Description

What type of update are you requesting?

A new version of an existing package

Current Package Identifier

DolphinEmulator.Dolphin

Package Version

Current: 5.0 New: 5.0-20347 (As of writing this issue)

Please describe the changes you would like to see

The latest stable release of dolphin (https://dolphin-emu.org/download/) is nearly 7 years old by now. New releases come as a 7z file containing a PE and config files, and come out around every other month. Newer versions of dolphin (newer than the one winget is using) contain an auto-updater also.

Start with the DolphinEmulator.Dolphin package manifest and compare its current version and installer metadata with the latest stable release listed at dolphin-emu.org/download. Done means the manifest targets the newer release and its 7z package installs correctly through winget.
