Controllers question - mva5580 - 02-13-2010
So I've recently started using Dolphin, and I'm utterly amazed at the fact that New Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Galaxy, and Smash Brothers Brawl all work amazingly well w/o really having to mess with much of anything. The music cuts out in Galaxy, sometimes Brawl's FPS goes down a bit, but really all 3 games seem to work really well with little to no messing around with settings, etc.
Anyway the one thing I'm trying to get sorted out is what controller I use with the games. My first inclination is to obviously hook up the Wii remote/nunchuck, but how exactly do I go about doing this? What do I use for a "sensor," if that's even possible? I didn't see an FAQ at the top of the screen for this so I'm just asking a general question that I'm sure has been asked before, so I apologize for that. I'm using an Xbox 360 controller right now and while it works, obviously I would use a real Wii controller if it's easy enough to get setup, use, etc. Oh and if it makes any difference, these are really the only 3 games I will ever most likely play on the emulator. Thank you for any assistance!

You need to buy USB bluetooth module, a wiimote and IR sensor bar if you want to use pointer.

So I'm guessing Fry's Electronics would probably have something that would work for the IR bar? And I mean does it have to be in a similar size/orientation as the Wii sensor bar? I figured I'd have to buy the bluetooth module, the whole sensor thing is what I'm unsure of. Just want to make sure I get one that works.

IR bar is only piece of plastic with IR diodes inside. I buyed cheapest IR bar i found on eBay for few € and it works
