The '''[[~~wikipedia~~:Wii|Wii]]''' is a seventh-generation home video game console by Nintendo released on November 19, 2006, and priced at {{Inflation|USD|249.99|2006}}. It has an IBM PowerPC CPU at 729 MHz with 88 MB of RAM and an ATI Hollywood GPU at 243 MHz. The Wii was a huge success with 101.63 million units sold, beating the likes of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 by being cheaper and attracting many casual gamers and non-gamers. Due to its massive success, it was littered with shovelware games that mostly rely on motion control and exclusive to the console. Because of the Wii's and the [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]]'s similarity, Wii emulation happened very quickly through GameCube emulation.

|Disguise peripheral support through passthrough

Tricking the software into think that the original controller was connected even those identify themselves with different device IDs. When a game tries to identify a connected 'nearly the same internally' controller, emulator will tell it that the equivalent original controller is connected instead, allowing it to work.

|Better [[texture filtering]]

Enhancement option for providing better texture filtering methods comparing the original hardware had.

|Dolphin's anisotropic filtering '''enhancement''' is not emulation of the consoles' anisotropic filtering. In fact, Dolphin completely ignored all anisotropic filtering requests from the game entirely! Dolphin's enhancement was everything or nothing, and there was no way to only enable anisotropic filtering just for the textures that would have used it on console. As such, it was impossible to get console-matching texture output - without the enhancement some textures would be too soft, and with the enhancement some textures would be too sharp. It was never quite right.

Graphics Mods work in two parts - the action, and the target.

These are modifications to the target groups. In addition to this, Dolphin has some built-in Graphics Mods that apply to certain target groups. These include "Native Bloom" - scaling the "Bloom" target group down to the correct resolution, "No Bloom" - skipping any texture labeled in the "Bloom" target group, and "No HUD" - skipping any textures under the target group of "HUD". You can define these or your own Target Groups in any game through using Dolphin's Texture Dumping tool or EFB dumping tools.

Many modern emulators incorporate database-driven per-game overrides to apply targeted fixes or tweaks for quality-of-life (QoL) improvement without requiring users to manually edit global config files for each title. This approach allows quick, centralized application of workarounds for specific games, such as graphics fixes, timing adjustments, or compatibility flags, while keeping the emulator's default settings intact. This auto fix feature shouldn't be confused with "Per-game profiles" enhancement feature.

These filters are not intended to be perfectly accurate recreations, but rather to evoke the tonal qualities, distortion, bandwidth limits, resonance, and compression associated with 8-bit and 16-bit era devices. Examples include mono or narrow stereo output, reduced frequency response, speaker cone distortion, mild saturation, aliasing, and preset lo-fi profiles inspired by classic TVs, portable game systems, radios, and retro multimedia hardware.

~~[[File:Dolphin-Wii-OperaBrowser.png|thumb|298x298px|Wii System Menu and Wii Opera browser emulation using Dolphin emulator]]~~

~~The system provides a graphical interface to the Wii's abilities. Placeholder text.~~

* Dolphin is capable of running the system menu. To get the system menu, one needs to use [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/BootMii BootMii] to dump the NAND of the Wii and import it. Refer to the [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=NAND_Usage_Guide NAND usage guide on the Dolphin wiki] for more details. As of Dolphin 5.0-4588 version, it is possible to automatically get the System Menu, along with all other system software, by performing an online update (in the Tools menu).

* If you want to boot into the Wii Menu with selected disc image from your [[Frontends|frontend software]] rather than directly launching a game, use this command: -b -n 0000000100000002 -C Dolphin.Core.DefaultISO= — If you're using LaunchBox, make sure to check the option 'Remove space before ROM'.

-|<small>There is a pull request for adding [https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/12280 graphics mod editor/manager] to Dolphin. In the meantime, you can use [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Graphics_Mods graphics mods]; an exciting new feature introduced in 5.0-16763 that allows users to modify games through a method of defining targets and then applying actions to those targets. Rather than hijacking the game's code with PowerPC assembly (game patches) or general memory editing (Action Replay codes), graphics mods work inside Dolphin's rendering pipeline, altering Dolphin's output exclusively. Graphics Mods work in two parts - the action, and the target. The action is how the graphics mod should affect Dolphin's rendering pipeline, i.e. "delete an EFB Copy", while the target is the only thing that is specific to a given game, such as "this is the hash for the EFB Copy I want to remove." [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2026/06/25/dolphin-progress-report-release-2606/#2603-215-graphics-mods-enhance-bloom-by-iwubcode This is a very simple example for demonstration purposes, but Graphics Mods are able to do a lot within Dolphin's rendering system, such as apply any shader to an EFB Copy.] Currently, Dolphin supports three actions: Skip, Move, and Scale. These are modifications to the target groups. In addition to this, Dolphin has some built-in Graphics Mods that apply to certain target groups. These include "Native Bloom" - scaling the "Bloom" target group down to the correct resolution, "No Bloom" - skipping any texture labeled in the "Bloom" target group, and "No HUD" - skipping any textures under the target group of "HUD". You can define these or your own Target Groups in any game through using Dolphin's Texture Dumping tool or EFB dumping tools.</small>

 <small>Many modern emulators incorporate database-driven per-game overrides to apply targeted fixes or tweaks for quality-of-life (QoL) improvement without requiring users to manually edit global config files for each title. This approach allows quick, centralized application of workarounds for specific games, such as graphics fixes, timing adjustments, or compatibility flags, while keeping the emulator's default settings intact. This auto fix feature shouldn't be confused with "Per-game profiles" enhancement feature.</small>

 <small>Simulation of characteristic playback limitations and coloration of vintage consumer audio hardware, such as CRT television speakers, arcade cabinets, handheld consoles, early PC sound outputs, and low-fidelity integrated speakers. These filters are not intended to be perfectly accurate recreations, but rather to evoke the tonal qualities, distortion, bandwidth limits, resonance, and compression associated with 8-bit and 16-bit era devices. Examples include mono or narrow stereo output, reduced frequency response, speaker cone distortion, mild saturation, aliasing, and preset lo-fi profiles inspired by classic TVs, portable game systems, radios, and retro multimedia hardware.</small>

-| rowspan="1" |<small>No emulator currently includes built-in disc scratch simulation, as it would require [[High and low-level emulation|low-level emulation]] of optical drive error correction, which is not implemented. As a workaround, you can try the external [https://github.com/redscientistlabs/RTCV Real-Time Corruptor (RTCV)] tool. It is a real-time memory/data corruption tool for inducing glitches during emulation, which might mimic some effects of a scratched disc (e.g., visual/audio artifacts or crashes). However, it is not a true "disc scratch" simulator, as it works on live memory rather than simulating physical disc read errors.</small>

-The system provides a graphical interface to the Wii's abilities. Placeholder text.
-* Dolphin is capable of running the system menu. To get the system menu, one needs to use [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/BootMii BootMii] to dump the NAND of the Wii and import it. Refer to the [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=NAND_Usage_Guide NAND usage guide on the Dolphin wiki] for more details. As of Dolphin 5.0-4588 version, it is possible to automatically get the System Menu, along with all other system software, by performing an online update (in the Tools menu).
-* If you want to boot into the Wii Menu with selected disc image from your [[Frontends|frontend software]] rather than directly launching a game, use this command: -b -n 0000000100000002 -C Dolphin.Core.DefaultISO= — If you're using LaunchBox, make sure to check the option 'Remove space before ROM'.
