Yes it is.
it's not really an analog one, but the "dolphin wiimote plugin" believe it have :
"Analog1" move from values [color=#FF0000]0[/color] to [color=#006400]128 [/color]to [color=#0000CD]255[/color] when I move the pad from [color=#FF0000]left [/color]to [color=#006400]center [/color]to [color=#0000CD]right[/color].

And, when I try to asign wiimote-Left and wiimote-right keys to the left and right of my pad, the plugin does not recognize them... like if it were analog ones.

I don't know if this has been requested before or not, but now that real wiimote support is getting better, I'd love to see a proper wiimote calibration to correct wii pointer position on screen. I know wii doesn't have one but it should be doable on PC. This would also make Dolphin usable on big screens, currently I have to downsize the screen to be able to use wiimotes properly.

What I'm talking about is kinda the same thing that has been done on Ghost Recon, that game has internal calibration routines so when you shoot somewhere in screen, it's also the actual location too.

I know there are limitations, like calibration is dependant on where you stand, but it would still make a great deal if such would be there. Even simple multiplier value for IR x,y sensitivity would help!

More of the configuration settings should be available to set on a per-game basis. In particular, I'd like to see this for the following settings:
-CPU emulator engine
-frame limit
-enable cheats
-widescreen hack
-level of anisotropic filtering / anti-aliasing
-aspect ratio
-screen resolution
-safe texture cache mode
-which plugin(s) to use for graphics/input/audio

I'm sure there are additional settings that would be useful to have change on a per-game basis, but the ones listed just struck me as being most-beneficial.

The "Delete ISO" option should be removed from the Game List as it is really UNSAFE. Mi kid accidentally erased all of my ISOS and now I have to redump them. Dodgy

Just a safety measure that will save us a lot of time for some of us who do let their kids play with this emu. Tongue

Your kid could also format your hard disk with 3-4 clicks. Wanna disable your mouse ?

Let's get serious, auto-reconnect for the first wiimote !

GodRays, your argument is a silly one. The solution you so humorously offered is meant to illustrate your point that by disabling the mouse, properly using the rest of the computer becomes overly complicated. Removing the "Delete ISO" option from the context-menu as Kernel64 suggested, would not inhibit the user's ability to properly operate the emulator. Furthermore, I think it's safe to say that the feature is redundant, seeing as how a user can manually delete an ISO in the same manner as deleting any other file on their computer.

xDDDD, If I want to erase anything I use the OS for that , Dolphin is buggy even in that kind of things. And seriously, I think that nobody uses that function ( I didn't even knew that it existed )

I already did a patch for that http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-7131-post-72146.html#pid72146

It can be done , but the iso proreties list would be huge

We don't even have a proper calibration for the mouse Tongue

, but the last time I used the pointer It wasn't that bad , the problem is that the games and the wiimote are made to work with big sized screens

Just two tinny problems :
1_People would not know what , for example, "HLE the IPL" means
2_I think that Chuck Norris or this guys invented the scrollbar Tongue
