* [[Dolphin]] is the only option for Wii emulation. It is updated on a near daily basis and has very good emulation, barring some noticeable issues with GameCube. System requirements are high. In addition, it is recommended to sync a Wii remote to play games, as it can be difficult mapping the motion controls to a controller, especially if MotionPlus is required.
==Wii System Menu Emulation==
Dolphin is capable of running the system menu firmware. To get the system menu BIOS, one needs to use [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/BootMii BootMii] to dump the NAND of the Wii and place the contents in the user's <code>Dolphin Emulator</code> folder in <code>My Documents</code>.
==Wi-Fi Connection==
This was the first Nintendo console to make online a standard feature. The service was discontinued May 20, 2014 for most games.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw</ref> Some games, such as ''Call of Duty'', have been saved by Activision. The ''Wii Shop Channel'' is still operational. However, custom servers exist using [https://wiimmfi.de Wiimmfi], but mostly popular titles are restored.
Dolphin has limited capacity to utilize the Wi-Fi connection of games. It's difficult to get this feature emulated because of the state of disconnection. Wiimmfi might not work in Dolphin. However, recently, Dolphin can connect to the ''Wii Shop Channel''.<ref>https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2017/03/16/proof-of-purchase</ref>
==3DS/DS Connectivity==
An unadvertised feature of the Wii is being able to connect to [[Nintendo DS]]s. A few titles can do it, such as ''Mii Channel'' (hidden feature that can be used in conjunction with a 3DS's Mii Maker application or some DS games<ref>[[Mii#Nintendo DS]]</ref>), ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'', or ''Nintendo Channel''. No Wii or DS emulator supports the connection.
