Releases are created every few months, usually accompanied by a Progress Report article. Use the latest release if you prefer stability over the newest features in the development versions.

Development versions

Development versions are released every time a developer makes a change to Dolphin, several times every day! Using development versions enables you to use the latest and greatest improvements to the project. However, they are less tested than releases.

Linux users can add the following Flatpak repository: https://flatpak.dolphin-emu.org/dev.flatpakrepo

The Windows development versions require the 64-bit Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 to be installed.
