Considering buying Wiimotes - fixiie - 01-25-2016
Hey, im considering buying 4x wiimotes + nunchucks but i'm worried i'll buy wrong, i saw on a youtube video that you need the official wiimote for it to work but i wanted some confirmation.
Will this work for dolphin? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-Wiimote-Built-in-Motion-Plus-Remote-Controller-Case-for-Nintendo-Wii-White-/111476809882?hash=item19f489209a:g:vfkAAOSwPe1ULLy3
thanks in advance

Real wiimotes are about the only ones that will work, I doubt those ones are real.

It's 40$ on amazon which is like 4x the price, don't think im ready to buy that. Isn't there any other site that has it cheaper?

I'm using these:

Cheap and works perfectly, but the quality of cables is not too good. I've been using these remotes for about 1,5 years now and cables are starting to break. I'm also 100% sure these are not original wiimotes
. Also the price includes wiimotes + nunchucks.

I really suggest buying an official Wiimote, or even a Wiimote+ (so you can play the games that need the Motion Plus). Unofficial Wiimotes are not guaranteed to work with Dolphin and their quality is often lower (that's subjective though).

Thus, there's absolutely no guarantee that those fake/3rd-party Wiimotes will remain functional with Dolphin (e.g. although unlikely, a future code refactor could do something different that breaks 3rd-party Wiimote support)...

eBay might be your best bet for used controllers. Nintendo was selling some refurbished ones but are now out of stock. I bought a used wii remote motion + with nunchuck for $25.
