Installing newer builds on Linux - jayjr1105 - 05-12-2020

Is it possible to get something newer than 5.0 installed on a debian Linux distro? Gamecube runs poorly on an i5 6300U (HD520 iGPU) with 8GB RAM and I feel it should be better. I have a mini PC with an i5 4570T that runs GC flawlessly.

All the how-to's I found online simply use the generic
Code:
apt install dolphin-emu
Is there a way to force newer builds?

You'll have to either download the source code and compile it yourself or add the ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa repository, then install the package dolphin-emu-master.

You can use this guide to compile Dolphin from source. Use the Ubuntu instructions https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Building_Dolphin_on_Linux

Debian doesn't have PPAs, those are an Ubuntu thing. You're best off building from source

phi1997's method worked, I just added the -master after dolphin-emu and it's on a more recent release now.  Running KDE neon which is Ubuntu LTS based btw.
