In the first half, you can configure or disable the emulated GameCube controller ports. Each ports should be enabled corresponding to how many controllers you will want to use. The 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.
 


=== Real GameCube Controller (GameCube Adapter) ===
In the second half, you have options to use real, emulated Wii Remotes, or hybrid of two in the same slot. The Wii Remotes are referred to as "Wiimotes" in Dolphin settings. Select '''"Real Wiimote"''' in the dropdown for a Wiimote 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.
To use the actual GameCube Controllers using an Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U (and its clones), see [[How to use the Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U in Dolphin]]. It does not require any button configuration. Other adapters behave as generic controllers and need to be configured (see below).




=== Emulated GameCube Controller ===
After you select what do you want to use, click on '''"Configure"''' for one of the emulated controllers, if any one of it enabled.

It does not require any button configuration. When the GameCube controller is plugged into the adapter, that port will be enabled (I.E. the port in the main controller configuration that has been set or disabled otherwise will be ignored). That does not apply to the adapters that behave as generic controllers and need to be configured.

Wiimote settings are also found in the Controllers panel. Dolphin can use both real and emulated Wii Remotes. The Wii Remotes are referred to as "Wiimotes" in Dolphin settings.

To connect a Wii Remote, press '''"Refresh"''' then press the '''"1"''' and '''"2"''' buttons on your Wii Remote simultaneously. If '''Continuous Scanning''' is enabled, there is no need to press refresh every time: just press the '''"1"''' and '''"2"''' buttons simultaneously after the game is running or when the Wiimote window is open. Wii Remote connectivity will only work if one of the Wiimote slots is set to Real Wiimote or Hybrid Wiimote. RVL-CNT-01-TR Wii Remote Pluses do not work with this method, see the [[Wii Remote Plus (RVL-CNT-01-TR) Connection Guide]].

'''Continuous Scanning''' allows you to connect a Wii Remote without having to open the Wiimote window and press refresh every time. As long as a game is running or the Wiimote configuration window is up, just press '''"1"''' and '''"2"''' on your Wii Remote simultaneously and it will connect. This option will only work if a Real Wiimote is selected in one of the Wiimote slots.

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).
