Dolphin emu and wii controllers? - Silithas - 04-25-2013
Hey, will i be able to play wii games like skyward sword if i just buy the motion thingy and the controllers including motion plus?

As long as you buy a real Wiimote (not 3rd party) with Motion Plus from Nintendo, you shouldn't have any problems with LoZ-SS with Dolphin. So yes, real Wiimotes are supported by Dolphin.
You'll need a sensor bar (or rather some light source, candles work) and a Bluetooth adapter though.

Ok, i called gamestop now to hear what they had and they had the wii controllers with buildt in motion plus and the wireless sensor, will the wireless one support regular laptop bluetooth? (the laptop has bluetooth 4.0)

Sensor bar doesn't depend on BT. Wireless models work with batteries

You don't connect it. There's an on/off button and that's all
. Actually sensor bar is just a source of light spots for your Wiimote. Nothing more. As Shonumi said some candles may work too

Ok, but how do i then use the controllers with my pc?

For your Wiimote(s) Bluetooth is needed. An inbuilt BT adapter or an external one (dongle) + a BT stack (Microsoft or Toshiba preferably).
You said you had Bluetooth on your laptop so you should already have both
