Its not that much of a loss given you can still launch Dolphin from steam anyway. It just won't be on the storefront.

Just add it as a non-Steam game, right?

I constantly say “we live in the future,” and this is more proof.

Steam has done this for like 20 years now

Being able to emulate a Switch on the SteamDeck by simply adding it as a non-Steam game isn’t something we’ve been able to do for 20 years… but OK.

I use Steam ROM Manager to add my games to Steam and it works wonderfully.

There's also EmuDeck that automates this process too.

Yeah, but you don't get cloud saves or achievements

Can't complain too much though. Dolphin is so good were spoiled.

Not just that, guides, community controller configurations...

Another thing, all the enhancements planned for dolphin on steam will still be hitting the standalone version
