Wii Menu: Difference between revisions
(With how all the system menus basically have the same problems, I thought it was best to arrange it like this, instead of separate pages. This allows for more info, and easier access to said info.) |
(Finally had the chance to try it out myself. Tweaked it accordingly, and added the Infobox.) |

The Wii System Menu is the top-level menu interface of the Wii game console, allowing the player to navigate/launch channels, change settings, access the message board/address book, use the SD card, and 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.
Dolphin does not include the Wii System Menu by default, and it doesn't need it; it is able to launch games straight from the Dolphin GUI. However, Dolphin is capable of emulating the various system menus, even to the point of it being functional.

Global Problems
Loading Channels
Dolphin is unable to launch channels from the wii menu, including the Disc Channel. Channels and games should be loaded from the Dolphin menu.
Wii Settings
Dolphin is not able to emulate the Wii Settings menu, as it doesn't have hardware to change settings in, or a reason to use the menu to alter Dolphin settings. It will go to a black screen and sit until the user exits dolphin.
Internet Connectivity
Dolphin does not emulate the Wii's networking at present. A number of Wii System Menu features, such as adding friends and sending messages, will not function without it.
No Channels
When first loading a Wii System Menu in Dolphin, it will appear without any channels, except for the Disc Channel. This is because Dolphin doesn't come with channels preinstalled as the wii does; it's up to the user to install them, using the same process that was used to install the wii menu.
