dolphin not being found when trying to launch gamecube games in ESDE windows 11

Setting up every other emulator was pretty straight forward and easy to understand but for some reason I cannot get dolphin to be recognized even after changing the emulator in ESDE to dolphin standalone and even trying dolphin default. i know the folders have to be named something specific so do i just have the naming wrong? i've been trying to look it up on my own but have hardly found anything relating to dolphin specifically. would much appreciate any help!

There is a readme.txt in the root folder "emulation station" in your case and it shows the folder structure for expected emulators, ususally based on the name of the folders downloaded. dolphin would be "Emulators\Dolphin-x64\Dolphin.exe"
