=== EULA for Online Services ===  
=== EULA for Online Services ===  
Changing some settings in the Wii Menu will ask to accept the EULA again. If the hidden EULA channel isn't installed, it's impossible to accept it and online features of some games won't work. To fix that, perform an online update through System Settings or go to File => Change Disc and select the ISO of a game which have an update partition, then go to the Disc Channel to perform the update. You'll be able to accept the EULA after doing that.

=== No Channels ===
=== No Channels ===
The Wii Menu will initially appear without any [[Wii Channels|channels]], except for the [[Disc Channel]]. This is because Dolphin doesn't come with channels preinstalled as the Wii does; it's up to the user to install them, using the same process that was used to install the Wii Menu.

=== Wii Menu Crashes When Loading Forecast Channel's Banner ===
The import handling in Dolphin's IOS HLE was broken until {{revision|5.0-3147}} and caused channels not to install properly. This causes the Wii Menu to crash in some cases when loading the Forecast Channel's banner. This affects all NANDs where the Forecast Channel was installed in Dolphin.

A workaround is to create the title data directory manually on the NAND. Now that {{revision|5.0-3147}} allows installing the channel properly, the channel will remain broken until reinstalled.

{{#vardefineecho:problems|
=== <s>Keyboard Is Not Completely Displayed</s> ===
=== <s>Startup Disc Menu Fails to Load</s> ===
The keyboard that appears when the user wants to give his Wii a nickname is not fully displayed if "Fast Depth Calculation" is enabled. To display the keyboard correctly, disable the option. This is fixed since at least {{revision|5.0-10516}}.
Due to the IOS emulation changes, and the fact that the Startup Disc menu uses the currently unemulated IOS4, it will not boot as of the current revision. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-4647}}.


=== <s>Wii Fit Channel Installation Functionality</s> ===
=== <s>Channel Management (Wii Menu 2.x)</s> ===
[[Wii Fit]] will ask you to install a Wii Fit Plus channel on the Wii Menu at some point. You can go through the process and it will install and return to the game successfully. The system menu will not actually have the Wii Fit Plus channel, though. Fixed by {{revision|5.0-1837}}.
Deleting channels works, but will leave Wii Menu corrupted. To fix this, manually locate and remove <var>title.tmd</var> from the deleted channel or update the Wii Menu to version 3.0 or newer. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-2660}}.

Line 44: Line 43:
Dolphin only recognizes the first thing loaded as the game that is being played. For example, if [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] is loaded from the Game List, and use the home menu to go to the Wii Menu, then change disc and load [[Xenoblade Chronicles]], the game cheats, and even any savestates made will be for Brawl and not Xenoblade.

=== <s>Update Partitions Are Not Detected</s> ===
Fixed in {{revision|5.0-2712}}, which introduces proper title tracking. Savestates, screenshots, cheats, custom textures, etc. should all work.
No game update partitions are detected because of a bug in IOS HLE. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-2712}}.
 
=== <s>Copying/Moving Channels to SD Card</s> ===
Copying/moving channels to SD Card will always fail. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-2666}}.


=== <s>System Update</s> ===  
=== <s>Format Wii Memory</s> ===
Performing a System Update will end with an error 32004 or 32017. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-2752}}. Note: the System Menu requires the System Menu IOS to be installed.
Using "Format Wii Memory" option works but Dolphin will keep complaining about missing entries in SYSCONF after doing that. The workaround is disabling Panic Handlers or deleting <var>User\Wii\shared2\sys\SYSCONF</var>, letting Dolphin generate a new one. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-4416}}.


=== <s>Message Board</s> ===
=== <s>Message Board</s> ===
Messages cannot be sent/received. Playtime is correctly registered only if a game is loaded through the Wii Menu/Disc Channel and the Wii Menu is returned to after playing. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-775}}.

Copying/moving channels to SD Card will always fail. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-2666}}.
<!-- Shared problem with [[Disc Channel#Persistent Game Settings (GameINI) on Next Game Load]] -->
Because of the state of Dolphin's current config system, GameINI will not reload on next game load. This will be solved in the future with the new config system. Fixed in {{revision|5.0-4896}}.
