Bluetooth dongles for -TR remotes - how to find one that will work? (UK)

[Haiyukin]

So I thought it would be a bit simpler to find and buy a cheap Bluetooth adapter that would work, and many people having posted about this doesn't seem to have helped - I've searched about a lot but the search function on these forums isn't great. The problem is that a lot of the ones that people are saying worked (like Inland or Rocketfish) aren't cheaply available in the UK. How do we know a bluetooth dongle is compatible with the Toshiba stack?

I found this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EQ8VEPW/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i4?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=063M8RJSRRMR9K377BTG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=455344027&pf_rd_i=468294 which is listed on the Wiibrew list of working devies as being compatible with the Toshiba stack, and so should work (and I'll get that if I can't find a micro one) but is there a micro one anywhere that we know is compatible? Or do we just go for lucky dip when getting one?#

Or - is the best plan to get a good generic bluetooth adapter and follow the instructions here https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-rvl-cnt-01-tr?pid=189694&mode=threaded#pid189694) to force the Toshiba stack on it?

Hama Bluetooth adapters work pretty fine. I've been using this one for example

There is one on the Recommended Accessories page. Also, you can now use the DolphinBar (http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Sensor-DolphinBar-Pc/dp/B00HZWEB74/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_mfw?&linkCode=wey&tag=dolphin-emu-20) for this, which is a sensor bar + bluetooth with (now anyway) full support for -TR wiimotes. You'll need to keep to recent dev builds for it though, since support for it was only recently fixed.

Yeah - as stupid as it is, I can't really find that for sale in the UK. This http://www.fishpond.co.uk/Electronics/Azio-BTD-V201-USB-Micro-Bluetooth-Adapter-Class-1-V21-EDR/0230494822080?utm_source=googleps&utm_medium=ps&utm_campaign=UK is the only thing I could find and that's imported, which will take ages to deliver.

I think the one you listed is not going to work. It's really, really hard to tell though - the only way I found is through the list here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_Working_Bluetooth_Devices
