Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Latest version of dolphin wont open at all help please.

Are you talking about version 4.0-6080? It works fine for me, meaning it's a system issue on you side.
What version of Windows are you on?
Have you checked Windows update for any optional or recommended updates?

doing that now. I upgraded to the latest .net framework im on windows 8. The lastest stable version works for me but not the most recent release. Windows seems to be up to date. I recently installed java jdk and git I dont think that would affect anything would it? Where can I view crash logs?

Those installs shouldn't affect it. Try going back a few versions from the latest and see if that works.
