Of course anyone could have run regular old Dolphin through steam by adding it as an external app. People have been doing that for years now.

This is a full blown steam release. And will have all the bells and whistles that come with running an app natively through steam that don't work with the old method. Retroarch did the same thing and launched a Steam version few years back. More options are better but for the most part, the standalone desktop version will still be the definite way to play.

No. Definitely work involved with putting it on steam though.

What would be the benefit of running dolphin through steam though? Genuinely curious why I would want to open it through steam when I can just click on the Dolphin icon that's on my desktop?

I can’t figure that out either. Possibly steam cloud(not for Rom’s obviously) and steam input.

I'm interested in the remote play and online features baked into steam. It may also be and easier way to remote play some of my GameCube library
