Question about dolphin-emu version

[dancaer69]

Hello,
I installed and use dolphin-emu the last days, and I have a question.
I installed it through arch linux repository. The version is "Dolphin [makepkg] 5.0-7309". Because I had some minor issues I decided to try a newer version.
I've searched in aur but the git version(which was newer) had to updated 1 year. So I tried to download and build it from github.
I cloned the master repo and I built it as portable application. I successfully run it but I found that the version is 5.0.
So I don't know If I have the latest version which seems to be 5.0-10881(from downloads section).
Am I built an older version? I downloaded from here:
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin
using "clone or download" button.

Can you post a screenshot of the Help > About dialog?

Is easier and faster for me to just write what the info window displays:

Code:

Dolphin
5.0
Branch master
Revision 5.0 (no further info)
Dolphin is a free and open source software.......

There aren't any other information after that.

Ah, so it's "5.0 (no further info)". That's rather different from 5.0. You most likely built the latest version, but Dolphin is not able to know which version it is because you didn't clone the git repository. If you want the correct version information, Dolphin needs to be built from a git repository and git needs to be installed.

Ok, I will try it. Thanks

I cloned it like this:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.git /home/archzaxus/build/dolphin-emu-master
without "--depth 1" needed to download more files and download speed was very low(11-13 kb/s of 1200/1300 which is the full speed).
At this time the version is different:

Code:

Dolphin
3848f6d
Branch: master
Revision: 3848f6d9ecbc590a1f81295d5a538b573acac114
