Rearrange button layout for real Wiimote? - Nintendo Maniac 64 - 11-22-2013
A very simple question, is it possible to rearrange the button layout in Dolphin when using a real Wiimote? All I want to do is swap the A and B buttons.
The issue is that the game in question (Wii Sports Resort) does not allow you to change your button configuration. Also there's also no Gecko code made for the game to do this (there is a Gecko code for Resident Evil 4: Wii to swap A, B, and Z).
This would also be extremely useful for Metroid Prime Trilogy's multiplayer, but last time I checked you couldn't even launch the multiplayer in Dolphin - it just launched Metroid Prime 2: Echoes single player instead (for reference there's is no button-remapping Gecko code for MPT as well).

Nope, not possible right now.

:( I haz a sad.
Any idea if there's some kind of technical limitation preventing such functionality or if it's just a case of "nobody thought of it before"?

There's very likely a way to do a bitswap here and there (or something) in the data the Wii Remote reports between Dolphin receiving it and the game receiving it, it's likely just that nobody cared enough to implement this.
