EDIT: I think I cleared all problems. And I’m stupid :)

PROBLEM 1:
Wiimote detected only If I login via SSH:
Really stupid problem because this tutorial mention it:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Wiimotes-with-classic-controllers

sleep 1 was the solution

#!/bin/bash
sleep 1 # Wait until Bluetooth services are fully initialized
hcitool dev | grep hci >/dev/null
if test $? -eq 0 ; then
    wminput -d -c  /home/pi/mywminput 00:19:1D:92:90:38 &
    ...
fi

PROBLEM 2:
select and start buttons didn’t work.
Just delete /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg and follow GUI-Incstructions for button mapping. I was lazy and used mapping from this tutorial.

My mapping (just Classic Pro Controller):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<inputList>
        <inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="Nintendo Wiimote" deviceGUID="050000$
                <input name="a" type="button" id="0" value="1" />
                <input name="b" type="button" id="1" value="1" />
                <input name="down" type="axis" id="1" value="-1" />
                <input name="left" type="axis" id="0" value="-1" />
                <input name="leftanalogdown" type="axis" id="4" value="-1" />
                <input name="leftanalogleft" type="axis" id="3" value="-1" />
                <input name="leftanalogright" type="axis" id="3" value="1" />
                <input name="leftanalogup" type="axis" id="4" value="1" />
                <input name="leftbottom" type="button" id="6" value="1" />
                <input name="lefttop" type="button" id="4" value="1" />
                <input name="right" type="axis" id="0" value="1" />
                <input name="rightanalogdown" type="axis" id="5" value="-1" />
                <input name="rightanalogleft" type="axis" id="2" value="-1" />
                <input name="rightanalogright" type="axis" id="2" value="1" />
                <input name="rightanalogup" type="axis" id="5" value="1" />
                <input name="rightbottom" type="button" id="7" value="1" />
                <input name="righttop" type="button" id="5" value="1" />
                <input name="select" type="button" id="8" value="1" />
                <input name="start" type="button" id="9" value="1" />
                <input name="up" type="axis" id="1" value="1" />
                <input name="x" type="button" id="2" value="1" />
                <input name="y" type="button" id="3" value="1" />
        </inputConfig>
</inputList>

I have other values for Start and Select.
<input name=”select” type=”button” id=”8″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”start” type=”button” id=”9″ value=”1″ />
