Dolphin Core not working

[christ enjoyer]

I have the Dolphin .dll and the .info latest files from the website in all the right places. when I select Dolphin core, in the bottom left of Retroarch and it still says no cores. I try to play a game but it closes and says failed to open libretro core. It is not the rom because I've tried different ones.

Came to the forums for exactly this. Everything else seems to be working fine, except for Dolphin, which was just working.

The error is:

[ERROR] Failed to open libretro core: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RetroArch\cores\dolphin_libretro.dll"
[ERROR] Error(s): The specified module could not be found.

When it is, indeed, there.

Try the non steam desktop version. I redownloaded RetroArch from their site and i finally got the Dreamcast emu to work.

did you create the BIOS folder? Go step by step: https://docs.libretro.com/library/dolphin/
It should work

Yes! it seems that I was missing the SYS file. The guide I followed didn't say anything about it. I appreciate the help, I can play Metroid!!

I just updated to win11 and I'm getting the exact same error, I select dolphin and nothing happens, and if I select a previous game playd says: failed to open libretro core.
And I have the sys folder and the BIOS files :/

what I did was wipe all the local files in steam from retroactive and I went step by step with that guide above. downloaded all the files I needed from https://buildbot.libretro.com/ I didn't upgrade to 11 just yet so might be one of the reasons
