Dolphin standalone emulation error

[Grindetime]

When trying to play gamecube games on nvidia shield through the dolphin standalone emulator I get an error. Iagl correctly launches the dolphin emulator but give a warning concerning the .rvz is an invalid GCM/ISO file, or is not a gc/Wii ISO. Is there a workaround for this?

Well rvz isn't an iso. Everything I'm reading though says that Dolphin can load an rvz file. I can load a random rvz game on my laptop without issue. Can you just launch the file if you manually download it?

Yes, I can launch it manually if I convert it to iso but that is an extra few steps, exiting Kodi, relaunching Kodi and the like. Maybe if the source was iso natively, then problem solved.

This suggests you should be able to open rvz files, if you're using a later version of Dolphin (greater than 5.0 i think):
