If we have Primehack... can we get Project Plus? Other forks?

Since a fork of Dolphin, Primehack, was included, is there any chance that other forks of emulators might be included? Such as Project Plus (Super Smash Bros Brawl online)?

The core installer difference here is installing a forked Ishiiruka Dolphin app image used to improve performance and have consistent netplay versions across users.

That said, there is consideration to take in installing Ishiiruka Dolphin as a performance booster emulator if we have data showing it improve performance for games other than P+/Melee.

The original Ishiiruka is abandoned: https://github.com/Tinob/Ishiiruka The Ishiiruka fork used by Faster P+: https://github.com/jlambert360/Ishiiruka The Ishiiruka fork used by Slippi Melee: https://github.com/project-slippi/Ishiiruka

Given that Ishiiruka is supposed to focus on performance over accuracy and stability, it isn't unreasonable to consider Ishiiruka would have benefits on Deck. https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Ishiiruka-Dolphin. The question in my eyes is do these forks offer the same improvements to other games, or are they specific to the games they were forked for. @jacfalcon0 are you willing to do some testing and reporting with findings?

I wish I had the time at the moment, but I might circle back later.

I'm willing to look at this just as is from a download / setup standpoint, after we get the next release out. It would be a very much optional setup, and may not be able to be integrated outside of making launcher for steam rom manager to scrape. Will need to research first.

Hey I was just looking into this feature as well, if it's ok I would like to take a look at implementing this feature as an optional step for EmuDeck? I have an idea of what may need to be done to make it work

Would be awesome to have Project Plus and Slippi 😍

As suggestion, Emudeck could have 2 emulators screens, one for official emulators and another one with the custom ones

I installed PrimeHack without meet what is for and when I searched about it just decided to give it try since I love that idea

This is something that is a bit more finicky than a simple Emulator setup. See the gist I made (also linked in the wiki) for instructions: https://gist.github.com/WingofaGriffin/3202698447ca2452a9431137cfc18d21
