If you controller supports it, '''Rumble''' will allow your controller to experience the GameCube controller's rumble functionality. Within the rumble configuration window, click on the motor pattern you wish to use (sine, cosine, etc), and press '''"Select"''' to apply it.

'''Background Input''' lets you use the controller or keyboard even if Dolphin isn't in focus. This option will enable or disable symmetrically with '''Background Input''' in Wii Remote settings. This option has been moved to the main configuring controller window as of {{Revision|5.0-3019}}. | |||

As long as a game is running or the Wiimote configuration window is up, just press '''1''' + '''2''' or the sync button on your Wii Remote simultaneously and it will connect. | ||
After several minutes of inactivity, Wii titles will attempt to disconnect the Wii Remote. The Wii Remote will remain on and connected to Dolphin, but the game will believe it is disconnected. To "reconnect" the Wii Remote, go to Tools -> Connect Wiimotes -> Connect Wiimote # or use a hotkey corresponding to it (example - the Windows default for Wiimote 1 is Alt-F5), or simply press a button on the Wiimote. | |||
Dolphin does not automatically turn off Wii Remotes as the Wii will (except on Linux). Remember to turn off controllers on your own to save battery power, simply by holding the power button on Wii Remote for a second as you would to turn off the Wii. It will also tell Dolphin that it's disconnected instead of stopping the game emulation. | |||
==== Couldn't Connect ==== | |||
Wii Remotes use the Bluetooth interface, make sure your PC supports Bluetooth. Do not pair the Wii Remote to your computer through its native Bluetooth settings. The operating system may interfere with Dolphin's ability to connect with the Wii Remote. In addition, Wii Remote connectivity will only work if one of the Wiimote slots is set to Real Wiimote or Hybrid Wiimote and it's not claimed by another Wii Remote. | |||
If the remote does not seem to want to connect, '''make sure that any real Wiis in proximity are switched off for the duration of the pairing process.''' | |||
