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?

Same way you made it work on Deck, again. SteamInput will map controllers to input devices detected by Dolphin, and you map to whatever you need to map to in whatever way you want.
