Nintendo Wii

The Nintendo Wii is a console developed by Nintendo. It was

released on November the 19th, 2006 and retailed for $249.99

USD.

The Wii sports a IBM PowerPC CPU at 729 MHz with 88MB of RAM,

and a GPU infamously created by ATI (Wii consoles have “ATI”

printed on its shell) dubbed the “Hollywood” chip. Its internal

architecture is very similar to its predecessor, the GameCube, so

Dolphin supports running both Wii and GameCube games. In fact,

some GameCube games can be more diﬃcult to run than Wii

games.

Dolphin is pretty much the only Wii emulator.

This system scrapes metadata for the wii group and loads the

wii set from the currently selected theme, if available.

Quick reference

Accepted ROM formats: .gcm, .iso, .gcz, .ciso, .wbfs, .wad, .rvz, .elf, .dol, .m3u,

.json

Folder: /userdata/roms/wii

Emulators

Dolphin

libretro: Dolphin

BIOS

The libretro version of Dolphin requires its NAND to be stored in bios/dolphin-emu/Sys.

The standalone version will generate the needed ﬁles on ﬁrst launch.

ROMs

Some users have reported issues with using regular traditional controllers as Wiimotes in

Wii games if the game loaded has the .cc.rvz extension. Renaming this extension to

.nkit.iso solved the issue for them (no actual conversion was done, just renaming).

Place your Wii ROMs in /userdata/roms/wii.

UBERSHADERS wii.ubershaders

Improve performance with Ubershaders.

Ubershaders take advantage of your GPU to

avoid in-game stutters as it generates shaders

for the ﬁrst time; this can happen when a

certain special eﬀect shows on the screen or a

new model is rendered. Hybrid ubershaders are

preferred, it will use the GPU accelerated

ubershader if available to avoid stutter,

otherwise it will fall back to traditional shader

generation. Exclusive ubershaders will only use

ubershaders, only activate this option if you

have an extremely powerful GPU. Normally

there is no downside to activating ubershaders,

however it does increase the minimum

requirements out of your GPU to run. On

especially weak hardware, such as SBCs,

ubershaders are disabled by default. They can

still be manually turned on, but you may

encounter more stutter if on an SBC. Skip draw

is a hack that opts to take a diﬀerent approach

altogether: don't display the object in game if

its shader hasn't compiled yet. Obviously, this

can result in visual glitches, but may be the

best option performance-wise if your hardware

is extremely weak.; asynchronous is preferred,

synchronous is more compatible

Controllers for the Wii

There are multiple choices for controllers and connections for playing Wii on Batocera:

Native Wiimote using native Bluetooth: Use original Wiimote controllers with either a native

Bluetooth receiver.

Native Wiimote using a Dolphinbar: Use original Wiimote controllers with a Dolphinbar.

Emulated Wiimote/Classic controller with a gamepad: Use a standard gamepad to emulate a

Wiimote for the emulated game.

Emulated GameCube controller with a gamepad: Use standard gamepads for classic/GameCube

controller-compatible games. This is the default mode.

Native Wiimote using native Bluetooth

When Dolphin is launched, put the Wiimote into pair mode and it will pair. That's it. Use the IR bar as

you would a normal Wii, place it either at the top or bottom of the TV screen and point at it for the on-

screen Wiimote cursor.

This will work for as long as the Bluetooth dongle itself supports communicating with the Wiimote.

An ordinary controller (or keyboard) will be required to navigate menus when outside of the emulated

Wii game, as the Wiimote itself cannot be used for this.

This method cannot be used simultaneously with pairing the Wiimote in EmulationStation

(the main menu).

( unless you choose the “gamepad” option for the wiimote gun

settings? Needs conﬁrmation)

Native Wiimote using a Dolphinbar

The Dolphinbar acts as an intermediary body between the machine and the Wiimote. It also includes

IR LEDs which automatically shut oﬀ when not in use. Its Bluetooth module is the most unresponsive

of all the available options, usage of native Bluetooth connection instead is usually more responsive.

An ordinary controller (or keyboard) will be required to navigate menus when outside of the emulated

Wii game, as the Wiimote itself cannot be used for this.

Connect your DolphinBar with USB to the machine.1.

Press the right ( MODE?) button to switch to MODE 4, the passthrough2.

mode.

Launch any Wii game from ES using a traditional controller.3.

To permanently pair the Wiimote:

On the Wiimote, hold down the red sync button inside of the battery compartment. The1.

LEDs will begin ﬂashing.

To only temporarily pair the Wiimote:

On the Wiimote, hold down buttons [1] + [2]. The LEDs will begin ﬂashing.1.

Wait until the LEDs stop ﬂashing. Once they do, the Wiimote is connected to the emulated Wii4.

system.

Repeat for each Wiimote desired.

For more info, refer to the Dolphinbar-speciﬁc page.

Do the same limitations about pairing in ES apply here?

What does the light gun page for Dolphinbar have to do with this? Maybe the link to it

should be removed.

There's a SYNC button on the Dolphinbar itself. What does that do in this context? Is it

required to be pressed or does Batocera automatically put the Dolphinbar into pairing

mode once Dolphin is launched? Is the button just a passthrough for the Dolphin hotkey

which automatically puts the emulated Wii into its sync mode?

Using Bluetooth passthrough

This is not required to use Wiimotes regularly with Bluetooth adapters. Dolphin

works ﬁne using its emulated Bluetooth connections in most cases.

Doing this will render your Bluetooth module inoperable with anything that isn't Dolphin,

including navigating the EmulationStation front-end! Be sure to have a diﬀerent way of

navigating the menus prepared.

A keyboard and mouse are required to initially conﬁgure this.

If instead you'd like to utilize Dolphin's Bluetooth passthrough feature, do the following:

Go to the dolphin-emu-config application in Files ([F1] in system list) → Applications.1.

Go to Options → Conﬁguration → Wii and add your Bluetooth module to the Whitelisted2.

USB Passthrough Devices box.

You can test for this by plugging in your Bluetooth USB dongle and seeing which

device appears, if that's what you're using.

Close the conﬁguration window, then launch a Wii game directly from Dolphin (double-click one3.

Press the red [SYNC] button on the underside of your Wiimote. You can either remove the6.

battery cover to get to it or use a toothpick to press it through the hole in the cover.

You can press [Alt] + [Tab] again to get in-game and conﬁrm that your

controller is working.

Go to Emulation → Stop to stop the game.7.

Exit Dolphin.8.

You can now use Bluetooth passthrough with Dolphin after launching the game from Batocera!

2023/11/16 19:32 9/11 Nintendo Wii

Batocera.linux - Wiki - https://wiki.batocera.org/

Wiimote proﬁles can be manually set via Batocera conﬁgs, however it is recommended to

just use Dolphin's sophisticated remapping tools and use a custom pad proﬁle instead.

Use of the Skylanders portal with Dolphin's passthrough

Navigate to [F1] File manager → Applications → dolphin-emuconﬁg

Once Dolphin is opened, navigate to Options → Conﬁguration → Wii and then add the portal to the

Your GPU might not be strong enough to calculate the caches in real-time while playing. This can be

worked around by activating the PRE-CACHE SHADERS wii.wait_for_shaders setting, at the

cost of having to wait a while on your next launch of the game (one time only).

It's still happening!
