## BIOS There is no BIOS files needed to run games. ## FOLDERS ### NAND The Wii NAND files are saved in the following folder: `saves\wii\dolphin-emu\User\Wii\` ## Controls (Dolphin standalone) {% hint style="info" %} The following controllers can be autoconfigured from RetroBat to Dolphin: * REAL Wiimotes (with Dolphinbar) / default * XInput controllers * Dualshock 4 and Dualsense controllers * Nintendo Switch Pro controller * Original Gamecube controller through Gamecube Adapter {% endhint %} ### REAL WIIMOTE For best experience, you can use real **Wiimotes** with a **Mayflash DolphinBar** (in mode 4) and activate the **REAL WIIMOTES** setting in Retrobat from the [System View Options](https://wiki.retrobat.org/navigation/view-options) or from the [Game Options](https://wiki.retrobat.org/navigation/game-options)

### EMULATED WIIMOTE If you do not own a real wiimote and need to emulate the wiimote, Retrobat offers multiple options to correctly emulate it and use all its features with a gamepad when enabling the option **EMULATED WIIMOTE**

The mapping hereunder is the default mapping when using **EMULATED** | RetroBat key | Emulated Wiimote key | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | | START | | | SELECT / BACK | Home | | D-PAD | D-PAD | | Left Analog Stick | IR control (wii pointer) | | Right Analog Stick | Tilt control | | ![A](https://990680527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FexdzL60ZuqPLldz2AYta%2Fuploads%2FW8q8wzu0yW9Htt5h4zEA%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=a4ae3ad3-3a80-4c28-8b15-92a1b5a80da7) | A | | ![B](https://990680527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FexdzL60ZuqPLldz2AYta%2Fuploads%2FQlIryQa7tR2pBTWHhMXR%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e1940a32-2494-4e92-a8b1-df9a722ed4f8) | B | |

| 1 | | LB (L1) | - | | RB (R1) | + | This mapping will not suit all games, this is why we have added an addition setting to configure more precisely the way the wiimote is emulated with your gamepad

There is a long list of available options explained below {% hint style="info" %} Note that these options can also be achieved by using specific naming conventions in your ROM files when the option **EMULATED** is active for **WIIMOTE TYPE** setting {% endhint %}

#### CLASSIC CONTROLLER (or ".cc." in ROM name) This will enable the classic controller mapping. For games supporting the Classic Controller (e.g. `Super Smash Bros WII`), this will be the best option. The is the Classic Controller mapping | Retrobat key | Classic Controller key | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | | START | + | | SELECT | - | | D-PAD | D-PAD | | Left analog stick | Left stick | | Right analog stick | Right stick | | ![A](https://990680527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FexdzL60ZuqPLldz2AYta%2Fuploads%2FW8q8wzu0yW9Htt5h4zEA%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=a4ae3ad3-3a80-4c28-8b15-92a1b5a80da7) | B | | ![B](https://990680527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FexdzL60ZuqPLldz2AYta%2Fuploads%2FQlIryQa7tR2pBTWHhMXR%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e1940a32-2494-4e92-a8b1-df9a722ed4f8) | A | |

(ROM name example : `Super Smash Bros WII.cc.iso`) #### WIIMOTE: HORIZONTAL (or ".side." in ROM name) This is the default layout that should be used for games requiring you to hold the wiimotes sideways, this can be useful for games such as `New Super Mario Bros Wii`. It used the default mapping with the following changes: | Retrobat Key | Wiimote Key | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | ![A](https://990680527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FexdzL60ZuqPLldz2AYta%2Fuploads%2FW8q8wzu0yW9Htt5h4zEA%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=a4ae3ad3-3a80-4c28-8b15-92a1b5a80da7) | 2 | | ![B](https://990680527-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FexdzL60ZuqPLldz2AYta%2Fuploads%2FQlIryQa7tR2pBTWHhMXR%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e1940a32-2494-4e92-a8b1-df9a722ed4f8) | B | |

| A | |

| 1 | | L2 | Shake | | SELECT | - | | START | + | | L1 | Tilt left | | R1 | Tilt right | (ROM name example : `New Super Mario WII.side.iso`) #### Other options (or ".xx" in ROM name) Enables the controller to operate with the left stick representing the function before the `/` and the right stick the function after the `\`. The options are as follows: | Function | Explanation | ROM name caracter | | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | | Cursor | The selected stick will operate as the wiimote cursor | i | | Swing | The selected stick will be used for Swing movements | s | | Tilt | The selected stick will be used for Tilt movements | t | | Nunchuk |

The selected stick will act as the joystick on the nunchuk

and L2 = C and :R2 = Z

| n | For example if your game requires a nunchuk and IR cursor usage (e.g. `Super Mario Galaxy`), you can choose one of these options: | Option | Left Stick | Right Stick | ROM flag | | -------------- | ------------------ | ------------------ | -------- | | NUNCHUK/CURSOR | Nunchuk joystick | IR cursor movement | .ni. | | CURSOR/NUNCHUK | IR cursor movement | Nunchuk joystick | .in. | (ROM name example : `Super Mario Galaxy.ni.iso` or `Super Mario Galaxy.in.iso`) #### Additional extensions There are also additional options to autoconfigure few connected extensions:

#### Motion Control If you own a controller like a Dualshock or a switch Pro Controller, it is possible to use the controller Motion Control Sensor to emulate the Wiimote Gyroscope. To do this, you need to enable the MOTION CONTROL option in the advanced options:

### Custom Textures The procedure for custom textures for Wii is similar to the one for Gamecube, refer to the [Gamecube section of the wiki](https://wiki.retrobat.org/systems-and-emulators/supported-game-systems/game-consoles/gamecube#custom-textures). The texture pack needs to be placed in the `\saves\wii\dolphin-emu\User\Load\Textures` folder. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
