Is there a way to set up different controls for different games on the same platform?

I am getting quite confused about how to get this done.

I have different dolphin games for the wii; some use the gamepad, some the wiimote, some the wiimote sideways. Every time I play a game I need to go in the settings of Dolphin and change up the controls. This may work on a computer but I have my computer in a cabinet, so I have to grab the keyboard and mouse every time I run a different game that require me to change the controls.

Is there a way to solve this? I understand that this is related to how the emulator handle controllers, but is there a way to pass controller settings parameters directly from Launchbox, so when you run a game the emulator get the parameters to correctly switch to the appropriate controller for that game?

Try this for applying game specific control settings in Dolphin. The post is a little older, but I believe it's still relevant.

Wow, works great! Thanks!

It is incredibly time consuming to do that in Dolphin, especially because I cannot select multiple games that share the same settings (for example gamecube gamepad or tilt controller); but it is better than nothing.

As I play games I save their settings in the config file and eventually all of them will be correctly set. Thanks!
