I have both StellaWii and Wii2600 installed, and neither work with my Wiimote. It is an official Nintendo Wii Remote with Wii Motion Plus built into it. When I start StellaWii I do exactly as the instructions on Wiibrew say (Wait for gui to appear, wait 10 seconds, press 1+2, wait 30 seconds) and all that happens is the lights blink but nothing happens onscreen. In Wii2600 the Wiimotes powers off and becomes completely unresponsive, and I have to reset the console manually to get out of it. Seeing as the last update was from 2009, I suspect it's because they only support non-Motion+ Wiimotes. Are there any other 2600 emulators that do support Wiimote+, or a way to make Wiimote+ work with the current ones?

I just looked at both projects. Stella looks like it runs under Wii Linux and Wii2600 hasn't been updated in ages. It might take a while to update the source to compile with the newer devkit versions. :(

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
