Emulation Wii

  1. Retrobat wii

Controls

Wii is the most annoying console to emulate (without standard wii controls). Trying to find controls that work is very difficult. The default auto doesn't seem to work right. We need to tell retrobat we want to use a standard controller instead of real wii controller. To do this we need to set Wiimote Type to Emulated.
Controls -> Wiimote Type -> Emulated.

I recommend we set this at the wii system level under Advanced Config.
Main Menu -> Game Settings -> Per System Advanced Configuration -> Wii -> Controls -> Wiimote Type -> Emulated.

WIIMOTE Horizontal

This is the default layout that should be used for games requiring you to hold the wiimotes sideways, this can be useful for games such as New Super Mario Bros Wii

Cursor - There is a pointer at the tip of the wii that when pointed at the screen acts like a mouse. In animal crossing this is the hand.
