After trying to connect Wii Remote Plus (Yoshi edition) I decided to try bluetooth passthrough. The remote worked, although not flawlessly, on a Windows laptop with normal emulation. I tried it on Ubuntu 16.04 and it did not.

- Bluetooth dongle used were paired sucessfully with a smartphone and headset on Ubuntu
- I could discover the Wii Remote with the bluetooth dongle but I could not continue pairing progress which involves with selectin the remote in list of discovered devices and click "next" button. The "next" button is greyed out for the Wii Remote unlike the smartphone and headset which I managed to use with Bluetooth.

For more info on what was tried and tested please visit this thread.

For passthrough I copied
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="YOURVID", ATTRS{idProduct}=="YOURPID", TAG+="uaccess"
into a text file and replaced the YOURVID and YOURPID with values for each. Named the file dolphinrule.rules and placed it at /etc/udev/rules.d/, and reloaded rules/rebooted pc.
No effect as there is no Bluetooth passthrough option in "Controller settings".

Can someone please tell me why this is not working when I have, seemingly, done everything right?

What version of Dolphin are you using?

If it's 5.0, please update. It's almost two years old at this point and 6827 changes have been made since its release.

Passthrough was added in 5.0-910.

I was using stable version, so 5.0. I uninstalled it and installed the development branch, which then bluetooth passthrough appeared and functions as expected. Just that it does not sync to my wii remote.
I believe the issue is the bluetooth dongle not working with passthrough.
I have a Hama 49218. Do you know if it's compatible or not? I believe it's not.

EDIT:
I am confident the adapter is the issue and therefor not compatible for passthrough. I can not emulate nor use passthrough it. I did not try to emulate or use passthrough the dongle on a Windows pc (used itnegrated bluetooth for emulation at the time). I will however do that as soon as I can.
I hope you add this info to compatible adapters on wiki page so that more people know that it does not work.
I even tried different usb ports (2.0 front of chasis and 3.0 on motherboard). If there is further tests you want me to do for sake of eliminating this dongle as compatible for wiki page, let me know. I don't want others to buy the dongle thinking it will work for Dolphin.

EDIT2: I went through adapter compatibility list to find one that will work is said to work and I have decided to purchase this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-7260-HMWG-R-Wireless-AC-Network-adapter/dp/B00MV3N7UO
^ I am worried this may difer from one listed at wiki page someway and may not work? Any word on that?

Also thank you kindly for taking time to reply to me!
