No BIOS or firmware files required. This core is self-contained.
Launcher stub that passes games to standalone Dolphin (dolphin-emu-nogui, dolphin-emu, or Flatpak org.DolphinEmu.dolphin-emu). The core itself does no emulation - it calls system() with the game path, waits for Dolphin to exit, then signals RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_SHUTDOWN.
Requires Dolphin installed separately on the host. All BIOS/firmware files (IPL.bin, DSP ROMs, fonts, Wii NAND) are managed by the standalone Dolphin install, not by RetroArch system/. See dolphin.yml for those files.
No system files, BIOS, or firmware required by this core.
