If intending to use the Wiimote as an ordinary retro controller, the old gamepad behaviour can be restored by going to CONTROLLER & BLUETOOTH SETTINGS → WIIMOTE GUN SETTINGS → MODE and set it to “PAD”. This will render the button inputs on the Wiimote to not appear as a controller's inputs (so they can instead be used as a light gun), making them unmappable. ( confirmation needed)įrom Batocera v35 onwards, Wiimotes will automatically connect to ES as light guns. wireless adapter also supports connecting Classic/NES mini/SNES mini controllers and allowing them to function as though they were Bluetooth controllers.
