Emulation Information
No Controller Rumble
As was the case in the official Wii Virtual Console release, there is no support for the original Nintendo 64 release's Rumble Pak functionality, even when emulating or connecting a GameCube controller.
This only affects the Japanese release of the game, where it's not widely established in Western sources whether the Japanese Virtual Console release was that of the initial Nintendo 64 version or the Shindou (振動) version.
No Controller Pak Saving
As was the case in the official Wii Virtual Console release, there is no support for the original Nintendo 64 release's Controller Pak functionality.
The Pak was originally used as a backup for the cartridge's internal savefile, and could be brought over to another Nintendo 64 system to compare scores and utilize custom watercraft configurations. None of those things would be necessary on Wii Virtual Console either way, and thus aren't in Dolphin's Virtual Console either.
