To use a virtual horizontal wiimote, include ".side." in the filename (for example ".side.iso"). You can choose the axis controls among i(nfrared), s(wing), t(ilt) or n(unchuk) : for example, to play mariokart wii, rename it mario_kart.side.ti.iso (to get the tilt on the first axis and infrared on the 2nd one (ti)) for example, to play mario galaxy, rename it mario_galaxy.ni.iso (got get the nunchuk on the first axis and infrared on the 2nd one (ni)) To use custom textures, put them in /userdata/saves/dolphin-emu/Load/Textures/.
