Dolphin Emulator on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B ARMv7

[uplime]

Greetings! I have RetroArch installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (ARMv7 architecture):

pi@retropie:~ $ uname -a
Linux retropie 5.10.103-v7l+ #1529 SMP Tue Mar 8 12:24:00 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

It's working fine for the most part, and now I'd like to start playing Wii games. As far as I can tell, Dolphin supports ARMv7, however the lr-dolphin and dolphin cores are not available when running RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh, stating they only support the 64bit flag. I've tried installing it manually using this guide, but after making RetroPie/roms/wii putting a .iso in there, and rebooting, I don't see a wii section come up in Emulation Station. Are there any further steps I need to take?

Edit: A couple more questions:

• Where do I get IDL.bin? It didn't seem to be in the dolphin git repo.
• Is the core different from the dolphin Sys directory? If so, where do I get the core from?

@uplime I believe that will on work on the 64bit version of the OS.
At this time there is no ETA on when RetroPie will be releasing their build.

But you can install the 64bit OS and the install RetroPie ontop of that.

I know there are a few posts of people doing that and talking about how well games work or don't work on it

Right now that's the only way you can get dolphin to work

Thanks! Just to clarify, I can install a 64bit on my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B instead of having to buy a new one with a 64bit chip?

Yes, the Pi4 B is already 64bit capable. That being said, don't expect dolphin to be full speed - even with a modest video resolution - on a Pi4.
