn doesn't show it on search results if you use a TV device).
We're on it, but we don't know how long it will take.

Until then, you can just install the build from our site (as mentioned above).

Thanks Jack. I will just continue to update as I did before until it is available in the store.

Would it be possible to add the stick radius option into the controller setting? It doesn't save if I edit it in the config file.

It would be tricky to do that right now due to how the controls are coded on Android. Hopefully it'll be possible at some point in the future, but I can't guarantee anything.

There are tutorials with several ways to force download by the playstore.
Try some of them ...

Why dont they just sideload it. This seems more complicated than just getting the apk.
