What GCN/Wii hardware/software is unemulated?

[Shonumi]

@Kolano @mbc07 - Good stuff everyone! I honestly keep forgetting how much stuff works with Dolphin simply because it's passed through rather than emulated.

I'd heard about the Cyberbike, but I wasn't sure if it just gave Wiimote-like input, or if its does something more unique. I figure it has to be unique giving the pedals affect the game (afaik). Never heard of the Ride controller though, interesting.

How about the Rockband Drum? (uses a different setup to the Guitar Hero one) 
The Rockband Pro Controllers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Band_3#Pro_mode > A stringed guitar and a 102 button Bass, extra pedals/cymbals for the Drumkit and a Keyboard/Synthesizer/Piano/Keytar thing)
The Rockband 1 default Guitar (it seems to work differently from other Guitars because the GH guitars aren't compatible with this game, even though they are compatible with all other RB's)
The Disney Infinity Base / Portal?

Yes, all of these are unemulated (but work with USB passthrough). The Rock Band 2 drums and guitars too – they have additional features over the Rock Band 1 ones. There is also a MIDI adapter for Rock Band 3 that's unemulated.

@mstreurman - Good call. Added them to the list.

Added a few items to the list. I felt the WiiMotion+ should be added anyway, even if I didn't initially feel it belonged here. Hopefully the PR keeps improving. The PR has been merged in Dolphin, so WiiMotion+ has been removed from the list.

Added SD Card Adapter. I'm not sure Dolphin can handle the extended features (like saving in-game photos) for Dobutsu no Mori e+ or whatever it's called.

Also added something that came to my attention today: The GC Calendar Card. Apparently it's some special EXI device (not a memory card) that is used in conjunction with specific demo disks. Pretty mysterious, but a few folks believe it was used with some Pokemon related demos, or something. Not a lot of info. Someone I know recently got their hands on one:

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

Finally, I did manage to get basic emulation of the Gamecube pedometer (called Inro-kun) finished. I need to update the PR and see if it the current implementation can be merged before working on it further (which requires some GUI tinkering).

Bumping this a bit with the recent changes in Dolphin.

Looks like the uDraw Tablet is emulated. Great job Billiard!

Not sure if this emulated yet the "Logitech USB steering wheel" it was on the Wii and gamecube I think? Its suppose to have some force feedback. Almost picked up one the other day but it was missing the wireless receiver

Is the USB active heart rate monitor emulated? seen in the EA Sports Active series.

It's not emulated, but the real hardware should work with Dolphin if you have it.
