Long time Emulation fan, first time posting.
While I have solved every issue myself with just a little bit of research over the decades, this one just has me stumped.
I have been trying to pair a few newly acquired Wiimotes to every bluetooth device I have and none of them will find them, I'm starting to wonder if its just horrendous bad luck or is there perhaps a regional difference.
first Wiimote is from Ebay, cheaper chinese thing, remote and nunchuck was under $20 with shipping ($20Aus) . The Second wiimote is an official piece of hardware acquire from a local store.
Neither of these wiimotes will pair with any device I have in the house. This includes
2 PC's, both using generic CR8510 A10 Bluetooth 4.0 adapter
Phones, 2 LG G3's (one kitkat one lollipop), Samsung S2, HTC Sensation, HTC Trophy 7, Samsung galaxy core prime.
Cheap knockoff (though surprisingly good) pendo android tablet running 4.4.2 kitkat
not even my new 60 inch samsung 4k Smart TV will find a bluetooth device when trying to pair my wiimotes.
On my pc i've tried various stacks, microsofts first (hate adding any software if i can help it), CSR's harmony stack and Toshiba's. Have tried various apps for the phones and tablet to pair bluetooth and wii controllers. tried 2 different versions of wiipair.. nothing.
every device listed has no trouble pairing my phones or my wireless headsets.
At this point I am considering buying the Dolphin Bar, but I am incredibly fearful that it will produce the same result.
I have poured over these forums trying various things, I see no clear answer other than, by some HUGE stroke of bad luck, every single device I have does not have the abilities needed to pair these things. I hope someone has something I can run to test or some new insight I may have missed.
Thankyou for your time.
