Where do I donate?

We're not taking donations.

git clone https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.git
git checkout tags/5.0
(build steps)

Thank you, that worked (not too familiar with git). I'm guessing that's a common use in git? I added this to the wiki build instructions. Hope that's okay.


For building the current stable (5.0) instead of the most current development build; run the following command

<code>git checkout tags/5.0

Just found a little error in the installer

Did you have a version of Dolphin installed prior to this? It might have reused the old folder in case you did.

Is it safe to install 5.0 on top of 4.0-8987 to the same directory, or should I unistall the old version it and reinstall 5.0 fresh?

The dev builds aren't installed like a program, since they are just unzipped into a directory.
We generally discourage installing over a previous build of Dolphin as sometime it causes file conflicts, especially when it comes to game-specific .INI files.

Doing that with a dev build is no good, but doing it with a stable build with an installer is fine, because the installer will automatically delete the old files.

I did not know that.
But since he wants to install over a dev build it does still pertain to his issue

[JosJuice]

It would probably work fine in this case, but I really don't recommend using the installer to install over a dev build.

Hope those hotkey issues are at last solved!
