Exiting Dolphin via onscreen 'Wii Menu' button

[midget35]

Is it possible to exit Dolphin completely by:

- Hitting the Home button while playing a game.
- Selecting the onscreen Wii Menu button?

It throws an error at present. Would be great to suss this out for my htpc system.

Many thanks!

No, this is currently not possible.

- If you're using a real Wii remote, you can't map the Home button to the Exit hotkey.
- It wouldn't make sense for Dolphin to exit when the emulated software asks us to launch the System Menu, even as an option. (You could write a homebrew that just shuts down the console, but that sounds like a lot of effort. )

Ideally there would be a way to shut down the emulated Wii just by turning off the remote (just like on console), but that currently doesn't work for some reason... I don't know how the remote poweroff mechanism works, and no one has documented it.
