[[Dolphin]] is the only option for Wii emulation. This is probably due to the project going open source, allowing more developers to pursue it early in the lifespan of the console. It's updated on a near daily basis and is very good, barring some noticeable issues with GameCube games. System requirements are high. In addition, it is recommended to sync a Wii remote to play games for two reasons, mainly that it can be difficult mapping the motion controls to a controller, and MotionPlus has not been emulated at this time.<references group=N />

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.
===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 ended in on 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.
===DS Connectivityconnectivity===
An unadvertised feature of the Wii is being able to connect to the [[Nintendo DS emulators|Nintendo DS]] (and by extension, the DSi and the 3DS through their respective retro-compatibility features). A few DS titles<ref>[[Wikipedia:Mii#Nintendo DS]]</ref> can do it, including but not limited to:
* ''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''
==Controllers==
===Wiimote===
The main selling point of the Wii - motion control devices relying on gyroscopic sensors to detect motion, and an IR sensor plus a "Wii Sensor Bar" on the top or bottom of the TV screen (which is just 2 red LEDs, and you can easily even use two candles on each side of the screen to get the exact same effect) to detect the screen and simulate pointers. Optionally, a nunchuck with an analog pad can be plugged to into the Wiimote, and it also has its own gyroscopic controls. Some other, yet less common add-ons may be plugged in too.
You can simulate these controls with one of these modes:
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.
[https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2019/04/26/mastering-motion/ As of May 2019], Dolphin now, includes the official Dolphin builds only allow option for using a '''an emulated MotionPlus controller, though some minor issues remain and configuration is still being figured out. 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 can 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 thembe used.
However, one old unofficial branch from 2011 by jpeterson offered emulated Wiimotion+ with a somewhat intimidating setup menu for all ==Arcade Variations=====Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars===Capcom's Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars is the bindingsonly arcade game that runs on Wii based hardware, which is why it's best used with the real thing under the "Hybrid Wiimote" setting. Links for it supports JVS inputs, has no Wi-Fi and its source are deadBluetooth hardware, sadly enough. It was recently ported by and runs a kind soul to the latest versions specifically developed version of Dolphin Wii iOS which has no system menu and may be downloaded from these links along with an [[Xbox 360 emulators|Xbox 360]] controller preset optimized for Skyward Swordboots right into the game after powered on.
