RiiConnect24, as of version 5.0-16718, is built into Dolphin. However, with some WADs, you may need to use the RiiConnect24 Patcher (select Wii instead of Dolphin).

The wording is not correct as RiiConnect24 is not built-in to Dolphin. Rather, WiiConnect24 is built-in.


// Get the element with id="defaultOpen" and click on it
document.getElementById("defaultOpen").click();
</script>
RiiConnect24 support with some WADs is inconsistent. Mario Kart Wii competitions currently do not work.
