Dolphin Emulator

[greatflash]

Ok, I just wanted to give a little 'heads up' to anyone who runs the Dolphin Emulator to play Wii games.

This is a damn fine emulator that has always had one minor problem. Mapping a gamepad and mouse to represent a WiiMote is a major chore and never gives a satisfactory experience during play, except for some games like Super Mario (though you still need 'shake').

So, I decided to link a WiiMote to my bluetooth. Results were good-ish. You cannot (of course) use the pointer function, and each time you turn the mote off (unless you mess about with non-microsoft bluetooth stacks) you had to re-connect it again. So, did a bit of searching on the netty-noo-noo.

I discovered a thingy called a DolphinBar and decided to grab one. Well, all i can say is Awesome! Not only does it fix ALL problems, but you can also map light guns and wheels to pc inputs. Pointing works a treat and it does not interfere with existing bluetooth or anything else. Also, works swimmingly on Win10 64bit as well. A very fine and rewarding purchase.

So, thought I would post it here in case no-one had noticed it before. I certainly did not know of its existence.

"May Flash"?? Relation? You on commission?

Thanks for the steer - Dolphin is one tidy emu + this will be useful to come back to when re-setting it up.

Yeah. It's all me. Lol. 

Will have to rename it "June Flash" now though.

I do like to trumpet something that is both cheap and wonderful though.

I miss trumpeting the cheap and the wonderful.

I've had one for quite a while, we talked about it in another thread. And I gotta say, it is everything you say it is. And only $20!

Have it. Love it. In the process of building a higher powered pc to be able to use it more. 

It does work decently as a light gun replacement for MAME as well.

 

Mayflash controller adapters work well also if you want to use your old timey controllers on the pc.
