WiiMote
The easiest method of playing Wii is to use a generic USB or battery powered IR bar, and pair it with a Wiimote. This requires no configuration.
If you have both components, turn on your IR bar, then launch a Wii game. Press "Sync" on your Wiimote. You should see a notification that it connected successfully on the top left of the screen.
Sinden Light Gun
1. Plug the Sinden into any USB port.
2. Hold down the D-pad direction facing the gun barrel until the cursor goes to the center of the screen.
3. Use the sight to line up and shoot the cursor in the center of the screen.
3. Press "Start" on your game controller, select "Quit", then "Restart System" to save your settings and allow the system to fully enable the gun. (restart required every time you unplug and plug the gun back in)

Game Won't Boot
Try using a different emulator to boot the game. While hovering over the game, press and hold "A" until a menu pops up. Navigate to "Advanced Settings", then "Emulator". Select an emulator, then press "Start" to exit. Try booting the game. If it doesn't work, try a different emulator, and boot the game again.
F.A.Q
Why do games for PS3, Wii U and Switch stutter during gameplay?
Emulators for newer systems load new textures and environments on the fly, in a process known as "shader caching". This is how these emulators work, and there is no configuration that will completely eliminate it. It's also not a hardware limitation, and the same stutter will occur even on cutting edge hardware.
Why do PS3 games take so long to load?
The first time a PS3 game loads takes far longer than every time after. This is normal, and there is unfortunately no way to speed the process up.

Change Rendering Resolution
Some consoles will allow you to increase the rendering resolution without affecting performance. When the resolution is increased, jagged edges in older 3D games are smoothed out, which can help older games will look more modern.
This isn't available for most systems. If you change it and performance is affected, you can change it back to the original settings without causing any issues.
To access upscaling options (when available), select a system. While viewing the game wheel for that system, press Select > Advanced System Options. You're looking for the term "Rendering Resolution", not . Then select a multiple of the original resolution. Press B to back out to the game wheel, then start the game.
