How do i use memory breakpoints in dolphin?

I'm running Dolphin v2.0 and I wanted to know how would do you use memory breakpoints? There was some basic tutorial that stated to make a file called "GameConfig/Breakpoints.ini" for function breakpoints and "GameConfig/MemoryChecks.ini" for memory breakpoints. Making a "Breakpoints.ini" file and placing the locations I want the function to break in that file will show up when I press the "Add BPs" button on the Breakpoints tab, but there is no option to do the same for memory breakpoints. I don't know if it's that this build doesn't have it or that I'm doing something wrong, or perhaps it's something i'm NOT doing or what. Any help is appreciated.

I have not been able to get memory breakpoints to work in Dolphin. When I set a memory breakpoint (using the memory breakpoints window or the ini), Dolphin breaks on the instruction after the memory has been accessed. This bug is not that easy to fix - it is a bit of a design problem in Dolphin.

What I resort to doing is to modify the source code to break at the memory location I am interested in. The functions to change are ReadFromHardware and WriteToHardware in MemoryFunctions.cpp.

I don't have a memory breakpoints window =0\. Or is the the window that simply has "Delete" "Clear all" "Add BP" "Add BPs"? Maybe i have an old build or something

Yes, that's the one. I haven't been able to get it to work that well...
