Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

So.. I found this: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin

But I'm not sure which link specifically I'd put into my SVN client to only get the emulator..

Any suggestions ? :-)

Dolphin doesn't use SVN for code and revision management anymore. It uses Git. Get yourself a git client and point it to this -> https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.git

If you just want to get pre-built versions of Dolphin, go here -> https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

well I'll tell you.. I don't really know what I'm talking about..

so I'll tell you what I do in other cases & see if you have any more advice..

In the past elsewhere people have linked.. various links.. some to github..

I've been able to copy the link.. use TortoiseSVN & set it up to update to a folder that I specify..

Are those Gits setup in such a way to allow that ?

I could show an example or two if it might help.

Meh I'll just do it anyway..

Here's an example of what I'd "like" to do

You can access GitHub with a regular SVN client.
When you checkout a GitHub SVN repo with TortoisSVN, you can select the repository URL, the Checkout directory and Checkout Depth together with revisions.

Well, github supports SVN, apparently. You just need to point your SVN client to https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin. I guess you should put this as the "URL of repository" or a similar option when you try to checkout Dolphin.

tyvm :-)

so I gave the link a click to see what it looked like I'd be getting..

I don't understand.. is that a linux install ?

ideally the link would point to a windows install I could then update at will as updates were released..

Well, are you trying to build Dolphin from the source code? Or do you just want the latest builds (already made for Windows and ready to play)?

This ^

My idea is.. since Dolphin doesn't seem to update itself.. I'm looking for a classy way to update it without watching for & downloading new builds..

/shrug it's what I'm used to doing with files like the one I had linked above..

And maybe it's not possible with the way these folks have their setup.. which is okay.. I just thought I'd ask :-)

Well, using SVN or Git really isn't the best way to do what you want to do. That's for updating and managed Dolphin's code, not getting an up-to-date executable, unless you plan to build Dolphin from source code. You could make your own local build-bot (like Dolphin's website has), but that seems kind excessive.

IMO, you're better off just updating Dolphin manually like once a month (or whatever interval suits your needs, day, week, fortnight, whatever) rather than always trying to get the very latest all the time, but that's just my perspective. If you did it once a month, you could read up on the progress reports that come out at the end of every month and get a good idea of some of the notable changes that have happened since last month.

Someone put a batch file somewhere that pulled the latest dev from the official buildbot and then triggered 7zip to decompress it. I can't exactly remember how the first bit was done, though.
