We wrote an entire article about this, so be sure to read that here if you haven't already.īut with loss, some new has also come.
If you read the last Progress Report, you'd know that Windows 7 was already on shaky terms due to rampant breakages, but it was Qt6 that finally ended the legacy operating systems.
Dolphin's development builds officially dropped support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 in 5.0-16393 when the Windows buildbots were updated to use Qt6.
We also have a wide variety of emulation fixes, more graphics mods added, and the long awaited SD card "folder" feature!Īll of that and it's our job to write about it.
If you're looking for an easier way to setup a wide variety of controllers, a new SDL2 controller backend has been added for all OSes, and even brings native motion control support without the use of a DSU server to non-Linux operating systems. They also brought their graphics expertise to improve things for everyone, greatly reducing the remaining causes of shader based delays/stuttering when using Ubershaders. macOS users in general will be able to rejoice with the addition of a brand new Metal backend brought to us by veteran developer TellowKrinkle. albeit a bit delayed.Īs such, we've got a huge smattering of changes to go over and many smaller ones that we couldn't quite fit in. Still, the show must go on, and we're here. While sometimes the question is what do we put into the Progress Report, during the summer months it's usually how much can we fit into the Progress Report?
