Your Netplay Experience will greatly vary depending on what version of Dolphin that you are using. Because Dolphin 5.0 is lacking so many netplay features, we highly recommend to use either the latest available beta or dev build. Dolphin 5.0 won't have have Wii Save Synchronization ({{revision|5.0-8478}}), Automated Settings Synchronization ({{revision|5.0-8502}}), Cheat Code Synchronization ({{revision|5.0-9032}}), Synchronize All Wii Saves ({{revision|5.0-9037}}) as well as protections for recovering saves if Netplay crashes. | Your Netplay Experience will greatly vary depending on what version of Dolphin that you are using.

If you're looking to play a Wii title that requires using Wii Remotes and/or their attachments, it is highly recommended to use {{revision|5.0-17527}} or newer as Wii Remote Netplay has been rewritten and standardized to netplay conventions. | ||
If you're inexperienced with netplay, then the biggest rule of thumb is not to change too much and try to follow this guide, as it will go through most of the important things to know. The following information reflects the latest available development build as of its writing. | If you're inexperienced with netplay, then the biggest rule of thumb is not to change too much and try to follow this guide, as it will go through most of the important things to know.

As of {{revision|5.0-17527}}, Wii Remotes mostly work the same as other controllers. You have to use Emulated Wii Remotes on netplay. If you would prefer to use Real Wii Remotes on netplay, you must do that through Emulated Wii Remotes via the <i>Connect Wii Remotes for Emulated Controllers</i>. Your Wii Remote will now show up as an emulated controller that can be assigned buttons, and with Dolphin's <i>Wii Remote with MotionPlus Pointing (Stock)</i> profile, you can automatically assign everything exactly how it would be if you were using it directly as a real Wii Remote. The "Real Wii Remote" controller option itself is not supported on netplay. | |||
==== Using Wii Remote Netplay prior to {{revision|5.0-17527}} === | |||
On older builds, Wii Remote Netplay was a lot more confusing to setup due to the fact that controllers were not automatically reordered like with standard controllers. Each player must set a configuration profile to the <b>Wii Remote Slot they will be using on netplay.</b> That means if you are the host and using Wii Remote 1, you must have the first Emulated Wii Remote configured to your controller on your computer. If you are a client joining and you are assigned to Wii Remote 2, you must have Emulated Wii Remote 2 configured with your controls. In order to prevent desyncs, all players should configure the correct attachments to all controllers. Though Dolphin <i>should</i> attempt to synchronize attachments, it has been known to have issues. If you are using a physical Wii Remote connected as an emulated controller you do not have to set the attachment ahead of time as the stock profile automatically configures it. | |||
