This may be intended as a wink and a nod, but it’s probably not that unusual. I recently ripped all my physical PS2 games to play on the PCSX2 emulator, and they play and look better than they ever did on my console, and it’s more convenient as well. I’ll not be going back.

Retroarch has been there for a while so I don’t think they’re going to have any problems. Emulators aren’t illegal so as long as they don’t use any trademarked assets or branding there’s very little Nintendo can do about it.

I’m guessing that it’s put there so that it can be loaded onto the Steam deck? Not quite sure how sideloading works on that console, but it’s just a random guess.

Me too, were you also kinda nervous about what the “legal grey area” was going to be?

I was at least intrigued, assuming no live dolphins were being harmed in the process!

So not this dolphin?
This the only game I emulate on my Raspberry Pi MAME set up that’s not an actual arcade game. Retroarch is the frontend to Retropie there are all kinds of games available that are pretty easy to find.
It’s the one and only game me and my daughter played on the only game console we ever bought her, Sega Game Gear. We got nostalgic a few years ago, I found it so we could relive the early 90s.
We drove non stop from Michigan to Arizona, 36 hours, when she was 7 or 8, she had it mastered by the time we got there.

Such a fun game! I also played it on Game Gear.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

For those unaware, Dolphin was the codename for the development of the GameCube.
