Emulation Dolphin and scripts to switch configuration between real wiimotes and emulated controllers on Steam deck

Goal = change Dolphin configuration to :
- play solo directly on Steam deck or with other controllers
- play multiplayer/motion games with real wiimotes, directly paired in Dolphin
Scripts can be add to steam or play directly in emulationStation (copy to folder : roms\ports)

Example used below : idgame=RMCP01, configuration RMCP01.ini, profile=classic

A - Create 2 configurations for a game in Dolphin's folder named GameSettings :

1 : file idgame.emuwiimote to replace idgame.ini
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/viac5umblprdhql4orwfs/RMCP01.emuwiimote?+rlkey=6vm7z14bu3bzblco0splkgup9&dl=0

2 : file idgame.realwiimote to replace idgame.ini, example :

B - Use 2 shell scripts linux to replace Dolphin configuration in GameSettings :

1: apply configuration emulated wiimote with profile* :
list of idgame.emuwiimote replace idgame.ini

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/r1m4hl0hctlvkwfzyeq7k/real_wiimote.sh?rlkey=u05m0xi9s5gcvxk1ubkq013bk&dl=0
