Unlike the Native GameCube Controller support, Bluetooth Passthrough does not require an actual Wii Bluetooth adapter. This doesn't mean all of this is possible on the old path: we still rely on the host Bluetooth stack, but perhaps something could be done about issues like detecting motion+. The other big benefit is that it narrows down what bugs are a part of Dolphin's standard Real Wii Remote path as well, making it clear where bugs lie. With Bluetooth Passthrough Skyward Sword controls exactly as it did on the WiiĪnd that's just the tip of the iceberg this essentially allows for perfect Wii Remote behaviors in Dolphin. In games like Skyward Sword and Wii Sports Resort Bowling, there was a noticeable difference between Emulated Bluetooth and Bluetooth Passthrough. In terms of performance, Wii Remote audio can work on all models, Motion+ is detected properly and has much more accurate motion detection.

Limitations on connecting Wii Remotes have been removed Third Party Wii Remotes, -TR Wii Remotes and standard Wii Remotes will connect and sync to your computer regardless of Bluetooth stack limitations! Windows 7 users upset about the Bluetooth stack not supporting Motion+ Included Wii Remotes can bypass the issue altogether with Bluetooth Passthrough! This level of control lets Dolphin to make Bluetooth adapters behave just like a Wii's Bluetooth system, allowing Wii Remotes to be synced to Dolphin directly, and closing the emulator will turn off all connected Wii Remotes. This means that bugs and issues brought on by both missing features from the host Bluetooth stack and bugs in Dolphin's Bluetooth adapter emulation are avoided!

That's not to say that you can't use a Wii Bluetooth adapter with some basic soldering skills you can create abominations to the world that work on your PC!īy installing a LibUSB driver on an existing Bluetooth adapter, users can allow Dolphin to bypass the host Bluetooth stack and directly interface with the device. Things aren't quite as easy for Dolphin and Wii Remotes for the most part users are going to be using standard Bluetooth adapters. In the case of "Native" GameCube Controller Adapters, they all have to work exactly the same because of their compatibility with the Wii U. Much like Native GameCube Controllers, Dolphin can achieve this through LibUSB. Now the same ideas are being applied to Wii Remotes! Excellent Wii Remote support is now possible by not emulating a Wii Bluetooth adapter!
This is the best way to get authentic GameCube controls without compromise in Dolphin. Even with GameCube Controllers, using Nintendo's Wii U Controller Adapter (and its clones), Dolphin can essentially bypass a lot of controller emulation. With something as complicated as the Wii Remote, less emulation is better. In the case of Windows 7, most modern Wii Remotes can't even be connected. Dolphin simply has no choice but to hack around these issues, and operating systems are not very fond of it. This all traces back to the eccentricities of the Wii, and the awful things Bluetooth stacks and operating systems do to Wii Remotes. On MacOS, simply scanning for Wii Remotes can crash the emulator! Broken Wii Remote speaker audio, lag during rumble/audio, difficulty detecting accessories like the MotionPlus, and inaccurate syncing with the MotionPlus made games less enjoyable. Unfortunately, even when using Real Wiimotes Dolphin could sometimes leave something to be desired. Instead of worrying about mapping highly complex motions to a button or an axis, you can use the original controller and just do the motion, exactly as you would on the original console! Usually, users will save emulated Wii Remote profiles per game, only mapping what is needed simply because mapping a single configuration for all games is impossible.įor years, Dolphin has used "Real Wiimote" support to get around these mapping problems. This unique controller is extremely difficult to generically map to standard game controllers. The situation goes from okay to very dicey when we move to the Wii and its titular Wii Remote. While the GameCube Controller has a few trouble spots, such as the analog/digital combo R and L buttons, it can mostly map to a modern controller without issues.

Even a PS2 controller can be mapped to an Xbox 360 controller without losing much.įor Dolphin, things get a bit more complicated. Mapping older controllers, such as the SNES controller, to a modern controller is pretty much trivial. But that is only possible because of the standardized button layout that has proliferated throughout consoles. These days, most emulators use pre-configured mappings to allow any controller that uses xinput to be immediately mapped to whatever the original console used.
