Technical notes
Launcher stub that passes games to standalone Dolphin via system() calls. Tries dolphin-emu-nogui, falls back to dolphin-emu, then Flatpak org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu. Waits for Dolphin to exit, then signals RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_SHUTDOWN. Requires Dolphin installed on the host. All BIOS/firmware files are managed by the standalone Dolphin install.
No BIOS or firmware files required.
Why no files
stub core calls standalone Dolphin — all BIOS in Dolphin's own directory
