Installation

1. Clone or download the script to your system.
2. Ensure executable permissions are set: chmod +x gamecube_dolphin.sh.
3. Run the script with the path to your GameCube ROM as an argument, e.g., ./gamecube_dolphin.sh /path/to/your/rom.iso.

Usage

./gamecube_dolphin.sh /path/to/your/rom.iso

Features

• Automatically installs necessary dependencies if missing.
• Handles ROMs in ZIP, 7z, ISO, and rvz formats.
• Extracts ROMs from archives before launching Dolphin.
• Cleans up extracted files after running Dolphin.
