First up, you're going to want to boot your Steam Deck into Desktop Mode. Then, open up Discover (the software center) and search for Dolphin Emulator. Click install, and voila! Remember, you'll need to do this in desktop mode because the SteamOS interface won't directly allow for Dolphin installation. Happy gaming!
