Error Message on Mac

[MomoTheSlav]

I recently got interested into Dolphin, but only recently decided to try it out. I downloaded the latest beta version (at the time 5.0-13603) and tried it out. When I double-clicked on Dolphin its said
"Dolphin cannot open this program because it's from an unidentified developer". I right-clicked it and pressed open, but it brought me to this message:

Dolphin cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Dolphin works with this version of macOS. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and macOS.

My computer stats are in my profile. My Mac is updated and can be updated no further. I am being particularly descriptive because I am a noob. Next, I decided to get the stable version (5.0) and Dolphin loaded up - but when I tried to play SSBM, Dolphin loaded a black screen and gave me this error message:

"IntCPU: Unknown instruction 00000000 at PC = 00000000 last_PC = 00000000 LR = 00000000"

It gives me two options: No, or Yes. Interestingly, if I press No, the program crashes and I get a message "The program closed unexpectedly." But if I press Yes, then the program closes, but doesn't give me the "The program closed unexpectedly." message. Afterwords, I saw on the Dolphin Download page that:

"The beta versions require the 64-bit Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 to be installed."

I saw some tutorials, but none of them mentioned this program for Mac. I tried to download it, but it's only available for 1.13.0 Mac users or higher. I have 1.12.6. What should I do? Is there a problem on my end? I've heard of people with similar problems, but reading some threads, I have had no results. Please help.

Sincerely,
MomoTheSlav

VisualStudio is only needed for Windows.

Do not rely on the right click trick. It is better to go into System Preferences --> Security & Privacy and approve the app that way. Especially with the recent changes to sudo.

Redownload the latest beta and try running dolphin in your Application folder.

If that doesn't work, then open up Terminal and type sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Dolphin.app (change as needed if it is in a different place). If *that* fails, I'm at a loss as to how to help you.

I looked at your profile, but it didn't show your system specifications.

This above, as well as:

Code:

sudo xattr -cr "/Applications/Dolphin Updater.app"

Thank you for the reply! I am unfamiliar with Terminal, but I went onto Terminal and typed what you said. Terminal responded with "Password: " I entered my password (which didn't show up) and pressed return, but it just opened a new line to write on. I pressed the up arrow once and it filled in "sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Dolphin.app" Which is what I wrote earlier. I pressed the up arrow key again, and it filled in "/Applications/Dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/Dolphin ; exit;" and ran the command. It just brought up the error message:


"Dolphin could not be opened because of a problem."


I noticed something very interesting, though. After running "/Applications/Dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/Dolphin ; exit;" it showed me this:

It says the program was built for Mac OS X 10.13. I only have 10.12.6. Dolphin version 5.0 opened, so I'm wondering: At which version did they upgrade to 10.13? I want the newest version I can get with my computer. It'll probably give me a better chance. I still have hope this'll work, but I need some help.

Install the latest available beta or development build (The macOS development builds are a little bit behind the windows and android builds currently - not sure why but are still very current).

Edit: Sorry, I had totally misread your post and got the macOS version you are running and the macOS build version turned around. Unfortunately, I have no idea which ones would work on 10.12.6.

[MomoTheSlav]

I downloaded the latest beta version available - "5.0-13603". When I run the terminal command you provided, I see that it is made for Mac 10.13. Is there any way to tell which version was made for Mac 10.12.6 and below? Also, you mentioned not being able to see my computer stats so here they are:

Operating System: macOS Sierra - Version 10.12.6
Processor/CPU: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Video Card/GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
Memory/RAM: 4G 1333 MHz DDR3
Dolphin Revision Currently Using: Dolphin 5.0

I don't really use Dolphin yet, though. I deleted version 5.0 and tried to get the newest beta but with no luck. Again, I believe this is because it's made for 10.13. If I can't figure out a way to tell which versions of Dolphin work for my computer, Mac 10.12.6 Sierra, then I'll go through the beta list one-by-one, manually checking. I'm just wondering: at which version did they make the change? Downloading the newest beta says for Mac 10.13, but downloading version 5.0 still works. I'm trying to find a middle ground. Also, I really appreciate you taking the time to help!

I think I'll start a thread asking about which versions work for my computer. Thank you for the tips!
