The Dolphin SDK is the SDK for the GameCube. The Revolution SDK for the Wii is based off of it. It does not have a clear-cut version numbering system, with all versions being referred to as "1.0" and distinguished by dates. As such, it is unclear exactly which versions of the SDK have been leaked.

In addition to the base SDK, the various components of the SDK each have their own designated build dates.
