Can't use AR/Gecko Codes in Dolphin #179

I want to add the 16:9 widescreen fix listed in the Wind Waker Dolphin wiki: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Wind_Waker However in order to use AR codes you need to be able to right click the ROM from the ROM list, and when opening Dolphin Standalone within RetroDeck it doesn't list any ROMs. I tried to set the path to my ROM folder but it's on the SD card and it looks like Dolphin can't see that.

The paths for Dolphin are hardcoded to ~/retrodeck/roms/wii and ~/retrodeck/roms/gc. Launching from EmulationStation bypasses this, but games won't be found when launching Dolphin standalone. This should be resolved in 0.6b when RetroDECK location issues are fixed, but in the mean time the user can symlink their roms folder from their SD card to ~/retrodeck and it should work again.
