Configuring Controllers: Difference between revisions

[[File:Dolphin-Controller-Config.png|link=]]

In the Gamecube Controllers config area, you can configure or disable the emulated GameCube controller ports. The emulated GameCube controllers themselves are referred to as '''"Standard Controller"''' in the dropdown menu. The controller order on the PC does not have to equal to GameCube controller port order. They will be handled entirely in the GameCube Controller Configuration window. It is within each port's own '''"Configure"''' button.

In the Wii Controllers config area, you have the option to use real or emulated Wii Remotes, as well as choosing to passthrough a Bluetooth Adapter (see [[Bluetooth Passthrough]]) or emulating the Wii's adapter. You can also assign the Wii Remote to connect it as an emulated controller by selecting '''"Connect Wii Remotes for Emulated Controllers"'''. Select '''"Real Wii Remote"''' in the dropdown for a Wii Remote slot to use a real-world Wii Remote connected to your PC via bluetooth for that slot. Dolphin supports up to four Wii Remotes at once, along with any peripherals you have attached to them. Although the Balance Board cannot be emulated, Dolphin allows the use of a real-world Balance Board by selecting '''"Real Balance Board"'''. '''Enable Speaker Data''' controls whether the Wii Remote speaker can produce sound. When using a real Wii Remote, the audio will come out of the Wii Remotes' speakers; with emulated Wii Remotes, 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.

In the Common config area, you can choose options that would both affect Gamecube and Wii controllers. '''Background Input''' lets you use the controller or keyboard even if Dolphin isn't in focus. '''Alternate Input Sources''' allows the use of capturing motion data from other hardware inputs into Dolphin. See [[DSU Client]] for more details.

After you select what you want to use, check in the section(s) below for additional configuration.

Choose any device that is connected to your PC in the '''Device''' dropdown, and set the buttons and axes to your liking.

*Middle click a slot to clear it of inputs.

*Right click a slot to show more input options. See [[Input Syntax]] for documentation and examples.

'''Extension''' Allows you to add an emulated Nunchuk, Guitar, or other Wii Remote peripheral. Select the extension you want to emulate in the dropdown, and press configure to open a window with slots just like the Emulated Wii Remote window. Select buttons and axes as you wish, and press OK to save. If you wish to attach a MotionPlus to the emulated Wii Remote, select '''"Attach MotionPlus"'''.

After setting up everything that you want, click '''"OK"''' and the changes will save.

=== General Settings ===

== Hotkey Settings ==

Dolphin has preloaded user-configurable hotkeys only found under Options > '''Hotkey Settings'''. This has great use for Hotkey and Tool-Assisted Speedrun users, and it is required for '''Free Look''' (if enabled under Utility section in Options > Graphics Settings > "Advanced" tab) and a way to exit Fullscreen.

Choose any device that is connected to your PC in the '''Device''' dropdown, and set the buttons and axes to your liking.

*Middle click a slot to clear it of inputs.

*Right click a slot to show more input options. See [[Input Syntax]] for documentation and examples.

There is no way to map hotkeys on the native controllers.
