Hey there, I just downloaded (from github) and compiled dolphin (since the version of the official ubuntu repos is old and the ppa doesn't seem to be workable with 20.04). Is there a way to tell exactly what version this is so that I can tell my friend (who is on windows) what version to get so that we can do netplay?

I see that the latest development version on the download page is 5.0-12298, is that what version I'm running on my end? When running on my end it just says 5.0 Branch: Master: Revision 5.0 (no further info), so I'm not sure how to tell?

If you want Dolphin to be able to determine its version number, you need to build it from a git repository. (Perhaps you downloaded a zip file of the source code instead of using git clone.) But if you downloaded the latest version of master, then the version you have is the latest development version.

Yeah I was feeling lazy and was already at github so I downloaded the zip instead of cloning the git. This answers my question perfectly, thanks!

I'm new to the forums, is there a way to mark this as solved?

No, there's no tracking of "solved status" here on the forums.
