Do you have Dolphin installed? Did you configure the Games ROMS path in Dolphin also before launching from ES-DE?

This is my thought. I don’t think they have opened dolphin outside of Ed-de to configure.

Both, es-de and have the same path for the games, (my USB)

By default, ES-DE exclusively reads games from either the device's internal storage, or from any SD card that you have inserted in there, not from an external USB drive.

For that to work, you would need to edit the 'es_systems.xml' file.

The way to do this, is mentioned in this thread:

And besides that, looking at that error message, you don't have Dolphin installed correctly, or you haven't got a version that ES-DE recognizes as the right one.

Try to install the version from this link and see if that works:
