The '''''Wii Menu''''', commonly known as the "System Menu", is the top-level menu interface of the [[Wii]] game console, allowing the player to navigate/launch [[Wii Channels|channels]], change settings, access the message board/address book, use the SD card, and [[Disc Channel|load discs]]. The channels are displayed on a 4:3 grid with 4 pages, which the player navigates using the Wii Remote. The grid is customizable; users can move channels (except for the Disc Channel) amongst the menu's 47 customizable slots by pressing and holding the A and B button while hovering over the channel the user wants to move. | The '''''Wii Menu''''', commonly known as the "System Menu", is the top-level menu interface of the [[Wii]] game console, allowing the player to navigate/launch [[Wii Channels|channels]], change settings, access the message board/address book, use the SD card, and [[Disc Channel|load discs]].

However, the menu is fully functional; it can load channels and even discs. Starting with {{revision|5.0-4588}}, you can easily install the ''Wii Menu'' in Dolphin by going into Tools → "Perform Online System Update". Additionally, starting with Dolphin {{revision|5.0-5179}}, the ''Wii Menu'' can also be installed offline from a Wii disc containing an update partition by right-clicking the game on Dolphin's game list and selecting "Perform System Update". Once installed it can be launched from Tools → "Load Wii System Menu". | ||

If the hidden EULA channel isn't installed, it's impossible to accept it, and online features of some games won't work. To fix this, perform an online update through System Settings or go to File → Change Disc and select the ISO of a game which has an update partition, then go to the Disc Channel to perform the update. After doing so, the EULA can be accepted. | ||

A workaround was to create the title data directory manually on the NAND. Now that {{revision|5.0-3147}} allows installing the channel properly, the channel will remain broken until reinstalled. | A workaround was to create the title data directory manually on the NAND. Now that {{revision|5.0-3147}} allows installing the channel properly, the channel will remain broken until reinstalled. | ||
=== Wiiware Games & WAD Files Instead Launch System Menu === | |||
Deleting the NANDBOOTINFO file in the following Documents location will resolve this: | |||
%userprofile%\documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\shared2\sys\ | |||
===Error 101232 / Total breakage of internet within Wii Menu=== | |||
Pretty likely to happen when trying to change the internet settings within the Wii Menu settings (Regardless of whether RiiConnect24, WiiLink, Wiimmfi, multiple, or none of those are enabled), at which point Wii Menu cannot use any online or RiiConnect24 connections due to network tests failing with Error 101232, and utility channels launched from Wii Menu will complain about a lack of network configurations. | |||
The best-working fix is to, while Dolphin is not running, go to <code>(…)\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\shared2\sys</code>, and then delete the <code>net</code> folder. Wii Menu can then be run with normal internet functionality. | |||
==="This channel can't be used"=== | |||
A fully possible outcome of changing between Wii Menu system updates from different regions, as it would often result in clone [[Forecast Channel]] and [[News Channel]] listings on the Wii Menu. The ones from the current region works normally, while the clones from other regions will instantly show a black screen with ''"This channel can't be used"'' and then hardlock. | |||
As the clones don't show up in the Wii Menu settings' channel list, removing the clones outright requires the ''[https://wiibrew.org/wiki/AnyTitle_Deleter/AnyTitle_Deleter_MOD AnyTitle Deleter MOD]'' homebrew app, and run its <code>boot.dol</code> with Dolphin. Its default Wii OS version (IOS249) can safely be picked regardless of a couple of error notes, leading to "Titles" → "System Channel Titles". | |||
Crosschecking the 4-letter <code>CODE</code> values to find the exact clones is nice to do, but as a rule of thumb, codes ending with E are North America, P are PAL, J are Japan, and A are either region-free or contains files shared between the regions. Once you've narrowed down the clones, press A on them, and then A again to confirm the deletion. | |||
==="You tried to access the address marc:(…)" when opening settings=== | |||
Caused by some kind of conflict with [[Internet Channel]]. If Internet Channel doesn't show up in the Dolphin game list, use the same ''AnyTitle Deleter MOD'' homebrew as above, go to "Titles" → "Installed Channel Titles", and uninstall those whose codes match the first 4 letters of the codes match the IDs of the Internet Channel (HADE, HADP, and/or HADJ). | |||

=== Screen Position Setting === | === Screen Position Setting === | ||
The Screen Position Setting in the System Preferences has no effect in Dolphin. On Console, it moves the Position of the Screen either to the left or right by pressing the arrows in the desired direction. Refer {{issue|10984}}. | The Screen Position Setting in the System Preferences has no effect in Dolphin. On Console, it moves the Position of the Screen either to the left or right by pressing the arrows in the desired direction. Refer {{issue|10984}}. | ||
=== Accidental Temporary Region Change === | |||
Under very rare and convoluted circumstances that can be easily avoided, it is possible for Wii Menu to temporarily think it's in a different region, despite still having the original region's system menu files. | |||
The process is unclear. The closest guess is that if both ''"This channel can't be used"'' and ''"You tried to access the address marc:(…)"'' mentioned above happen during a short time period, Wii Menu can begin struggling to tell which region it's in, and which system update it has. | |||
If a disc from another region is mounted into Wii Menu at that point in time (e.g. [[Mario Super Sluggers]] for PAL, [[Monster Hunter G]] for NA), [[Disc Channel]] can possibly show a "Wii System Update" prompt. If Disc Channel is clicked on and the prompt is accepted, an update bar will be shown and possibly succeed. | |||
After that process, upon returning to Wii Menu, some of the channels will act a bit weird. Not only Forecast Channel and News Channel, but also [[Everybody Votes Channel]], can lead to ''"This channel can't be used"'', and the time format will have changed between 12- and 24-hour formats. Restarting the emulation session, and/or using the ''AnyTitle Deleter MOD'' fixes mentioned above, will fix the problem and return Wii Menu to its original region. | |||
{{Problems/Error 109144}} | |||
For Wii Menu, this primarily concerns the mail functionality, specifically the envelope option and the "Register" button in the Address Book. | |||
=== Failure to Reconnect Wii Remote When Returning to Wii Menu === | |||
When moving from a game, app, or homebrew app, into Wii Menu, the Wii Remote will turn off the connection, and then fail to re-connect on its own when the menu has loaded. On real hardware, the Wii Remote re-connects after around 2 seconds. | |||
