No more Windows Support?

[Kurausukun]

Since you don't like having fun, I'll just say this: Building Dolphin on Windows is not a very difficult process. All you need is Visual Studio 2017, which is free if you get the community edition which is all you need for this. The steps for building are on the GitHub page, but basically once you've installed VS2017, you double click the .sln file, change the target build from debug to release, and hit the build button. In fact, it's even easier than it was a month or two ago since we removed D3D12.

As for your problem of having ROMs crash, here are my suggestions to fix it:

1. Reset your entire Dolphin config (just delete the "Dolphin Emulator" folder in your Documents directory)
2. Before you assume an update is going to fix your problem, try downgrading. I don't know if the version you have posted in your profile is still current, but you should try 5.0 stable and see if the bug happens there, and if it does, bisect it since it might be an actual bug with Dolphin that needs to be reported. Also, while there are no builds for the past few days, you can still download up to 5.0-4607, so if you haven't already tried that it's worth a go.

Nah, there is no need to update Dolphin with every single update. I often just update Dolphin once every few weeks (or after a monthly report when reading about these awesome fixes). I am to lazy to build it myself for now as there is no urgency for having THE LATEST. Dolphin works amazingly as it is now, what possibly update could make it magically make it 50% faster overnight? Unless we are talking about Ubershaders, I realllllyy like them (through I noticed it is not supposed to be faster, just less stuttering)!

Glory to Windows! The Windows buildbots are working once again!

I have downloaded VS2017 and it crashed.
And I can not find JIT on any other system,JIT is Windows only?

cuthead, you have already made a thread about this, please don't cross post into other threads!

Since the buildbot is back up, there isn't really any reason for this thread to be open, so I'm just going to close it!
