Well you must press the "ESC" key anyway...
But you can map the "ESC" key to something on the pad/wiimote
Mine is mapped to START + SELECT + PRESSING THE RIGHT STICK on the Xbox 360.
It's an hard combination but at least i won't press it by mistake
For the mapping software you can use wathever you want... i use autohotkey
Hope this will help
Is the Steam overlay still working for people with the latest revisions? Catabarez's method still works great for launching the game, but I can't for the life of me get the Steam Overlay to work with it.
EDIT: I'm using 4.0 on Windows 8.1 x64.

On Win8 x64 too, overlay work with Dolphin 4 x86 but not with the x64 version.
I've been doing this all day and have stumbled across a problem: every time you open a game, you open it with a "new" dolphin right off the bat meaning that you are not able to connect the wii remote unless all games are using the same sole dolphin application or I alt+tab out of each one when I want to play to connect the wii remote which would kind of defeat the purpose of using them with steam. (just 1 that applies to all of them) I don't know if my point is going through, how do I get around this? My goal is to have one wii remote paired to one single dolphin.exe where all the games come from and can use that wii remote with all games (not having to stand up and reconnecting the wii remote evety time I want to play one on steam)

Use the OpenGL Backend .

You just want to jump from a game to another inside the same running Dolphin.exe using steam?
I don't think is possible to do this at the moment.
...but I do not have the reconnection problem.
If you do it this way you should't have any problem...:
- you open a game via Steam
- you press ESC to quit (or whatever putton you have binded to ESC)
- you open another game via Steam
- you press A on the wiimotes you want to pair/use and you're ready to go

That did the trick, thanks! Too bad OpenGL performance isn't as high as DX11, though.
Hey guys sorry I've been away for a while. What is this I hear about Dolphin not working with the overlay anymore?
Here's an interesting better way to add to Steam if you don't use bat files:
Create a shortcut to Dolphin.
Name it the game you want to launch.
Add that to Steam as a non-steam game.
Edit the item in Steam and add the launch options mentioned before.
Good to go.
Better than creating many copies of the exe!
Note that adding launch options to the shortcut it self is no good, Steam seems to follow the shortcut to the exe directly.
You don't even need to use the shortcut.
It's worth mentioning that the steam overlay entirely breaks dolphin's visuals the last I checked (~4-14xx-ish), by the way, so using dolphin with steam is more likely to cause headaches than let you tell your annoying friend to stop messaging you when you're playing paper mario.
Also, I'd like to point out that you shouldn't bump really old threads like this without some truly useful input.
