Provided as a standard installable APK, available from Dolphin's download pages, from [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu Google Play Store], and from [https://f-droid.org/packages/org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu/ F-Droid].
As of 16 March 2024, the APK natively supports both ARM64-v8A and amd64; older devices that depend on ARMv7 (ARM 32-bit) will not be able to run Dolphin.
Devices need to support OpenGL buffer storage to run Dolphin in a playable state. This excludes ''Windows Subsystem for Android'' as of 16 March 2024, among others.
