Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I currently have 7 C++ redistributables, but I've heard that you only need like 1 or 2. Which redistributables do I need to run either a dev or stable build of Dolphin?

For stable: 2017, x64. (The installer installs this automatically for you if you don't already have it.)

For the latest development build: 2019, x64. (Unless you want to run it on an ARM64 device, in which case you'll want ARM64 instead of x64, but I'm assuming that you're not doing that.)

All you need on Windows x86-64 is the "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" x64 runtime. You can get it here (labeled x64). And that's it really! You should get everything else from Windows Update (stuff like, D3D updates) or your graphics drivers.
