Happy New Years everyone! Yearly, it’s a tradition for me to play Wii Sports on New years, so i got some screenshots for that tonight. I nearly wasn’t able too as I lost my Wii U power cable and couldn’t find it, but i didn’t let that stop me and i hooked up my PS5 controller to Dolphin and played with it’s Gyroscope.
Some of the games were playable. Not well though. Golf i had to do tiny little taps and it straight up trapped my Mii in a purgatory of Eternal Practice Swings. No matter what i did pressing A did nothing:
I moved on from Golf and to Tennis. it was a bit easier as The Gyroscope was super sensitive. The Miis went all or nothing with it. somehow though i still lost despite having every shot be a 100% basically.
Finally, Bowling kept taking a curve left at the very end. It took me a while to get the Angle Down but i eventually got it. I didn’t get any hole in one’s but i did get a spare.
I didn’t even bother with Boxing because i wasn’t sure how to handle the Gyroscope for the nun-chuck.
I think my lesson learned this year is that i should find my Wii U cables, and probably make that my new years resolution too.
Or you could figure out how to use Wiimotes or Joycons on Dolphin - I’ve done enough searching to know it’s possible, but not enough to tell you how.
To use Wii Motes, the best way is Bluetooth passtrough: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Passthrough The best accuracy is using the original Bluetooth Adapter from a Wii
You used to need GlovePie to set it all up, but I think Dolphin has a driver built in now. You pair the controllers to a PC the same as the console but it was more finicky last time I tried than the pair to console process
