Bluetooth Passthrough on a second Bluetooth device

Hello!

Long time lurker and documentation has been well past good enough to learn just about anything I've needed but now I have a question and thus a reason to create an account and post.

I recently stumbled upon Bluetooth Passthrough, a feature that lets Dolphin take control of the Bluetooth device completely instead of relying on emulation through the OS Bluetooth stack. This is phenomenal and I need it. I usually don't emulate games that need the Wii remote much because it hasn't been accurate enough. This changes things for me.

However, I use an Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows with my PC to connect a Xbox One controller. I'm pretty sure the controller uses another protocol than Bluetooth but I'm afraid it will stop working if I plug Bluetooth USB adapter into my computer and use Zadig. Maybe the adapter has Bluetooth as well? I'm not sure.

On another computer I have a Bluetooth USB-adapter that I use for wireless headset and a mouse. I understand that I can't use it as a Bluetooth Passthrough device and for my headset at the same time:

Quote:WARNING: While a libusb driver is installed, other programs/devices will not be able to use your Bluetooth device. This can be easily reverted in Windows Device Manager and instructions are provided below.

But can I use a second USB device and use that one for the passthrough to Dolphin? Has anybody done this?

It won't stop working unless you run Zadig on the Xbox Wireless Adapter (which I don't believe there's ever any reason to do).

If you have two Bluetooth adapters, you can use one for Dolphin's Bluetooth passthrough and one for using Bluetooth devices the normal way. Just make sure to only run Zadig on one of them.
