Dolphin Progress Release 2407 and 2409

After an exciting round of feature articles, it's Progress Report time once again! However, a lot has changed. Dolphin has finally left the 5.0 era behind, and has entered the Release Era. Not only did we get our first release in eight years, but we also established a commitment to continuous releases going forward. For the Reports, things will be more or less the same, but with a few changes. Progress Reports are now also release changelogs. We'll be going over the notable additions and changes between each release in every Progress Report going forward, rather than within a range of dates. As such, the name of the Reports will reflect the release accompanying it - if you want the new features, just update to the version at the top or higher and you'll have them! (However, since 2407 had a release article without a changelog, this Report will be covering the changes in both Release 2407 and Release 2409.) That also means that the next release is happening right now! Accompanying this report is Dolphin 2409. It is now rolling out via our updater, and is available for download here on our website. But there was also another feature article since our last Report. Dolphin now has RetroAchievements support! For those waiting for it to show up in a release build, the wait is now over. Throughout the past couple of months, we've ironed out one major issue alongside many smaller issues with RetroAchievements. The first iteration of RetroAchievements in a release build is stable, but not all that flashy. The groundwork is there for future improvements, but many features and options are yet to be finished. As well, Android support is still deadlocked with a few issues. Please pardon our progress! We have a bunch of cool statistics from the RetroAchievements team regarding the launch, however, we need to get on with the Report! So just click this handy link to be taken to the bottom of the Report if you'd like to read more! But before we get to the Notable Changes, we have something to cover.

Or perhaps just include the Visual C++ 2022 runtime libraries in Windows Update so every user is guaranteed to have the latest version and applications don't even need to worry about it? During the final testing of the input rewrite, JosJuice received reports that using controller sensors could make Dolphin crash when navigating between screens. Because their phone was stuck on Android 11, they couldn't test the feature themselves, and decided that rather than hold off the rewrite to address the issue, it was best to just disable external sensors for the time being and continue the rollout without it.
