Wii Games Classic Controller

Lewi

Good Evening. In the last weeks I am trying out the Wii and I managed to rename like side... and it works with Games like Donkey Kong and New super Mario Bros. nearly perfekt. Games like Mario Kart or Golden Eye are starting directly with the classic Controller Setup, which works perfect, too. My question ist, how do I get the other Games to work with a Classic Controller Setup which are specific made for this Controllertyp like Call of Duty Blackops ore Modern Warfare 3? I've looked in the Wiki and not clearly understand the Solution maybe I am to stupid again ;-) Thanks for your help.

Lewi yeah that happens the same to me. I tried to play cod mw3 and it didn't works but with nintendo games everything is fine. Does someone could solve it?

I ve looked a little bit closer and noticed that the Games which startet directly with a normal controller Setting, are not recognized as classic Controller. They recognize my Pad as Gamecube Controller.

Hi,

Check here: https://wiki.batocera.org/doku.php?id=emulators:wii

Hi, for me the best thing you can do is pré-configure each game (each gc or wii game has an *.ini file) with his own controller profile directly in the dolphin emulator.
that's what I've done, and all runs perfectly, wiimote, nunchuk, classic controller, etc, and you can map it like you want.

fredi-fredi Hey there. That sounds like the best solution.

I got this to work for me after some time. Now i know how to set controls and graphics specific per game. Thanks!

fredi-fredi can you explain please how to do that? how do i access the game's .ini

ref_k You have to Access the Dolpin Menu. Hit F1 in Emulationstation. Then Applications, Dolphin.

In Options you have to select the Path to your Games. Now your Games are listet, you can right click on them and select preferences(should be). Then click on Editor. At the Bottom you now see the User-Pfreferences. This is the .ini file you need to configure.

These are the configurations you can do from here specific for each game:
General Settings:
https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=GameINI

Control Settings:
https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=GameINI_(Controller_Settings)

This is an example what i did. You can configure controllerprofiles in the controller-settings of Dolphin, save them and let them select via the .ini file. The Line WiimoteSoure selects the Device Dolphin will use as controller.

It's pretty straight forward and easy to use once you get used to it.

Woodhomer Thanks mate
in your example there are the lines of the wiimoteprofiles=newsupermariobros
in the dolphin wiki they say: Change Name of Profile to the name of an existing control profile. It requires that you have created and saved a new control profile beforehand in the controller configuration window for the emulated Wii Remote.
where do i get profile file?
btw, are your setting for wii controller?im using psx controller. that means the settings are deferant?

Woodhomer Thank you so much! although I fixed mine in a different way than yours, I didn’t know I could access the config for Dolphin by pressing F1 - Applications.

I just went into Dolphin config and clicked on “Controllers” icon. Then went to the wiiremote section and selected P1 through P2 to “None”.

Then I was able to connect both of my generic gampads working for WII games!

I see my edditor is in (Read only). Is there a way to change that ?

when I click on open in external editor, I get a message « failed to open in the external application. Make sure theres an application assigned to open INI files »

Im using Xbox One Controller. So your psx controller should work like my controller to.
You have to go into Controller Configuration, then select emulatet wiimote and click on edit or change on the right side. Now you see the screen for button mapping. From here you can select your InputDevice on the left side. Then map the keys like you want it for your spezific game. After mapping you can save this profile on the right upper side. For example name it newsupermariobros1 (for player one). Then i made this again but i selected my next Xbox One Controller as InputDevice and named it newsupermariobros2 and so on.

Set the lines in the .ini file and it should work.

Some profiles can be used for more games. I use my newsupermariobros-configuration for all games with wiimote-sideways. Then i have one more profile for wiimote with nunchuck(games like supermariogalaxy, zelda, etc.). You can map the shaking feature on buttons.

sacrone You don’t need to access the external editor.

Just put your Settings in the Box at the Bottom and close the window. The lines you wrote are now the .ini file.

I added :

[GCPad1]
D-Pad/Down = ‘Axis 7+’
D-Pad/Right = ‘Axis 6+’

but still no dpad when launching the game :S

What are you trying to do?

If you want to make an individual controller profile you have to do it in this order:

Open Dolphin Menu -> Controls
Map your Buttons to the specific controller and save this controllerprofile
let the new controller profile be selected by setting the lines in the .ini file

i described all steps above.
