Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

No. (Unless you want to mess around with third-party Wiimote remapping programs)

Then I can't use it. I have to be able to use the PC for IR, but that's currently busted. So how does one get the sensor bar working with Dolphin, provided it's stuck in an idling Wii?

You can still use real wiimote with your IR bar connected to your PC.

But how would the IR bar connect to the PC? There's no port for it.

There is if you buy a USB-powered sensor bar online. A quick search on Amazon found me a few that were less than $10 so it's hardly a huge investment. Or, as Bighead said, you could attempt to jerry-rig a power supply directly to it if you feel comfortable with soldering wires and are familiar enough with power sources to know how to choose one that won't make it blow up.

You just turn on the Wii while the sensor bar is plugged into it, and it will work. The sensor bar doesn't need to connect to the PC.

That's fantastic, and should work for now until one of the developer versions fixes the glitch that's going on.

Also, on a side note, is it possible to use a Wii U Gamepad on Dolphin?

Not directly. You would probably need usendmii or something.

Aight, thanks. I'll use the sensor bar for now, and wait until the IR thing resolves itself.
