Nintendo Wii
The Nintendo Wii is a console developed by Nintendo. It was
released on November the 19th, 2006 and retailed for $249.99
USD.
The Wii sports a IBM PowerPC CPU at 729 MHz with 88MB of RAM,
and a GPU infamously created by ATI (Wii consoles have “ATI”
printed on its shell) dubbed the “Hollywood” chip. Its internal
architecture is very similar to its predecessor, the GameCube, so
Dolphin supports running both Wii and GameCube games. In fact,
some GameCube games can be more difficult to run than Wii
games.
Dolphin is pretty much the only Wii emulator.
This system scrapes metadata for the wii group and loads the
wii set from the currently selected theme, if available.

BIOS
The libretro version of Dolphin requires its NAND to be stored in bios/dolphin-emu/Sys.
The standalone version will generate the needed files on first launch.
ROMs
Some users have reported issues with using regular traditional controllers as Wiimotes in
Wii games if the game loaded has the .cc.rvz extension. Renaming this extension to
.nkit.iso solved the issue for them (no actual conversion was done, just renaming).
Place your Wii ROMs in /userdata/roms/wii.
