Wii

You have two choices to use controllers for playing WII on Batocera.

• Wiimote: Use original Wiimote controllers with a DolphinBar, mandatory for all games that use movement sensors …
• Gamepad: Use standard gamepads with analog stick for games that can originally be played with Wii Classic Controller and GC Controller.

A DolphinBar is a wireless sensor that can connect your Wii remote controller to your PC by Bluetooth. It's easier to use than an extra Bluetooth dongle for pairing, and it include the IR signal to make your Wii mote working fine. It also include a cursor anti-shake function when you emulate a mouse for Arcade shooting games.

The best one is the Mayflash Bar. Because they approached the Dolphin team and works with them, they were able to fix the bug that was preventing the DolphinBar from connecting with Dolphin. They also release some firmware update to improve the DolphinBar.

It's really easy:

• Connect your DolphinBar in USB to your computer
• Press the right button to choose MODE 4, the Wii specific mode
• Press the left button to launch pairing
• Press the buttons 1 and 2 on your Wiimote
• The bar led stop to flash and on the Wiimote led 1 is now fixed

Repeat for each Wiimote the same things and you are ready to play, nothing more to do.

If you use the DolphinBar in MODE 3, it allows you to use a Wiimote, Wiimote + Nunchuk, or a Wii Classic Controller as a normal GameCube gamepad that you can configure in Batocera like any other. Mode 3 will work with all other emulators and can save you if you don't have any other controller. But, the Wiimote, Wiimote + Nunchuk, and Classic Controller have all different button assignments, even for things that seem obvious like the Dpad. If you plug or unplug a different device, you'll have to make adjustments to your controller configuration stored in Batocera because they have all the same name HJZ Mayflash Wiimote PC Adapter.

If you don't have any Wiimote and want to use a classic controller, it's possible but you will be limited to games already made for Wii Classic Controller and GC Controller.

Begin by edit in SSH your batocera.conf file in /userdata/system/

batocera.conf

  ## wiimotes
  ## real wiimotes must not be paired with batocera.linux system so that they can work with the wii emulator
  ## set emulatedwiimotes to 1 to emulate wiimotes with standard pads
  #wii.emulatedwiimotes=auto

And remove the # at the line start. Now you controllers will be recognised like a Wiimote to play games, but if you try one like New Super Mario Bros you will be stuck when it will ask you to shake your pad to fly with your hat.

Below is the default key mapping for Dolphin/Wii games. This is as if you are using a Wiimote in vertical orientation.

But playing with your gamepad in vertical orientation is really crappy …

Pre-built modifications have been baked into the configuration utility in order to support various games and remote orientation. In order to use these modifications you need to rename the ROM file to include the following

• .side. - Enables the Wiimote to operate as a sideways wiimote. The following changes to the default configuration are enabled:
