Usually, users will save emulated Wii Remote profiles per game, only mapping what is needed simply because mapping a single configuration for all games is impossible.įor years, Dolphin has used 'Real Wiimote' support to get around these mapping problems. This unique controller is extremely difficult to generically map to standard game controllers. The situation goes from okay to very dicey when we move to the Wii and its titular Wii Remote. While the GameCube Controller has a few trouble spots, such as the analog/digital combo R and L buttons, it can mostly map to a modern controller without issues. Even a PS2 controller can be mapped to an Xbox 360 controller without losing much.įor Dolphin, things get a bit more complicated. Mapping older controllers, such as the SNES controller, to a modern controller is pretty much trivial. But that is only possible because of the standardized button layout that has proliferated throughout consoles. These days, most emulators use pre-configured mappings to allow any controller that uses xinput to be immediately mapped to whatever the original console used.
