I recently bought an Adamote to see if it's as good as promised. For those who don't know what an Adamote is, look here: https://www.akar.cc/
In theory it sounds good: It serves as both a sensor bar and a way to connect your Wiimotes without having to go through all the hassle with bluetooth. In practice however, things aren't all that great.
It does indeed connect your Wiimotes and serve as a sensor bar, but I've only gotten this to work with the included Akar emulator (which is based on the Dolphin emulator). On an actual Dolphin emulator I can't get it to recognize the Wiimotes. The Akar emulator is unfortunately garbage: You don't get to choose ANY emulation settings, every game is played at 1x IR in windowed mode with what I assume is DirectX 9, HLE sound and EFB to texture. In addition to this the macro software crashes 24/7, the USB cord is far too short and the support for the product is very lackluster. It's a shame, because it actually has potential. It can even use my 3rd party cheap Chinese Wiimote Plus controller, something I can't do through bluetooth with the Dolphin emulator.
If there was some way to recognize the Wiimotes connected through the Adamote in Dolphin then I would recommend this product, but as of now I can't justify it. Oh well, you can ask me any other questions you might have about the Adamote in here as well.
