Configuring Controllers: Difference between revisions
Full on update. Should be fine for 5.0.
(Removing the mayflash instructions, and added a note about radius. Now that Dolphin has official support for the GameCube controller, the unofficial mayflash adapter no longer needs details here. (it was always a bit questionable anyway)) |

* To connect a Real Wiimote, press '''Refresh''' then press the "1" and "2" buttons on your Wiimote simultaneously. If '''Continuous Scanning''' is enabled, there is no need to press refresh every time: just press the "1" and "2" buttons simultaneously after the game is running or when the Wiimote window is open. Real Wiimote connectivity will only work if one of the Wiimotes is set to "Real Wiimote" or "Hybrid Wiimote". RVL-CNT-01-TR Wii Remote Pluses do not work with this method, see the [[Wii Remote Plus (RVL-CNT-01-TR) Connection Guide]]. | * To connect a Real Wiimote, press '''Refresh''' then press the "1" and "2" buttons on your Wiimote simultaneously.

If a game thinks a Wiimote has been disconnected during play, pressing "Alt-F5" for the first controller may correct it. The second, third, and fourth controllers are mapped to F6, F7, and F8 respectively. | If a game thinks a Wiimote has been disconnected during play, pressing "Alt-F5" for the first controller may correct it.

If you controller supports it, '''"Rumble"''' will allow your controller to experience the Wiimote's rumble functionality. Once in the window, click on the motor pattern you wish to use (sine, cosine, etc), and press "Select" to apply it.

These settings apply to both emulated and real wiimotes. | |||
'''Sensor Bar Position''', '''IR Sensitivity''', '''Speaker Volume''', and '''Wiimote Motor''' are duplicates of Wii settings. They do exactly what they say they do, and work exactly like the same settings on the Wii itself. | |||
If '''Enable Speaker Data''' controls whether the wiimote speaker can produce sound. When using a Real Wiimote, the audio will come out of the wii remotes' speakers; with emulated wiimotes, it will come out of the system speakers. Some games, like [[Metroid Prime 3]], have lag issues when Enable Speaker Data is enabled on some systems. | |||
