[Command line usage]
Usage: Dolphin [-h] [-d] [-l] [-e <str>] [-b] [-V <str>] [-A <str>]
-h, --help Show this help message
-d, --debugger Opens the debugger
-l, --logger Opens the logger
-e, --exec=<str> Loads the specified file (DOL,ELF,WAD,GCM,ISO)
-b, --batch Exit Dolphin with emulator
-V, --video_backend=<str> Specify a video plugin
-A, --audio_emulation=<str> Low level (LLE) or high level (HLE) audio
[Libraries]
Cg: Cg Shading API (http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cg_toolkit.html)
*.pdb = Program Debug Database (use these symbols with a program debugger)
[DSP Emulator Engines]
HLE: High Level DSP Emulation
LLE: Low Level DSP Emulation (requires DSP dumps)
Recompiler is faster than interpreter but may be buggy.

Direct3D11: Render with Direct3D 11
OpenGL: Render with OpenGL + Cg Shader Language
Software Renderer: Render using the CPU only (for devs only)
[Sys Files]
totaldb.dsy: Database of symbols (for devs only)
font_ansi.bin/font_sjis.bin: font dumps
setting-usa/jpn/usa.txt: config files for Wii
[Support Folders]
Cache: used to cache the ISO list
Config: emulator configuration files
Dump: anything dumped from dolphin will go here
GameConfig: holds the INI game config files
GC: Gamecube memory cards
Load: custom textures
Logs: logs go here
