Controller/Wii mote Advice - Zeroko - 08-22-2014
Hello guys, first post here.
This emulator has really come along way since I used it last back in like 2010 or something, good job.
I was just wanting some simple advice really.
I wanted to set up a wii motion plus controller and numb-chuck etc etc
The problem is I would like some advice on what to buy and/or where to get a good price.
What things would I need to buy (controller, wii-mote, bluetooth etc) to get it working with every game so i don't have to keep buying extras.
TL;DR - What should I buy to feel like Im fully playing the nintendo wii?
Thanks in advance

For the Wiimotes, buy Nintendo Wiimotes, not 3rd party Wiimotes, particularly if you want to play WiiMotion+ games. 3rd party Wiimotes never seem to communicate well with Dolphin.
As for other things, you'll need a bluetooth adapter and (ideally) a Sensor Bar. Sensor Bars are just a line of LED lights, so you can technically make your own (use a string of Christmas lights, even candles work). I would just buy a USB Sensor Bar. They're cheap and just about everywhere online. The bluetooth adapter doesn't have to be anything fancy. Any one will work with Dolphin, and unless you care about how far you can play away from your computer, there isn't much difference between models. I went into Best Buy, bought the first one I could find, and it just worked for me.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to go see what I can find today
