animal crossing city folk wii emulator mac

This is my first time trying out this emulator. I'm not sure if this is a game-specific problem or if I'm just clueless when it comes to configuring an emulated wiimote. Since I need to type in my name for the game (later I'll need to use this same interface often for writing letters), and the d-pad doesn't seem to do anything for this screen, I'm kind of stuck.

When they keys are combined I can move the cursor in a small circle in the middle of the screen. The only buttons that seem to move are the ones I designated for 'tilt' and those only move my cursor to roughly four places on the screen. I tried the default settings and nothing worked, so I tried changing them around. My problem is that I can't move the cursor around the screen.

The game loads in just fine, everything looks perfect. I'm trying to play the Japanese version of Animal Crossing: City Folk, using Dolphin 3.0 for Mac. I feel like I've been to the end of the internet and back trying to fix this on my own, but sadly I'm still stuck.
