* To connect a Real 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 Wii Remote window is open. Real Wii Remote connectivity will only work if one of the Wii Remotes is set to "Real Wii Remote" or "Hybrid Wii Remote". 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 Wii Remote window and press refresh every time. As long as a game is running or the Wii Remote configuration window is up, just press "1" and "2" on your wiimote simultaneously and it will connect. This option will only work if a Real Wii Remote is selected in one of the wiimote slots.

The Wii Remote may be disconnected after a brief of inactivity within the game emulation. Tools -> Connect Wii Remotes -> Connect Wii Remote # or a hotkey corresponding to it will renew the connection.

Dolphin does not automatically turn off Wii Remotes as the Wii will. 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.

'''Sideways Wii Remote''' changes the emulated wiimote controls to allow you to play games as though the wiimote is sideways, without actually changing your controls. It is useful for games such as [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]] that are designed for it.

'''Speaker Pan''' allows you to shift the emulated wiimote audio to the left or the right on your system speakers, if "Enable Speaker Data" is checked. -127 is left, 0 is centered, and +127 is right.

If you controller supports it, '''"Rumble"''' will allow your controller to experience the Wii Remote's rumble functionality. Once in the window, click on the motor pattern you wish to use (sine, cosine, etc), and press "Select" to apply it. If you wish to add a second pattern, with your existing pattern still there, click another pattern and press "|OR". Hit OK to accept the changes and exit the window.

'''Sensor Bar Position''', '''IR Sensitivity''', '''Speaker Volume''', and '''Wii Remote Motor''' are duplicates of Wii settings. They do exactly what they say they do, and work exactly like the same settings on the Wii itself.

If '''Enable Speaker Data''' controls whether the wiimote speaker can produce sound. When using a Real Wii Remote, the audio will come out of the wii remotes' speakers; with emulated wiimotes, 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.
