Steam Frame, Dolphin Emulator, and Wii Controller emulation (piefed.social)

So with the upcoming Steam Frame release, I'm thinking about the possibilities. Steam Frame will have a full desktop environment, like the Steam Deck. Any guesses on how hard or easy it might be to throw dolphin on it, and use the controllers as emulated Wii Controllers?

My guess is Very Easy.
Dolphin is already compiled for ARM on Flatpak.
You might need to wait for SDL3 to gain support for properly reading the Frame Controllers or for the Dolphin devs to work out the nuances of mapping their Motion to the Emulated WiiMotes, but as soon as that's done, smooth sailing.
