Dolphin installation guide with Scoop

Guide for Cemu

Quick Start from cmd (if you know what you are doing)

• powershell
• set-executionpolicy remotesigned -scope currentuser
• iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')
• scoop bucket add games
• scoop install dolphin-dev

Prerequisites

• PowerShell 3 or newer, usually included with Windows 10, Windows 8 and installable for Windows 7

Guide

1. Follow Scoop's Quick Start to install Scoop.
2. With PowerShell open, type scoop bucket add games to add the games bucket.
3. Type scoop install dolphin-dev to install the latest development version of Dolphin.
   • To get Dolphin 5 (stable), the equivalent command is scoop install dolphin, however you will not get the latest features.
   • If you install Dolphin 5, use dolphin instead of dolphin-dev in the commands below
4. Dolphin is now available as a shortcut in your Start Menu, and at [Your user directory]\scoop\apps\dolphin-dev\current.

If Dolphin does not launch, you need to install Visual C++ Redistributable 2017. This is installable through Scoop as follows:

1. Run scoop bucket add extras
2. Run scoop install vcredist2017

Notes

• Run scoop update dolphin-dev to update Dolphin to the latest version. This should work even if this bucket is not updated.
• Run scoop cleanup dolphin-dev to remove old versions of Dolphin after updating.
• To fully remove all versions of Dolphin, type scoop cache rm dolphin-dev then scoop uninstall dolphin-dev -p.
• If you have any problems with using Dolphin through Scoop, please submit an issue here.

Custom versions

• Install any version by typing scoop install dolphin-dev@version.

  e.g scoop install dolphin-dev@5.0-6255

• Very old versions of Dolphin may not work with this.

• To change the installed Dolphin version used for shortcuts after installing a different version, run scoop reset dolphin-dev@version.
