===4:3 Borders===

When the Wii Aspect Ratio is set to 4:3, the game will add gray-green borders to the top and bottom of the screen to remain in 16:9. Kirby's Epic Yarn was designed to work this way, but if you want Dolphin to stretch the image to fill the entire screen, use the following steps:

*In Config > "Wii" Tab - Set "Aspect Ratio" to "16:9"

*In Graphics Config > "General" Tab - Set "Display - Aspect Ratio" to "Force 4:3" (or use hotkey "4").

 

=== Emulated Wiimote ===

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-617|OS=Windows 7 x64|CPU=AMD Phenom II 965 @ 3.4GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 5870|result=Using DSP LLE with the OpenAL backend and a latency of 2, a Framelimit of 60, D3D backend, 3x Native internal resolution with scaled EFB copies running in fullscreen with a resolution of 1920x1080 and "hide mouse cursor" enabled, unchecked Ignore Format Changes, using the OpenMP Texture decoder, EFB set to virtual, progressive scan on, using two real Wii Remotes for co-op play with the Toshiba stack. All other settings at their respective defaults. The game runs fine with a stable 60FPS until a medium amount of things are going on on-screen (e.g. yarn-enemies being unraveled, getting hit and dropping all of your gems and, oddly enough, loading screens) in which case it can drop downwards of 30-40FPS, creating a heavily disturbing and noticeable slowdown. No other issues or bugs. Switching over to DSP HLE makes the game run much smoother in mid-intense areas, but it still drops down to a semi-unplayable level of approximately 30FPS in very intense areas, noticeably the second level (Grass Fields) when transforming into a tank. This seems unfixable at the moment, as turning on all speed hacks/speedup-options that doesn't break the game gives the same result (no improvement) as just switching to DSP HLE, i.e. smooth so long as there aren't too many effects on the screen.|tester=incassum}}
