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.

Dolphin does not include the ''Wii Menu'' by default, and it doesn't need it; it is able to launch games straight from the Dolphin GUI. However, the menu is fully functional; it can load channels and even discs. For instructions on how to install the ''Wii Menu'', and for help in performing it, see the {{forum|Wii System Menu Tutorial|tid=11957}} on the forums.
