There is no BIOS files needed to run games.
{% hint style="info" %} The following controllers can be autoconfigured from RetroBat to Dolphin:
- REAL Wiimotes (with Dolphinbar) / default
- XInput controllers
- Dualshock 4 and Dualsense controllers
- Nintendo Switch Pro controller
- Original Gamecube controller through Gamecube Adapter {% endhint %}
For best experience, you can use real Wiimotes with a Mayflash DolphinBar (in mode 4) and activate the REAL WIIMOTES setting in Retrobat from the System View Options or from the Game Options
Wiimote type : select REAL
If you do not own a real wiimote and need to emulate the wiimote, Retrobat offers multiple options to correctly emulate it and use all its features with a gamepad when enabling the option EMULATED WIIMOTE
The mapping hereunder is the default mapping when using EMULATED

| RB (R1) | + |
This mapping will not suit all games, this is why we have added an addition setting to configure more precisely the way the wiimote is emulated with your gamepad
There is a long list of available options explained below
{% hint style="info" %} Note that these options can also be achieved by using specific naming conventions in your ROM files when the option EMULATED is active for WIIMOTE TYPE setting {% endhint %}
List of options for EMULATED WIIMOTES
This will enable the classic controller mapping. For games supporting the Classic Controller (e.g. Super Smash Bros WII), this will be the best option.

| L2 | Shake |
| SELECT | - |

| L1 | Tilt left |
| R1 | Tilt right |
(ROM name example : New Super Mario WII.side.iso)

| Option | Left Stick | Right Stick | ROM flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| NUNCHUK/CURSOR | Nunchuk joystick | IR cursor movement | .ni. |
| CURSOR/NUNCHUK | IR cursor movement | Nunchuk joystick | .in. |
(ROM name example : Super Mario Galaxy.ni.iso or Super Mario Galaxy.in.iso)
