 ## Checkout Dolphin
-`git clone --recursive https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin.git && cd dolphin`
+1. Create a directory to store Dolphin in
+2. `cd` into that directory
+3. `git clone https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin .`
+4. Wait for the checkout to finish
+5. `git submodule update --init Externals/mGBA` (as of July 2021, Dolphin integrates mGBA, this step is needed to pull it into the build)
+6. `git pull --recurse-submodules` (if you've cloned Dolphin previously in this folder, this line will make sure everything is updated)
