The '''''Wii System Menu''''' is the top-level menu interface of the [[Wii]] game console, allowing the player to navigate/launch [[Wii Channels|channels]], change settings, access the message board/address book, use the SD card, and [[Disc Channel|load discs]]. The channels are displayed on a 4:3 grid with 4 pages, which the player navigates using the Wii Remote. The grid is customizable; users can move channels (except for the Disc Channel) amongst the menu's 47 customizable slots by pressing and holding the A and B button while hovering over the channel the user wants to move.

Dolphin does not include the ''Wii System Menu'' by default, and it doesn't need it; it is able to launch games straight from the Dolphin GUI. However, the System Menu is fully functional; it can load channels and even discs. For instructions on how to install the ''Wii System Menu'', and for help in performing it, see the {{forum|Wii System Menu Tutorial|tid=11957}} on the forums.

Due to how Dolphin works, 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 System Menu, then change disc and load [[Xenoblade Chronicles]], the game settings from the GameINI, cheats, and even any savestates made will be for Brawl and not Xenoblade. There is no solution at this time.

Changing some settings in Wii System 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, get the hidden channel from a game's update partition or from NUS Downloader, install it in Dolphin and then accept the EULA through Wii Menu.

Messages cannot be sent/received. Playtime is correctly registered only if a game is loaded through the Wii System Menu/Disc Channel and the Wii Menu is returned to after playing. There is no solution at this time.

When first loading a Wii System Menu in Dolphin, it will 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.
