Hello.
Just last night I connected Wii remotes to my PC for the first time, using a cheap bluetooth adapter I had lying around for the last few years. The initial connection and integration into Dolphin was so incredibly smooth and painless that I was actually surprised, having been accustomed to struggle with the difficulties of emulation, peripherals, etc. I was able to pair, connect and start playing a game in a matter of minutes.
However, after that initial luck, I'm finding that getting the wiimotes to connect is more of a hit or miss proposition. Sometimes they are recognized right away, sometimes I have to fiddle with the Windows setting screen, etc.
Is the connection process for Wii remotes with bluetooth adapters known to be temperamental, or are some adapters much more robust than others and I should be looking to buy another one?
I'm using Windows 10 and a dolphin build from last week.
On a related note, I'm trying to use per-game settings to tell Dolphin for which games I want to use the real Wiimote, and for which ones I just want to emulate one with my xbox 360 controller. I've used per-games successfully to disable GCN gamepads or wii remotes (emulated) on Wii games that support both. However, if I selecte emulated wii remotes instead of real wii remotes in dolphin's general settings, and enable it on the per-game settings screen, the real remote will not work at all, but the emulated one will.
