Xtemulation Forums: How to play with a keyboard? - Xtemulation Forums

Okay, I know it is probably very dumb question to you guys, and it is probably so obvious that it is why I didnt find out yet. But still, I've been searching for days how to play Dolphin with my keyboard..

Don't tell me to use google or forum search, I did in did not find out. I must be blind.
So now I'm just asking ...

Thx in advance,
Karl.

You'll have to use the KB/X360 pad plugin which should work with the keyboard and allow you to map keys. For Wii games you'll have to record movements to the keyboard in the configuration for games that require you to tilt or move the Wiimote.

The shake function of the Wiimote should also be automatically mapped to the middle mouse button in the newest revisions, to make it easier to play Wii games without a Wiimote.

I hope my answe was sufficient to help you, I've never played with a keyboard myself since I use my Xbox 360 controller and Wiimote with my sensor bar.

I have tried, it worked fine with some lower Build, but with lastest build, it wont work.
The thing is, I want to netplay too.. so that's why I am trying to get it to work with lastest build.

The Wiimote plugin was broken up until revision 3665. Download revision 3665 or newer to see if you can now map keys and movements now.

I'll see if I can find something explaining what to do and post it here.

I use 3665.
But do I really need Wiimote Plugin? Because it is to play gamecube and not wii.

If it's just Gamecube games then you don't need to use the Wiimote plugin. Just use the KB/X360 plugin, use the pre-configured controls or map your own controls to the keyboard.
