Dolphin Wiki

[John Peterson]

Dolphin Wiki logo

It has been suggested that a wiki is placed alongside the forums, at dolphin-emu.com/wiki. Here's a logo that can be used for it. Update: Here's another Dolphin Wiki thread that I didn't see before.

MediaWiki Installation

1. Unzip mediawiki-1.15.1.tar.gz to the target directory ./w/ (relative to DocumentRoot)
2. Unzip the attached wiki.zip to ./w/. It has the logo, icon and the extensions ParserFunctions-MW1.15-r50579.tar.gz, StringFunctions-MW1.15-r47913.tar.gz, CharInsert-MW1.15-r47913.tar.gz, Cite-MW1.15-r48711.tar.gz, Extension:VideoFlash, StubManager-1.3.2.tgz, HttpImage.0.1.tar.gz.
3. Visit the wiki and configure it for the first time
4. Copy ./w/config/LocalSettings.php to ./w/LocalSettings.php
5. Edit ./w/LocalSettings.php as shown below
6. Add "Alias /wiki /var/www/w/index.php" to httpd.conf. Or these mod_rewrite commands to the root .htaccess to be able to use the standard address.
7. Install rsvg with "sudo apt-get install librsvg2-bin" if it's not already installed. Inkscape will also work, "sudo apt-get install inkscape", although an .inkscape and .gnome2 dir is needed because of a bug.

It would certainly help with maintaining status reports on individual games.

Threads here are thousands of revisions out of date when you look at the first post, often describing problems that have been long resolved.

I'm thinking along those lines too. I think it will turn into a valuable, comprehensive, organized and up-to-date compatibility list in a short period of time.

Ask emucraze people to host it, at least they could finally be useful ;p

I'm not familiar with them. Would they be interested in hosting it? In any case, if anyone wants to write a compatibility report in the MediaWiki interface, there is a temporary wiki here: dolphin-emu.wikia.com.

You won't believe, but you are, one is above you

Just remember , don't use the damn logo outside the Dolphin-emu.com domains .Someone won't be happy with that

[omegadox]

John, try to get in contact with Mdkcheatz, I have deleted him from my MSN and quit Emucraze.

[LuisR14]

If I may, periods (.) go at the "end" of sentences, not at the beginning of new ones. Also, commas (,) go at the end of the word, not a space after the word. I only felt the need to post this as I've seen you do this all over the forum for many months now and it looks rather ridiculous. If you're still confused, look at how I used commas and periods here.
