    I just bought a deck yesterday. Now you’re telling me I can play my Gamecube games on it? Brain melts

    For anybody confused – or I guess for anybody who wants Dolphin as a Flatpak immediately – Dolphin is already available on Flathub, it just currently isn’t verified. It’s packaged by a third party.

    Honestly it’s great to see more first party support for Flatpaks/Flathub.

    It’s weird that Valve hasn’t with Steam tbh - they already use Flatpaks/Flathub on the deck, and they’ve asked people not to use Ubuntu’s Snaps (competing app packaging standard to Flatpak) version of Steam, or system packages for other distros - saying that you should only use SteamOS, the latest Ubuntu with a .deb package, or the Flatpak (which is unofficial!!). Just make it official, Valve! Telling people to use it when it’s unofficial seems weird.

    Anyway, compliments to the Dolphin team, it’s probably the most impressive emulator I’ve ever used.
