The '''[[wikipedia:Wii|Wii]]''' is a seventh-generation home video game console by Nintendo released on November 19, 2006 , and priced for at {{Inflation|USD|249.99|2006}}. It has an IBM PowerPC CPU at 729 MHz with 88MB 88 MBs of RAM and an ATI Hollywood GPU.The Wii was a huge success with 101.63 million units sold, beating the likes of the Xbox 360 and PS3 by being cheaper and attracting a large number of casual gamers and non-gamers. Because of the similarity between the Wii 's and the [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]]'s similarity, Wii emulation happened very quickly through GameCube emulation.

;Emulators:;[[Dolphin]] <small class="plainlinks" style="font-weight:normal;">([https://dolphin-emu.org/compat/ compatibility])</small>: is the 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 console's lifespan of the console. It's updated on a near-daily basis and is very compatible, barring some noticeable issues with GameCube games. In addition, it is recommended to sync a Wii remote to play games, mainly because it can be difficult mapping the motion controls to a controller.

As of 5.0-4588, it is possible to automatically get the System Menu , along with all other system software automatically , by performing an online update (in the Tools menu). ===Wii Optical Disc===The Wii Optical Disc (RVL-006) is the physical game medium for the Wii, created by Panasonic. Nintendo extended its proprietary technology to use a full size 12 cm, 4.7/8.54 GB DVD-based disc, retaining the benefits of the GameCube Game Disc, and adding the standard capacity of a double-layer DVD-ROM. Wii Discs always include a partition with files to update the Wii system software, which are installed before starting the game if needed. This ensures that systems that cannot connect to the Internet are still updated. For the same reasons as the GameCube, the Wii cannot play DVD-Videos or CDs. However, earlier Wiis can play DVD-Video using [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|homebrew]] such as WiiMC.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_optical_discs#Wii_Optical_Disc]

==Connectivity=====Wi-Fi Connection==={{main*Dolphin has support for Wii Optical Disc dumps/[[Save_disk_space_for_ISOs#GameCube_.2F_Wii|Dolphin Online}}This was the first Nintendo console images]]. But unfortunately most regular optical drives for PCs are unable to read Gamecube & Wii discs, so you need to make online rip your discs. However you can use some out-of-print models of DVD drives which may read GC and Wii discs but even then you'll need a standard featurecompatible software tool to dump it. See [[Ripping_games]] page for more information. The service was discontinued on May 20, 2014Other than that, there is no support for DVD-Video if you plan to use Dolphin with WiiMC [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|homebrew]] software for most gamesDVD-Video.<ref>http*Virtual Wii has support for Wii Optical Disc ([https://wwwyoutu.be/4iaq_mKn7mE demonstration]).nintendoIt cannot play DVD-Videos though, but we don't know if it's possible to play DVD-Videos using Virtual Wii and [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|homebrew]] software (similar to earlier Wii models as mentioned above).comAccording to some user reports it's possible with using external optical drive[https:/whatsnew/detailgbatemp.net/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw<threads/full-dvd-playback-on-wiiu-vwii-wiimc-lg-drive.500189/ref> Dragon Quest X continued to support the service until November 2017, and ].*See [[Home_Media_Player#Emulators|this dedicated page]] for more information about home media playback support for the Wii Shop Channel ended on January 30, 2019. Online emulation improved enough to cover these while they were still functionalsoftwares. A Wii NAND is required and there are some restrictions on what controllers are allowed*See [[Ripping_games]].

====DS connectivity====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). [https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Wii-to-DS_connectivity 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) <ref>[[Wikipedia:Mii#Nintendo DS]]</ref>

Unlike with [[GameCube_emulators#GC.2FGBA_Cable|GameCube/GBA connectivity]], this feature is still not yet emulated. So far, neither [[Dolphin]] nor any [[Nintendo DS emulatorsNintendo_DS_emulators#Connectivity|Nintendo DS emulator]] so far supports this feature. ===Controllers===

==Controllers===Wii Remote==Wiimote===The main selling point of the Wii - is its motion control devices relying on gyroscopic sensors to detect motionto detect the screen and simulate pointers, and an IR sensor plus , and a "Wii Sensor Bar" on the top or bottom of the TV screen (which . The "Wii Sensor Bar" is just 2 red LEDs, and you can even use two candles on each side of the screen to get the same effect) to detect the screen and simulate pointers. Optionally, a nunchuck with an analog pad can be plugged into the Wiimote, and it also has its own gyroscopic controls. Some other, yet less common add-ons may be plugged in too.

* '''Bluetooth Passthrough''' (since 5.0-910). This allows exposing directly exposes a Bluetooth adapter to the emulated software directly, bypassing all host stack limitations. Given With a good enough adapter, this mode guarantees identical connectivity and behavior to the Wii.* '''Real Wiimote:''' Controlled only with an actual, physical Wiimote, connected to the PC with Bluetooth. You may need to hold 1+2 on the Wiimote before clicking "Pair" in Dolphin.* '''Emulated Wiimote:''' Controlled only with a keyboard or gamepad controls you set up in the configuration. Considering the motion controls were basic enough for the first Wiimote, there are just options to set the directions for "Tilt", "Swing" , and "Shake". The IR sensor is mapped to the mouse by default, though the option to go towards toward the screen is empty by default but available for remapping. The Nunchuck has its own motion controls. Depending on the game, you can just set up a few of these (typically, a button dedicated for to shaking) and leave the rest empty. With presets, you can have each game use its own configuration. There are settings for sideways and vertical Wiimote positions.* '''Hybrid Wiimote:''' Allows for using both emulated controls and real Wiimote controls. Can It can be useful to control the IR pointer with a mouse in case there's no sensor bar. This feature has been removed since 5.0-7038.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2018/06/03/dolphin-progress-report-april-and-may-2018/#50-7038-remove-hybrid-wii-remote-by-josjuice |title = 5.0-7038 - Remove Hybrid Wii Remote by JosJuice}}</ref>

===Wiimote+=Wii MotionPlus====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 option for an emulated MotionPlus controller, though some minor issues remain , and configuration is still being figured out.
