They all run fine from Configurable USB Loader, but it doesn't have built-in support for private servers. Meanwhile I can't get Mario Kart to load at all from USB Loader GX there are a bunch of other games that don't want to load either. It's kinda hard to tell if it can't find any other players because it's not working or because there is nobody else currently trying to play Super Smash Bros Brawl online using a hacked Wii or emulator.

The good news is that Dolphin supports that stuff out of the box without requiring any third-party libraries (other than a working Bluetooth connection).
I've always wondered how Metroid Prime Trilogy would play with WASD and mouselook, but I never got it running well enough to find out.īut yeah for games where you want motion controls, you'd need to buy a Wii Remote, probably a nunchuck, and either one of the off-brand sensor bars with its own power source or make your own (using the candle trick or whatever). Something like Super Mario Galaxy would be trickier, but playable (strictly speaking you don't need Star Bits). Twilight Princess is just a GameCube game with motion controls grafted onto it I think you could pretty trivially map the two different directions of sword attacks onto buttons (though I haven't tried it). Need for peripherals, of course, depends on the game stuff like Mario Kart or Smash Bros would be fine to play with any old gamepad (though, again, those games have pretty limited appeal without the online component). I haven't really tried it for GameCube games I hear good things and I imagine they probably run a lot faster than Wii games.
Of course, this was years ago, and I only tested on a couple games (New SMB Wii and Metroid Prime Trilogy, the latter of which, at least at the time, had serious compatibility issues anyway), so I don't know how representative my brief experience was. I tried using it a little, when my Wii first broke I found that even on a pretty beefy system, I couldn't get a decent framerate above 480p, which means I don't get the benefit of upscaling. I heard good things, but I've gone to such considerable effort to get my Wii working that I feel obligated to use the real thing instead of emulation now.
