I have no idea.

When I downloaded Dolphin from the website, it came packaged as a .tar.bz file. I tried extracting it to a folder (I chose /opt, the same folder Google Chrome puts itself). But when I tried to run it, it had trouble finding the libraries:

user@hostname:/opt/dolphin-emu$ ./dolphin-emu

tar.gz, tgz, and tar.bz2 are source packages, you need required dependencies to compile them. I'll see what I can do about turning it into a deb, but it will be a 64-bit deb as I have a 64-bit system, for 32-bit I need to get my other system running.

Never mind. There's a PPA with prebuilt packages:
