This guide gives you a list of recommended devices that might be needed while using Dolphin - either as a requirement (sensor bar, bluetooth dongle are required to connect Wii Remotes) or simply for more faithful emulation (GameCube controller, etc.).

If you can't see the links to the accessories pages, please disable your Ad Blocker.

NOTE: If possible, buy the devices through the links present in this guide. Dolphin is registered through the Amazon Affiliates programs, giving us money for anything you buy through this page. This costs nothing to you, and the money we get is reinvested in order to help developers buy hardware when needed.
