Nintendo Wii
The Nintendo Wii is a console developed by Nintendo. It was
released on November the 19th, 2006 and retailed for $249.99
USD.
The Wii sports a IBM PowerPC CPU at 729 MHz with 88MB of RAM,
and a GPU infamously created by ATI (Wii consoles have "ATI"
printed on its shell) dubbed the "Hollywood" chip. Its internal
architecture is very similar to its predecessor, the GameCube, so
Dolphin
supports running both Wii and GameCube games. In fact,
some GameCube games can be more difficult to run than Wii
games.
Dolphin is pretty much the only Wii emulator.
This system scrapes metadata for the wii group and loads the
wii set from the currently selected theme, if available.
Quick reference
Accepted ROM formats: .gcm, .iso, .gcz, .ciso, .wbfs, .wad, .rvz, .elf, .dol, .m3u,
.json
Folder: /userdata/roms/wii
Emulators
Dolphin
libretro: Dolphin
BIOS
The libretro version of Dolphin requires its NAND to be stored in bios/dolphin-emu/Sys.
The standalone version will generate the needed files on first launch.
ROMs
Some users have reported issues with using regular traditional controllers as Wiimotes in
Wii games if the game loaded has the .cc.rvz extension. Renaming this extension to
.nkit.iso solved the issue for them (no actual conversion was done, just renaming).
Place your Wii ROMs in /userdata/roms/wii.

    Your GPU might not be strong enough to calculate the caches in real-time while playing. This can be worked around by activating the PRE-CACHE SHADERS wii.wait_for_shaders setting, at the cost of having to wait a while on your next launch of the game (one time only).
