+We can use the Wiimote as if though it were connected to an original Wii, just instead of the Wii it's the emulated Wii running inside of Batocera. To do this, the Wiimote must **not** be paired to Batocera while in the EmulationStation menu, only after launching a Wii game using the Dolphin emulator. When Dolphin is launched, put the Wiimote into pair mode and it will pair. That's it. Use the IR bar as you would a normal Wii, place it either at the top or bottom of the TV screen and point at it for the on-screen Wiimote cursor.
 This will work for as long as the Bluetooth dongle itself supports communicating with the Wiimote.

+This method cannot be used simultaneously with pairing the Wiimote in EmulationStation (the main menu), as that will use the ordinary method of attempting to map the current controller to an emulated GameCube controller (by default)/Wiimote instead of the native interface.
 (FIXME unless you choose the "gamepad" option for the wiimote gun settings? Needs confirmation)
+It is possible to sync the Wiimote to ES and then to re-sync again after opening Dolphin by using the temporary sync mode (hold ''[1]'' and ''[2]'' on the Wiimote) so it only remembers for that session if you intend on using the Wiimote to play systems other than Wii as well.
