Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I'm planning to buy a controller for dolphin. But I don't know which one. Shoul i buy a normal one, or a motion plus one? Is there a big difference + does motion plus work on dolphin?

Both work, but make sure to get a genuine Nintendo Wiimote. Getting a Wiimote Plus depends on the games you're playing. If they require a motion plus, then get one.

What is a genuine? + what games require wiimote plus? And if you play those games with a classic wii mote, is it such a big difference?

I just did some research, there are not a lot of games that support it... But if you play with it, is it such a big difference if you compare it with the classic controller?

+ what is genuine (sorry for asking again)

The difference depends on the game. The Wiimote plus uses motion controls, the classic controller is (old school) buttons and joysticks. Post the games you'd like to play.

Genuine is Wiimotes made by Nintendo. Third-party Wiimotes often work on Wiis, but not Dolphin due to a bug.

Third-party Wiimotes are supposed to work fine now, though I haven't tested myself. http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/detail?r=a65385d99538a73c784e573a78f8a90dc29e26e1

The changes are included in the latest master builds.

OK, I haven't tried either as all my Wiimotes are genuine.

I'm sorry I didn(t mean the classic controller, I meant the "normal"/first wiimote (without motion plus (the cheaper one))...
I would like to play: just dance, michael jackson the experience, donkey kong, mario/wario games, donkey kong, james bond golden eye

So, I just want to know the big difference between the normal wii mote and the wii mote with motion plus... thanks!

I think I would buy this one:

The seller tells me that its an OEM product.

But before I buy it... Can I play motion plus games with this controller? And if you can, whats the big difference between this controller and a motion plus one?

Genuine Wiimote and Wiimote plus should have "Wii" text at the bottom and only Wiimote Plus can play motion plus games
