Dolphin-Emulator

[Americancosworth]

Having just built my new Steambox for the purpose of running SteamOS, I now come to the part of installing Dolphin so all my Wii games don't go to waste now that the Wii gets to collect dust...

Having searched and searched and searched, does anyone have a walk-through on how to install Dolphin within SteamOS? I have the Debian repo's activated, but dolphin-emu is just kicking my linux-script-kiddy butt... Any and all help would be appreciated...

Capture your root partition first to be safe.

Dependencies:

dolphin-emu-master depends on libao4 (>= 1.1.0); however:
Package libao4 is not installed.
dolphin-emu-master depends on libopenal1 (>= 1:1.13); however:
Package libopenal1 is not installed.
dolphin-emu-master depends on libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.18.0); however:
Package libpango-1.0-0 is not installed.
dolphin-emu-master depends on libpangocairo-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0); however:
Package libpangocairo-1.0-0 is not installed.
dolphin-emu-master depends on libpulse0 (>= 1:0.99.1); however:
Version of libpulse0:amd64 on system is 2.0-6.1+steamos9+bsos1.
dolphin-emu-master depends on libsdl2-2.0-0 (>= 2.0.0); however:
Package libsdl2-2.0-0 is not installed.
dolphin-emu-master depends on libstdc++6 (>= 4.8.1); however:
Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 4.7.2-5+steamos1+bsos1.

You'll notice the last two packages have steamOS packages already installed. This will conflict with what the dolphin package wants. However, they should be fine (unless a very specific library or version is needed). You can try to install dolphin while ignoring the dependencies, but install the previous. I have tested these commands, but have not tested the emulator itself yet. I installed libpango, but it still complained, so I ignored that as well:

libpango1.0-0 is already the newest version.

sudo apt-get install libao-common libao4
sudo apt-get install -t wheezy libopenal1 libpango1.0-0
mkdir dolphin
cd dolphin
wget http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/dolphin-master-4.0-5954_amd64.deb
mkdir extract
sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=libsdl2-2.0-0,libstdc++6,libpango1.0-0 dolphin-master-4.0-5954_amd64.deb

There are still some errors, but I don't have any more time this morning to test things. The general workflow should be the same to figure out the rest. Just some tinkering for a few minutes.

You won't need to have every dependency if you run it from the Steam runtime. You can do that with:
/home/steam/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh /path/to/dolphin

There might be a typo in there, though, can't test right now.

MMMMmmm.... using the combo of the two above posts I have been able to launch the program, though only while using the sudo command...

Wii games launches as well, but is without sound... going to mess around with the settings a but and see what happens...
