Description

I have made a ahk file to do this but it would be nice if this was done by Dolphin. If a option in the settings can be made and when this option is checked off, instead of launching a Wii game and booting up the game it will boot up the system menu with the game inserted into the Wii. Here is how I achieved this with authotkey scripts.

First create a file and name it Script.ahk and this is code for Script.ahk below. You will need to change the variables since the directories on your computer may vary with mine.

`ApplicationDirectory = C:\Program Files\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe
SystemMenuWADDirectory = C:\Users\John\Documents\Games\Nintendo Wii\System Menu.wad
iniDirectory = C:\Users\John\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Config\Dolphin.ini

IniWrite, %1%, %iniDirectory%, Core, DefaultISO
Run, "%ApplicationDirectory%" /e "%SystemMenuWADDirectory%" /b`

Then create another script and this is code for it below...
Run, Script.ahk "C:\Users\John\Documents\Games\Nintendo Wii\Wii Sports.ciso"

When you run the second script it will launch Dolphin with the system menu but it will have the Wii Sports game ready to go.

All that is needed for this to work is for Dolphin to write to the Dolphin.ini file and then instead of launching the game it will launch the system menu. This way users can enjoy that classic Wii bootup just like how other emulators do this same. Dolphin has an option to Skip the Bios and some people wish not to so they can hear that classic Gamecube startup sound. This is the same thing but for the Wii.
