    They also say the controller mapping is a challenge in the emulation software, but doable. It’s the wii version so I bet the aiming and whatnot is going to be wonky when using a controller or kbm vs the other releases.

      Worth noting that the wiimote just uses Bluetooth, so it doesn’t take any specialized equipment to connect to your computer. And Dolphin has built in support for it. The sensor bar was also just a pair of infrared LEDs; All of the actual “sensing” happened at the wiimote directly. So you can just throw a wireless sensor bar (like $15 on amazon) underneath your computer monitor, and it will work fine.

        No, it’s a dev build and a real wii doesn’t have enough memory to run it.

        It’d work on a dev kit, if you had one.

        I would guess it’s possible. I had a friend with a hacked Wii and it could run like anything. Probably easier today than it was then to sideload

        edit: I’m probably wrong! See below
