Help installing/running in linux64

05-03-2009, 09:11 AM #1

ok so i downloaded dolphin-3091-release.tar.bz2, extracted the files, now what the hell do i do lol. Sorry new to linux but installed a 64bit version, since dolphin runs like crap fried twice on 32bit, on my anything PC so i can play my gamecube/Wii games while kids use the TV.

WHAT DO I DO!!

btw i use Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit version Debian base

First of all

1. If it runs like "crap fried twice" on 32-bit, and 64-bit is only like 10% faster, don't expect a huge improvement.
2. Don't expect this to be a reliable method of playing games yet even if you have the performance.

That said,
Running the binary should be no harder than it is on windows.
1.After you extract it, go to the folder "Binary"
2. Then the folder "Linux-x86_64"
3. And then double click on "Dolphin" to run the program. It should automatically have the executable permission set, if not, right click and go into properties.

If Dolphin, or its plugins, fail to work, try installing all the dependencies.

From the terminal (under applications, accessories) enter:
sudo apt-get install subversion scons g++ wx2.8-headers libwxbase2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-dbg libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dbg libwxgtk2.8-dev libsdl1.2-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit libxxf86vm1-dbg libxxf86vm-dev libxext6-dbg libxext-dev libglew1.5-dev libcairo2-dbg libcairo2-dev libao2 libao-dev libbluetooth-dev

Also, since you are new to linux, make sure you have the ati/nvidia driver installed under hardware drivers (system, administration, hardware drivers.)
