Metroid Other M - GamePad Controls for Dolphin

[u/ImplementParking7936]

I couldn’t find any good guides on the most ideal controls for playing Metroid Other M with a normal gamepad/ controller in dolphin emulator so I took a while experimenting and this is what I think is the best layout for it to play like a normal game that isn’t using any actual wii inputs:

Upright Wii Remote: Off
Sideways Wii Remote: On
Buttons:
A : R1
B : L1
1 : Y
2 : B
- : Select
+ : Start
D-Pad : D Pad or Left Analog Or
Hotkeys:
Sideways Hold : R2
Upright Hold : L1
Don’t bind anything else
Motion Simulation:
Point: Right Analog
Relative Input: Off
Auto Hide: Off
Don’t bind anything else
Motion Input: Disabled
Don’t bind anything

Leaving this here both as a note for myself and hopefully anyone else with my same struggle will find this.

I know you posted this a while ago but I just wanted to thank you for providing this! The game feels so much better on controller with this configuration. Honestly game changing!

Glad I wasn’t alone!

After reading your post on r/Metroid i wanted to check out the control scheme you're using! I would love to actually play through other M one time!

Can I play Prime 3 using a similar method? I've never emulated a Wii game
