I was told that this would take no coding skill but I was definately frustrated. I'very been trying to figure out how to Cherry Pick 5.0-1087 into 4.0-9075 but I just don't get how. Every single video tutorial on doing this appears to be running on a Mac computer and I have watched any of these 20 minute long videos but they are just to confusing.
Can anyone guide me on how because nothing is working here and this is literally the only thing missing from 4.0-9075... I'll get off of everybody's back if this is resolved. I'm begging you
Are you currently able to run git from the command-line? Have you cloned the Dolphin repository? (I'm asking so we can know more about which parts you have problems with.)

The problem is that I don't know what any of this means :^(
Let's start with a simpler question, then: Have you installed git on your computer?
(By the way, am I correct if I assume that you're using Windows?)

Yes and yes
If you start git, do you get a command line prompt, or a normal looking window? If there's a normal looking window, does it have an option anywhere for cloning a repository?

Which git is it? I have Git Bash, Git CMD, and Git GUI
Okay, you have all of those, that's nice. Git Bash is the command line prompt for git. (Git CMD is also a command line prompt for git, but let's not use it.) For now, I suggest starting up Git GUI. It will ask if you want to create, clone or open a repository. Pick clone, then set the source location to
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.git and set target directory to wherever you want to store the Dolphin repository on your computer.

Whenever I selecta folder in target directory but it says it already exists
After the clone is done (it takes a little while), I think the repository will open in Git GUI. (If it doesn't, just pick open, I suppose.) Once you're in there, pick Git Bash from the Repository menu in the top-left. This will open Git Bash with the current directory set to your clone of Dolphin. (You can also open Git Bash directly without going through Git GUI, but then you have to navigate to the right folder yourself.) Once you're in Git Bash, it's time to actually use git cherry-pick. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly how to use it. Please write another post if you need help on how to use it (or if you need help with any of the earlier parts).

Then pick a folder that doesn't exist. (Or delete the folder that you already have picked)
