The fan emulation scene has not only lead to countless innovations over the years, it's directly benefited Nintendo.

    I’m definitely not Team Nintendo on this, but why was Dolphin on Steam anyway?

    i think they wanted to make it more accessible and Steam has a very wide audience relative to their website? i’m not sure, the whole affair was very confusing.

      I think in particular they were targeting Steam Deck users b/c the current install process uses the command line which is too big of a barrier for people who want a more console-like experience

        It doesn’t currently require the command line though. You can get it as a flatpak using the Discover app in desktop mode. Most people would be using EmuDeck anyway which automates that.
