Launch Dolphin from RetroArch/libretro
Launch Nintendo Wii and GameCube games through Dolphin native, directly from RetroArch.
Note: This is a big hack, and it's recommended to use the Dolphin Core instead.
Compile the core
git clone https://github.com/RobLoach/libretro-dolphin-launcher.git
cd libretro-dolphin-launcher
make
Copy the core file to the RetroArch cores directory
cp dolphin_launcher_libretro.so /usr/lib/libretro/
cp dolphin_launcher_libretro.info /usr/share/libretro/info/
Make sure Dolphin is installed. You should be able to run at least one of the following commands:
dolphin-emu --version
dolphin-emu-nogui --version
flatpak run org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu --version
Scan Nintendo GameCube and Wii games in RetroArch
Launch the games directly from the RetroArch menu
Alternatively, you can run games through the command line
retroarch -L dolphin_launcher_libretro.so Mario.gcm
