only the Shields TV runs it? Is there no other box that runs satisfactorily?

Probably not. But I can tell you, a Ryzen5 1600 and nVidia 750Ti will run Gamecube, Wii and WiiU games just fine.
Not even Shield runs Dolphin perfectly.
It's for 64-bit Android only. Most budget boxes on the market now are 64-bit CPU running 32-bit Android, which make them impossible to run Dolphin. Shield runs 64-bit Android TV.

Fire TV 2 also runs 64-bit Android (Fire OS of course) but later generations switch back to 32-bit.
