Have any of you run Dolphin standalone with ES-DE? Eventually I'll add PCSX2 standalone, something else for N64 and Dreamcast, etc.

I ask because it seems like my options for installing Dolphin standalone are a flatpak or building from source. I was worried the flatpak would have integration issues with ES-DE because of the sandboxing, but I've never built any packages from source. I'm running Mint if relevant.

Background- I have Retrobat running on windows for my child, and I'd like to get off windows as much as possible. I tried Retroarch, and like 1 out of 5 built in cores worked. I like the ES-DE carousel interface better than Retroarch anyway. If I can't get this to work, I was considering making a partition for Batocera as an alternative.
