[MotionPlus] My own keyboard controls for LoZ Skyward Sword

[y3804]

Hey Community,

Using the unreleased version of Dolphin 3.0-261, which includes emulation for MotionPlus and a great deal of visual fixes, I have played through Loz Skyward Sword using my keyboard and mouse.
I just wanted to share my thanks, so I'm uploading my own keyboard controls which worked through the entire game with absolutely no problems. I got past the eyes in about five seconds.
Profiles are attached to this thread

You will need to use another profile for the eye though, which I'm also uploading here.
This is because the bird, beetle, eye and sword (not talking about attacks here) movements are controlled by IR Left/Right and not IR Forward/Backward.
In theory you should use two different profiles, but replacing the cursor X-Axis movements in the IR Left/Right sections with some hotkeys should do the job. (Although less playable)
This leads to a single problem that you will encounter during the game when controlling the bird and beetle; you won't be able to control left and right movement using the mouse,
and you may not swing your mouse to the left or to the right (only vertically) to fly the bird/beetle. Basically, the mouse is used to move the bird/beetle vertically, while hotkeys can be used for horizontal movement.
Other movements such as sword attacks are not affected, as they are controlled by IR Forward/Backward.

P.S. For the Eye, simply use the ProfileForEye.ini profile and make large mouse circles, without going too fast or it will swing. You should be done under five seconds.
For about everything else, use the BasicProfile.ini profile. Place profiles in Dolphin\User\Config\profiles\wiimote directory

Well, builds from emulated motion plus branch are extremely outdated, thus, unsupported in the forums. It's OK to play the beginning of Skyward Sword but you won't be able to map more complex control schemes needed to make further progress in game. It's VERY unlikely that you'll even be able to finish the game only with the emulated motion plus branch, and this already was discussed several times in other threads. Closed
