#### Instructions
|
|
|
|
##### Section I - Installing Dolphin
|
|
|
|
If you have Dolphin already installed, skip to Section II
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
1. Download the latest Dolphin beta version, but **not a stable version as these are very outdated!**
|
|
2. Extract the .7z file using a program like 7Zip or WinRAR.
|
|
3. Start Dolphin.
|
|
4. Press on `Tools` -> `Perform Online System Update` -> Choose your region.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a homebrewed Wii console, you can use a [BootMii NAND dump](bootmii) instead of installing the Wii System menu via this method. See [this page](https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=NAND_Usage_Guide) for more information.
