Setting up Dolphin on your Steam Deck is like cracking a joke – it's all about timing and execution! First, boot into Desktop Mode. Then, download the Linux version of Dolphin from the official website. Install it by opening the terminal and typing in the necessary commands (you can find these on Dolphin's official installation guide for Linux). Lastly, jump back to Gaming Mode, add Dolphin as a non-Steam game, and bam! You're ready to dive into your favorite classic games.
Actually, I think running emulators on Steam Deck kinda defeats the point. The beauty of Steam Deck is in the Steam library and new PC games, not old console games.
