How to build Dolphin in Windows

Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition download page: http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/default.aspx

no entinedo un carajo

yo tampoco entiendo... :S alguien puede explicarlo en algún idioma terrestre?? Gracias

Instala Visual Studio 2005/-2008 Utiliza Tortoise SVN para descargar las revisiones a tu PC Para utilizar Tortoise lo que se debe hacer es ir a una carpeta de exploradaor de windows (con el programa previamente instalado) y apretar "archivo ---> Tortoise SVN --> Importar y colocar "http://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/" sin las comillas poner el numero de revision que se desee descargar y proceder a descargar

Para compilar

Se debe tener las librerias SDK de microsoft instaladas y bien linkeadas a tu proyecto

Now in ENGRISH! xD

First Download Tortoise SVN (32bit or 64bit depends on your OS) Tortoise SVN is not a stand-alone application it runs using Windows explorer

To download a revision

-Open a Windows Explorer sesion -Press file --> Tortoise SVN --> Import -In the Addres box put "http://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/" without the " " -Then imput the revision number you want to download. don't forget to Specify the destination folder

To compile you need Visual Studio 2005/-2008 Make sure you have the latest Microsoft SDK installed and your libraries are linked properly to the project

Press file --> Tortoise SVN --> Checkout (was what worked for me ;)

I cant get it to work! I download all those files and im trying to use visual c++ 2008 express and I get the "Cannot find the file specified" error! Help!

ya theres a password on it

witch one of Visual studio 2008 you need?

"Microsoft SDK" QUE ES EXACTAMENTE ME DICE QUE ES ALGO DEL SERVER???? LO INSTALO DE TODAS FORMAS AYUDENME

Thank you, Guys. =) I kinda got tired of converting the project to MVS 2008 each and every time i checked out a new release. (I had to remove the older one every time you made changes to the project file since it was converted from MVS 2005 to 2008)

alguien sabe cual es el password y lacontraseña para bajar el source, ya que quiero compilarlo y a si poder tenerlo actualizado.

Seems like it can't be compiled in VC2008 Express, apparently can't use ATL.

Fails when trying to compile on VC2008 Express. Log file points to afxres.h. Looks like it can't be loaded.

Why this won't compile in VC 2008 Express? It will NOT compile in VC 2008 Express edition. It will not work.

Visual C++ 2008 Express does not include ALTMFC libraries, you will not be able to compile Plugin_VideoDX9, Plugin_DSP_HLE, Plugin_DSP_LLE, or DolphinWX. If you have another version of visual studio that has the altmfc libraries you can compile with VC++ Express

so there is no way to compile the whole thing with visual studio express 2008?

At the top it says you can use visual studio express but the only thing that wouldnt work is a useless plugin?

it says it MAY work, but it doesn't and I've not been able to compile it using VC2008 (Full not EE)

i get loads of errors when rebuilding the full project with microsoft visual studio 2008(FULL) i can only see the binary with a plugins map and no dolphinwx and such. what do i do wrong????? and can someone tell me if i even am using the right one??? and if not wich one should i buy/use???

oh and its visual studio 2008 professional edition plz help because i want to have the latest versions. the sites dont really keep up with the vast going SVN's so i want to compile it myself. the instructions on how to compile and what would be the result and what i need to do with it arent clear

plzzzz i beg someone to help me. i will reward him with a special dolphin trick for mario galaxy, to show hidden textures, (witch i will show on the ngemu forums later) and even free payd programs, (legally bought) (not the one on ngemu) (i am the first one)

you must go under options...then you must include the include and the library files from directX SDK !!

asdolf thanks for the help,but i dont understand what you mean. i am still an extreme noob at visual basic. ok i can find the options and then what??? what do i need to click??????? plz help sdolf i would be so thankfull. and the trick for mario galaxy is a hidden settings trick. i am working on the screenshots and video so i can clearly show and prove it^-

Someone plz help i still dont know how to compile the source with visual studio 2008 if i press rebuild and look at the result, i only get binary map with only the plugins map in it?!

asdolf plz explain what you mean, i dont understand, since i am a noob with visual studio 2008, i can find the options but then what???

when i try to donwload it, it asks for a username and password could someone tellme what they are

For those of you who are having problems where some of the parts fail when you go to rebuild it. You most likely do not have the DirectX SDK directories in the include paths in visual studio. Here is what to do. First go to Tools at the top of the screen, then click on options. On the left pane there is a category named "Projects and Solutions" click the arrow next to it and then select the sub-category titled "VC++ Directories". Then on the left side you should see 2 drop down boxes above the paths. Click the one on the right named "Show Directories For:" and select executable files first and add C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (November 2008)\Utilities\Bin\x86 Then under theh drop down box select "include files" enter C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (November 2008)\Include Then, in the drop down box select "Library Files" enter C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (November 2008)\Lib\x86

Then close visual studio re-open it and select the dolphin solution and make sure at the top of the screen next to the play looking button where it has 2 drop downs it says release instead of debug and win32 next to it. Then in the left pane the "solution explorer" right click on "solution 'Dolphin' (# projects)" and select rebuild solution. After this is done go back to your explorer window and go to the directory you downloaded all the svn files to and go to ..\Binary\Win32 and there you have your new dolphin build.

Thanks amandel12! it worked =D I owe you one ^. if i could something in return then just tell please ;)

but one question whats the difference with the debug mode? i know one difference without debug mode the compiling go's faster but what else? just question, you dont need to answer it if you dont want to :D

aw. it only gave me less errors amandel12 it didnt work. still only getting the plugins folder in the binary map :( someone plz help

Yes it worked! Just follow his instructions. When i first tried it, it didn't work, it only gave 2 less errors. But then i checked the options again and i found out i had done it wrong.

..... sorry for bothering again but well i indeed did wrong but since i now corrected it. i get more plugins in the win32\plugins map. but i am still not getting the rest in the binary win32 map. i am getting the exe and the rest of the files wich should be in the win32 map i do have a bit less errors and warnings. getting: 4 errors and 104 warnings

I don't know why you are getting errors, send me your build log and ill look at it

Am i doing something wrong? Sometimes it compiles with no errors but sometimes it give two errors.

Make sure that you remove any kind of direct references to the Microsoft Platform SDK from your VC++ Directories, especially older version. They gave me a huge load of errors because I still had the Platform SDK version 6 installed. By removing those references and restarting VC++ afterwards, Dolphin now compiles fine. Well, with a huge load of warnings, but it compiles ;)

it always give me 14 ok and 5 failed

I got a ton of warnings also, but no errors. And it works flawlessly.

can anyone make a video on how to compile dolphin source code because i cant do it

my version stopped at 15 done and 4 failed

Error: 19>.\DolphinWX.rc(10) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.

please help

c'mon you guys, post a video, i've been here reading all the instructions and still not work.

I didn't understand one thing, the express visual C++ doesn't compile? If it don't where do i get a version that works?

You must pay for the non-express version or download a build that someone else has compiled, e.g. Builds by Daco: http://www.nyleveia.com/daco/

Thank's mate, works fine.

I am able to build the 32bit binaries without a problem. However, when I go to build the x64 ones, it just reports that it skipped 20 items.

Vista Ultimate 64bit, VC++ 2008, SDK 6.1A, SDK 6.0, SDK for Windows 2003, SDK for DX (Nov 2008), .NET 3.5 SP1

Under Tools->Options->Projects->VC++ Dirs, it does not list 64bit as a platform, only win32 and a bunch of mobile platforms

Installing SP1 for VS 2008 fixed my problem. If others have my problem, I suggest installing SP1

SP1 (service pack 1) ???? as you mean vista Service pack one. or does Visual Studio has a service pack? and if yes could you give me a download link to the service pack update?

VS 2008 has SP1 out for all but the Team System (So, Standard, Architecture, Pro, etc all have SP1)

Wait a sec! the team system? so it's not available for download? (i mean like update not as in illigal) Or do i have to buy SP1?

because i dont know i have VS 2008 PRO (bought it just for dolphin :D and for later use, maybe i will join dolphin team when i got the skills as i have a lot and i mean a lot of free time :D

well back to the part. You are saying that VS 2008 has SP1 already included in PRO?

All of the Service packs are FREE for VS 2008 just download them from Microsoft

YAJ! :D Thx Frank! going at lightspeed to Microsoft now ;P

Could I use freeware app, if yes can you all recommend it.

I cannot debug with the above instruction. However, i can pass the compile......What happened?

My software configuate: Vista Ultimate, Visual C++ 2008 express SP1, TortoiseSVN, DX SDK

monkey80gm, i use linux, slackware 12.2 and i can compile with no problems. The dolphin works in the same speed in windows and linux for me.

Ok so i downloaded the full Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Not express but the full version) To clarify some things i have:

Vista x64 SP1 with all updates

Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (and not 2005 no other things than that, its newly formated)

I've added the DirectX (november 2008) libraries to executables and libraries

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (November 2008)\Lib\x64 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (November 2008)\Lib\x86

When compiling the x64 versions I get a quick result of 21 skipped. However when making the Win32 Release version I get 15 compiled 6 skipped.

Can anybody help? Got the same thing with Visual Studio 2008 express (which is now completely uninstalled, restarted the computer too after uninstallation.

I want to put up a ftp that automatically compiles the latest version of the source and puts it there. (will build a script)

I appreciate all help.

Error (========== Rebuild All: 16 succeeded, 5 failed, 0 skipped ==========)

My build log that i got in the compile window: http://www.speedyshare.com/148885869.html

Buildlog generated in the source folder http://www.speedyshare.com/514752222.html

Can anybody spot the problem?

I only get the plugins folder

EDIT:

I solved it, i got errors with .h file extensions and i noticed that I had not included the "include" files.

I Not have User And Password Please Send Me

Ok manos a la obra , a programar se ha dicho

16 succeeded, 6 failed, 1 skipped. Am i doing something wrong?

Amandel12, can you help me? I don't know what am I doing wrong. First things first. I have Dolphin SVN R1713 on a windows xp 32 bits (moving to a 64). The rar file I downloaded from the official Dolphin page have inside a folder named Win32. I already have everything installed, even materkey.bin. Then, I did the SVN checkout with Tortoise, and I already had downloaded the files to either Win32\Dolphin-emu (the default option) and to Win32, only. I opened dolphin.sfn with visual c++ express, had the three paths alright, marked release and rebuild the Solution Dolphin. I got 13 successes and 9 erros. But the funny thing is, when I get to new Binary folder, created after compiling, and then I open the also new Win32 folder, there's only one folder, named Plugin. To tell you the truth, I tried three times in this folder structure: C:\Binary\Win32\Dolphin-emu. I did the SVN checkout in the three levels of this structure but I still don't get my new Dolphin.exe compiled, the one that was suposed to be in the Binary\Win32 folders. I just got the original one, the comes with the rar file, and when i use it, with Super Paper Mario, from wii, it says the is missing the filename dynamic library, and can't iniate the core. What am I doing wrong? To make it short, I have everything new, SDK's, Visual C++, tortoise and DirectX. Could this be because of Dolphin 1713? Should it be an older version?

Same problem

Found a problem. You need to BUY Visual Studio 2008 Pro not VC++ Express

I have compiled it without problem, but I don;t see any execuable file created?

''Select Release and x64 if possible'' I don't get this part...

visual c++ express does not support compiling to 64-bit afaik

I get compiling problems similar to those mentioned by many others. I'm using VS2008 SP1 with Nov 08 DirectX SDK and trying to compile x64 but I end up only getting some of the plugins.

I finally got it compiled for x86 with VC++ Express:

I followed the directions to the tee, but when it says to Unload the Plugin_DSP_LLE project, (you'll see it in the left hand panel about halfway down) make sure you do this. Right click the Plugin_DSP_LLE project and then click Unload Project.

Now the step that says: "2. Select Release and x64 if possible, and choose Rebuild Solution." You'll find those drop down boxes near the top middle of the screen next to a green arrow labeled "Start Debugging". Select "Release" for the first drop down box, and Win32 for the second one (maybe you can get x64 to work by selecting that option instead of Win32?).

After that, goto Build > Rebuild Solution. After compiling I got

Bah. Got it working more or less. I had unknowingly added those Directx x64 directories to win32 platform instead of the x64 platform.

So far, I've compile the x86/32bit just fine and it works. But how do you compile the jitIL release?

seriously, every time i compile the JITIL release and load a game in it, the emulator always crashes, is there another way to compile it? Normal builds work just fine...

i even tried to build it with the ICC... same deal

Nevermind, I just compiled both normal and the JITIL release. So far, both works.

@chuuey Try disabling jit dynarec and it should run your game/rom fine. But then again, it is not stable. Anyway, that should avoid crashes on your JITIL compilation. Disabling/unchecking the "Enable the JIT dynarec".

yeah i tried that, thanks, but the interpreter mode is quite slow ;) besides i tried a compile from another user, and it worked, i just can't figure out why on earth every time i compile the IL version, it just won't work while the JIT one does lol ;) a mystery!

Es qu'il y a des français qui pourrais m'aider à configurer Dolphin ??

Utilise Google translate pour traduire: http://www.google.ca/language_tools?hl=fr

It's works For me, Thx , Just Follow the Instructions of amandel12. But i would Like to Know how to Build a 64Bit Dolphin. Thx for the Replies to my Email " virtualphenix@yahoo.com|".

I just want to add something. Well registering the DirectX SDK paths, don't forget to include them for both platforms, x86 and x64. I added both paths under x86 platform, this way I couldn't compile the x64 version.

I've been messing around this for more than an hour. I hope I can save some time for other people.

Can someone help me out plz. I installed everything but dolphin emulator doesnt work. It says:

17:53:609: 2 COMMON Exist: stat failed on ./User/Wii/shared1/content.map: The system cannot find the path specified.

17:53:953: 1 Warning: Hi,

Dolphin requires that your CPU has support for SSE2 extensions. Unfortunatly your CPU does not support them, so Dolphin will not run.

Sayonara!

Can someone tell me what i can do to make it work?

Buy a newer computer...

Error 3 error C2660: 'CMixer::PushSamples?' : function does not take 2 arguments c:\Documents and Settings\lundblom\Skrivbord\dolphin-emu-read-only\Source\Plugins\Plugin_DSP_HLE\Src\main.cpp 349 Plugin_DSP_HLE

What am I doing wrong?

Could you take something optimization for AMD CPU?

Cannot compile. I get a plugin_videodx9d.lib error, it seems it fails making the plugin. When I check the log there's I think 153 errors while compiling that plugin, then I get another error linking back to the plugin which isn't there. Then failing the compiling with 2 errors.

The error begins there...

etc.

More errors following that. Please help :[

I unloaded the plugin and it compiled without it. I would still like a fix if anyone can help.

Got some error at first, but after I moved up the DirectX SDK dependences (executables, includes, libraries) to the top of the directories lists in VS2008, compiles works fine for me. Hope this is helpful for some of you :)

i

guys i deleted something from VC++ directories and i got more errors can any 1 tell me where i can reset it

i compiled dolphin r3000 but when i tried to compile dolphin r1997 it didnt work . is anyone know why ?

good!! Now I understand how to do this!!

cannot opengl renderer. please help me. i havent got a clue what its going on about, does anybody know how i can recorrect this?

what do i do when it says "open with what?"

it works perfectly with me. and it took 10 minutes.

mee too! I had VS C++ 2008 Express already installed. I had to install DX9 SDK when I installed DarkGDK, so all prereqs were already installed. I just opened the project, changed the config to release, rebuilt solution, and boom in 15 mins I was already playing

thanks it worked correctly for me too. I just have a question, when i update sources, i have to recompile all the project every time? It takes a lot of time...

SOFTS NEEDED

1.VS2008 AND DIRECTX SDK MAR09

2.RapidSVN-0.9.8 AND ADD REPOSITORY

http://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

3.DONT DELETE ".SVN" FOLDERS INCASE MOVE TO NEW FOLDER BCOZ ITS NEEDED BY

SUBWCREV.EXE AND PEOPLE GET "COMMON.LIB" ERRROR BCOZ COMMON PROJECT IS NOT

COMPILED IF ".SVN" IS DELETED SO DONT DELETE IT WILL WRITE REVISION# IN ABOUT

BOX. IT SHOULD COMPILE WITHOUT ANY ERRORS DONT DELETE ".SVN" WHICH IS IN

SOURCE FOLDER IF U DELETE IN OTHER FOLDERS ITS OK IF U WANNA SAVE SPACE.

does compiling the build yourself have any advantages over simply downloading the same version?

For some reason, VC++ 2008 Express skips 30 builds and says "Project not selected to build for this solution configuration" when attempting to build Release >> x64 on a Windows XP x64 installation. I think it has something to do with the fact that the DirectX SDK seems to only install for x86 and not x64. What causes that? Thanks for your help.

this is stupid, dolphin should release compiled version for ppl that doesnt know all this stuff, its so hard to make an .exe? btw http://www.nyleveia.com/daco/ those compilations doesnt works...

You're stupid. There are lots of compiles done by the community, and if you don't get a step by step guide, I'm sorry, but you are screwed.

YOU CANNOT FULLY COMPILE DOLPHIN x32 OR COMPILE x64 AT ALL ON EXPRESS

If you want to compile Dolphin by yourself it is NECESSARY to have the PAID version of Visual Studio. Compiling x32 only results in you compiling the emulator and not the plugins since the libraries are not in express. Express doesn't compile x64 at all.

^ O RLY?

http://forums.dolphin-emu.com/thread-2291.html Take a better look around

Good job guys. Followed your instructions and everything worked great.

Keep up the good work!!!!

hmmm should i uninstall microsoft visual studio C++ 2005

for the microsoft visual studio C++ 2008 one ???

i really wanted to use dolphin emulator ..

Visual Studio C++ 2005 is obsolete, Microsoft doesn't even distribute it anymore. You'll have to update to 2008 to compile Dolphin, and you should definitely uninstall 2005 before you install 2008.

"wxWidget" is a solution folder, which isn't supported in Visual Studio 2008 Express. I got many link errors because lack of wxWidgets. Does it mean I must use trial edition of VS2008?

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and can build this in Win32. But when I select "x64" I get "Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 29 skipped", I went into tools>options>projects and solutions>VC++ Directories, but under platform there is only Win32 and a bunch of Windows Mobile platforms.

P.S. I'm running Visual Studio 2008 SP1

feralig...@163.com: attempting to get things working for vc++ express, r4051 can be compiled with express

shaneooconnor: you do not have the x64 libs installed, use your disc and do a custom install of vs to include the x64 libs

We've had some problems with the compiling recently, and things were in a bit of an unstable state this past week.

The good thing is that Dolphin.sln is back to normal, and you should be able to build just like in the past (as detailed above).

I followed instructions but still get only 17 files compiled, 10 files failed, 3 skipped on 32 bit XP and am using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. Is something wrong with the compiler??

what does it mean in step 6 when it says "elect Release and x64 if on a 64-bit platform?" is that the drop down menu in the directories setting window?

nevermind. i think i figured it out

Alright I got it working on x32 on XP - and yes you only need the Express Edition. Instructions may be confusing so this is for future reference for others:

When you go to Tools > Options > Projects > VC++ Directories, you must put it your SDK directory. Also, the executable, include and library drop down box things all have different paths so read it carefully. Then, press OK and find the green arrow near the top of the screen. It should say 'Debug'; change it to 'Release' and if you're using 32 bit, leave it on Win32. Then it's pretty straight forward, juts right click on Solution 'Dolphin' and choose Build Solution. If you make a mistake, correct it and then choose rebuild solution.

After it's done compiling, you'll find the actual dolphin.exe file in Binary/Win32

You can put the Win32 folder on your usb and run it on a different computer (even vista) and it'll still work.

What do i do to use Dolphin once i've done these steps? Where do i go on the computer to find it?

more do it more harder

<svn root dir>\Binary\<build type>\ to find Dolphin.exe/DolphinIL.exe

Hmm.... A mí sólo me aparecen los plugins de audio y video y unos cuantos archivos ¿Alguna sugerencia?

Well, following problem: i wan't to debug Dolphin in Visual Studio with break points, i test it with the about dialog and it works... but the real problem is, i cannot load the plugins in this debugmode :/ if i click on the Configuration, i get the error message like "Trying to read invalid SYSCONF" for 4 times...

I just tried it, all worked nicely until I clicked 'Build Solution'. After that, I get this... "Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 31 skipped"

Build Solution only compiles the sources once, if you want to rebuild the sources then use Rebuild Solution :P

No, probably Auld00.cm tried to build x64 without the x64 compiler installed...

godisgovernment, that sounds like it'd be it. Any help, just a point in the right direction?

Hope this can help you

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and tell you how it all turns out.

No luck. Having trouble extracting the VCProjectAMD64Platform.dll from vc_stdx86.cab. Argh. == Been using 7-zip, is there a different tool I should try?

Doing lots of manual stuff like renaming files and setting DX SDK project by project I could compile but I got stuck to:

Project: VideoCommon?

Error 1 error MSB4023: Cannot evaluate the item metadata "%(Extension)". The item metadata "%(Extension)" cannot be applied to the path ""D:\Downloads\dolphin-emu-read-only\Source\\..\Binary\x64\User\OpenCL\..\..\..\Data\User\OpenCL\TextureDecoder?.cl"". Illegal characters in path. D:\Downloads\dolphin-emu-read-only\Source\Core\VideoCommon?\OpenCL.targets 63 6 VideoCommon?

I can't find where to fix the double back-slash (which I think is the root of the cause).

I have a problem: I downloaded Dolphin r4710 in a folder with TortoiseSVN.After this, I open the project file Plugin_Wiimote??.vcproj (Source\Plugins\Plugin_Wiimote??) with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.....

I compile Plugin_Wiimote? but appear this message: 1>------ Inizio compilazione: Progetto: Plugin_Wiimote?, Configurazione: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Linking... 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'wxbase28ud.lib' 1>Build log was saved at "file:......\Source\Plugins\Plugin_Wiimote\Win32\Debug\BuildLog.htm" 1>Plugin_Wiimote? - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

You have to open Source\Dolphin.sln and build that. Preferably in one of the Release configurations.

Thanks a lot.....Now there aren't any errors, but I don't succeed to create the dll file, because they are created others files..... At the output of the compilation I see the writing: 7> Creating library Win32\Debug\Plugin_WiimoteD.lib and object Win32\Debug\Plugin_WiimoteD.exp How can I create the dll file? I still excuse me for the English and for my ignorance......

Why do you only want that DLL? Its usually part of SVN builds provided by various people, and its also part of the official distribution. You can find it in the Binary folder, depending on your build in Win32 or x64, and inside the Plugins folder. It wont help you on older versions, since the interface most probably changed since then.

Thank you, now I haven't any problems...... :) :) :)

How do you repair logs when you get error msgs?

Mine showed up like this vvv

The my problems made because I didn't open the file Dolphin.sln (it's the project to modify and to compile in the folder "Source") but I opened others projects...... I don't know if it is the same for you....... :)

Sorry it didn't help =(, but thanks for trying =). Well when i open my dolphin svn r 3972 and click the game i wanna play it pops up with the error msg

"can't create opengl renderer. You might be missing some required opengl extensions, check the logs for more info"

You need a new graphics card then. But first you might want to out a newer rev first.

No m8, just try to update ur videocard drivers ;)

Had to follow this guide to get x64 build running on Win7/x64 VC 2008 Express.

http://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/

viual basic 2008 express edition says that the file type is not supported in this version. which version fo i use?

You need Visual C++ Express.

Hi buddies,

I've managed to compile x86 version, but I just can't with x64 one. It just omites all the files.

I've done all the patch changing, and I've downloaded everything. But It carries on failing.

Any Idea?

Finally ! I Got it working.

HERE'S THE SOLUTION FOR YOU, X64 USERS AND DEVELOPERS:

1 - Install Visual C++ 2008 Express. (http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2008-Visual-Basic)

2 - Install Tortoise SVN x64. (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tortoisesvn/TortoiseSVN-1.6.7.18415-x64-svn-1.6.9.msi?download)

3 - Install Windows SDK. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c17ba869-9671-4330-a63e-1fd44e0e2505&displaylang=en)

4 - Install DirectX SDK. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b66e14b8-8505-4b17-bf80-edb2df5abad4&displaylang=en)

5 - Download and Decompress this: http://suma.soulogic.com/dl/VCE64BIT.zip

6 - With all that stuff installed, head to Start/Programs/Microsoft Windows SDK 6.1/CMD Shell

7 - Once in the console, search where you decompressed VCE64BIT.zip, and execute setup_x64.bat.

8 - When done, create a new folder somewhere on your computer, we'll call the folder "dolphin-emu-read-only" .

9 - Right-click on dolphin-emu-read-only and select svn checkout. For URL of repository enter http://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

10 - Open dolphin-emu-read-only\Source\Dolphin.sln

11 - Once the project is loaded go to Tools > Options > Projects > VC++ Directories, and DO the PATH FIXING:

+ Change the directory list to executables and add your direct X SDK folder to the list (default is C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (WHATEVER VERSION)\Utilities\bin\x64)

+ Change the directory list to includes and add the include directory (default is C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (WHATEVER VERSION)\Include) - + Change the directory list to library and add the library folder there (default is C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (WHATEVER VERSION)\Lib\x64)

12 - Do that in x64 mode, and the same on Win32 mode ( take care and change library folder and DirectX folder from x64 to x86 )

13 - Select Release and x64, and right click on "Solution 'Dolphin'" and choose Build Solution.

14 - You're done. Look into Dolphin-emu-read-only/Binary/x64 and there should be your EXE file.

EVEN JitIL Experimental IS WORKING FOR ME.

On MS-Windows, I can compile a fine 32-bit version, but the 64-bit version got problems, a linker error for plugin_wiimote.lib

Looking at agarrameporelmangos comment, I tried to download http://suma.soulogic.com/dl/VCE64BIT.zip but that link doesn't work.

btw. I am using the normal version of Visual Studio, not the express version.

His link/tutorial is for Express only. Plain Visual Studio supports both x86 and x64 builds (provided you installed the x64 Tools). Just make sure you add the correct Include and Library settings for both x86 and x64 (they are on the same settings page, but different settings).

In case a complete clean of the solution doesnt work, can you tell us the linker error? Usually, those are resolved cleaning interdiary files (unless someone screwed up).

We first need to know that according to the Microsoft website, VC++2008 Express is supposed to have native x64 support (x64 enviroment + x64 compiler), it doesn't.
