[Wii] Cursor missing in menu

[ButtonSmasher_]

Hi Dolphin Users,

I've made a post in Support but found out that's a bit in the wrong section with my problem. I got the Dolphin Emulator and i have lots of fun and done already lots of games with my Gamecube controller. However now i got the Wii Remote and i wanted to test that out, and with the function to bring over Mii's from one wii to the other i tried to bring over my mii's from home to my Emulated wii.

Everything worked out fine i got the WADs to work so i can enter the Wii menu and the Mii channel with another app, But what i can't do is actaully scroll around in the Menu because i can't seem to get my Cursor working. I'm missing a motion sensor is what i found out. Is there a way to use the Wii cursor without a Motion sensor or is it really a must??

What i did think is weird when i play mario kart wii and Super Smash Bro's Brawl it works fine because it's used sideways. Is this a different kind of motion or is something wrong with the channels that i use? I'm clueless because i'm pretty much a beginner to all of this.

A sensor bar is really a must. But it's possible to make a makeshift sensor bar using for instance two candles, in case you don't have a proper one that you can use.

Yes, there are kinds of motion control that don't use the sensor bar. The rule of thumb is that the sensor bar only is used if a cursor is supposed to show up on the screen (though there are exceptions, such as Zelda: Skyward Sword and a specific microgame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves).

Ah okay. Well i do have the Motion Control Plus already from my Own wii with Skyward Sword. I just can't take the Wii from my parents and go off do my own. So i will have to buy a seperate Motion Sensor probably a new controller and then i fingers crossed my Mii's actaully get ported over to the games i have installed.

The porting should work without issue.
