Talk:Configuring Controllers


 * I can upload some screenshots about how to configure the controllers. Faefdsedf 18:12, 8 March 2012 (CET)
 * If you make a configuring controllers article, please make sure you don't do anything subjective. I'll explain. The problem with controller config suggestions on game pages is that controller configuration is subjective. For example, a gamecube controller and especially a wiimote don't map 1 to 1 onto an Xbox 360 controller. How someone maps a wiimote onto their controller is entirely up to personal taste; it's subjective. Furthermore, not everyone is going to be using a 360 controller (or even use the same drivers for a 360 controller). So "button 1" on one controller will mean something entirely different on another. For this reason control configuration suggestions on game pages are something that rather bug me, because they are more or less useless. Still, I think there could be some value to having a configuring controllers article if it focuses on the process of configuring and not on the end result. It could make things a little simpler for people. So, please keep this in mind if you make the article. MaJoR 22:20, 8 March 2012 (CET)
 * Thanks for the reply. I'll make something like that. (Btw, sorry for the previous mistakes =P ) Faefdsedf 23:25, 8 March 2012 (CET)
 * Heh, no problem mate. We all do that kind of thing from time to time. - MaJoR 23:48, 8 March 2012 (CET)


 * GCPad done. Anyone can help me with the Wiimote config? Thanks in advance. Faefdsedf 19:16, 11 March 2012 (CET)
 * I have some suggestions for improving it. It would be really hard to say it all so I'm going to go ahead and add them. Feel free to change it to your liking.

Connecting Controllers
"This explains in detail how to connect a WiiMote to the Dolphin-emulator." *facepalm* wrong wrong wrong wrong. This article is about configuring controllers (GCpad and Wiimote, not just wiimote). Connecting controllers was specifically excluded from the page, because it's too complicated for the wiki to cover. In ideal situations, you just tell it to pair up a wiimote and you're done. But what about the dozens of dozens of different controllers that can be used for GCpad, what about generic wiimotes, or what if wiimotes don't work as expected? WAY too much material for this wiki. So, I say we keep "connecting controllers" information off the wiki, or keep it extremely barebones. I'll make some edits along those lines. Anyone have any other ideas?

GC Mic
It would be good if we could provide some description around the "Mic" option under the GC controller settings. I've never been clear on it's purpose, but have been presuming it's a mic on/off switch. Kolano (talk) 20:58, 17 October 2013 (CEST)

I'm not really sure this is the best place for that, but I'll ask what it does exactly in the IRC sometime. - MaJoR (talk) 22:07, 17 October 2013 (CEST)
 * The real GC mic have a button, and almost all games that uses GC mic ask you to hold the mic button and then speak. Since the GC Mic is emulated in Dolphin by using your PC mic, you can map this button to "enable" the mic when asked by the game. BTW, Odama doesn't need the mic button be pressed I think...

Hybrid Wii Remote
Shouldn't there be a section for hybrid Wii remotes? I'm confused as to what the difference is between "real" and "hybrid". --GameCubeFan - GC ROCKS! (talk) 06:05, 24 September 2015 (CEST)

We probably should have some coverage of such, though in general I'd guess it's not used by too many people. "Hybrid" would be a mode where both a real Wii Remote and inputs from other non-standard controllers are used at the same time. For instance one could use a real Wii Remote wand and a gamepad's d-stick and buttons instead of a nunchuk. Kolano (talk) 18:02, 24 September 2015 (CEST)
