As of now, the official Dolphin builds only allow for using a '''real''' Wiimotion Plus controller to control these games, with no option for an emulated Wiimote+ with a keyboard or gamepad controls. "Emulated Wiimote" only covers gyroscopic controls for the regular Wiimote model. It's also very low on the list of priorities for the developers right now; they won't do it, but at least will consider if someone else did it in a way "good enough" for them. However, one old unofficial branch from 2011 by jpeterson offered emulated Wiimotion+ with a somewhat intimidating setup menu for all the bindings, which is why it's best used with the real thing under the "Hybrid Wiimote" setting. Links for it and its source are dead, sadly enough. It was recently ported by a kind soul to the latest versions of Dolphin and may be downloaded from these links along with an [[Xbox 360 emulators|Xbox 360]] controller preset optimized for Skyward Sword. * [httphttps://github.com/john-peterson/dolphin-emu.org/treeblog/input Reupload of the source, based on 2011 master]* [http:2019/04/mega.nz26/#!wEMGRRSQ!vv8EDy7EGISBk0GBHjTfiexQ4rBevEJSmastering-BPYlZwBT8E Based on motion/ As of May 2017 master (git#54dcd3a)2019]* [https://github, Dolphin now includes the option for an emulated MotionPlus controller, though some minor issues remain and configuration is still being figured out.

===Wi-Fi Connection===
{{main|Dolphin Online}}
This was the first Nintendo console to make online a standard feature. The service was discontinued on May 20, 2014, for most games.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw</ref> Dragon Quest X continued to support the service until November 2017, and support for the Wii Shop Channel will end ended in January 30, 2019. Online emulation improved enough to cover these while they were still functional. A Wii NAND is required and there are some restrictions on what controllers are allowed.
Custom servers for some of the more popular games exist thanks to the [https://wiimmfi.de Wiimmfi] project. However, some popular servers ban emulator users who drop frames since it can give some unfair competitive advantages. There are various No-Intro sets that include DLC data for the games that used to have it that can be installed.
* ''Mii Channel'' (a hidden feature that can be used in conjunction with a 3DS's Mii Maker application or some DS games)
* ''Pokémon Battle Revolution''
* ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of FateTime''
* ''Nintendo Channel''
The enhanced incarnation of the Wiimote with better motion detection. It was used to great effect for improved swordplay in Wii Sports Resort and The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. However, with this improvement comes additional complexity for setting up the gyroscopic controls.
