Description
Game Name?
[Excite Truck] / [ExciteBots] / Any games that use horizontal wiimote and tilt as main input for steering/maneuvering

[N/A - Can't display this on Android]
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
[The tilt is not 'level' on initialisation. The emulated Wiimote pulls to the right when not touching any controls using either touchscreen buttons on phone or when mapping the tilt to an analog stick on Xbox controller. This results in vehicles persistently steering to the right and driving in circles.]
What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Configure controls for horizontal driving game (emulated wiimote, no nunchuck), start game, click through menus to begin level/race, don't touch anything (maybe accelerate). Vehicle steers to right and is impossible to play.]
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
[Yes, present in latest dev release 5.0-13616 (Android)]
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
[Yes, present in latest stable release 5.0-13178 (Android)]
If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
[No applicable but Galaxy S21, Android 11]
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
[After testing around 20 historical builds, I pinpointed the changes that caused this. The issue was not present in 5.0-11301 but first introduced in release 5.0-11309 where Wimote emu changes were made. This issue has also been present and fixed in the prior releases: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8209]
