Hey guys.
I purchased a Kinivo BTD-400, off the link suggested on the Wiki page on Bluetooth Passthrough.
https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Passthrough#Adapter_test_results
Here are the exact steps I took so far:
From here, it gets funky. It doesn't work, no matter how many times I tell it to sync in Dolphin and press the official Nintendo (non motion plus) Wiimote's red button simultaneously. Except one time it did. It appeared to work. Didn't have a sensor bar as of yet, so I grabbed some candles. In the time it took me to do this, my Wiimote lost connection and refused to connect again.
So I tried various other steps like rebooting Dolphin and rebooting the computer and running Dolphin as admin, and after many attempts I got it to connect again, after trying the sync process in one go many times. Sensor worked fine. Vibration worked fine. Buttons worked fine. But a minute later it dropped again and refused to reconnect.
Any ideas as to what is going on here?
Thank you in advance.
Speccy system report: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/WjFU3A3f77mkSH8KajSCeSw
Intel i5 2500k overclocked to 4.5GHz, not reflected in report.
EDIT 1: I nearly forgot - I swapped the USB position around a few times in the process of troubleshooting. It was on a USB 3.0 port on the back of my machinek, but I figured the signal was getting lost maybe so I swapped it to a USB 2.0 on my monitor, that runs through an extension cable. No dice either way.
EDIT 2: I accidentally typed LibUSB when I meant WinUSB.

Here are the exact steps I took so far:
- I installed the official driver off the CD that came bundled.
- I installed the WinUSB driver through Zandig, as directed on the wiki.
- I sat there scratching my head as to why it wasn't working or where the options were, and uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers a few times.
- I realized that I was on 5.0, not a dev build with Bluetooth Passthrough support.
- I installed the latest devbuild, dolphin-master-5.0-1905-x64
- Couldn't figure out why it wouldn't recognize the adapter, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers a few times, rebooting each time.
- Realized that I had to manually configure the VID and PID in dolphin.ini, and I used a hex to decimal converter to get the right values.
- I booted up a Wii game, Metroid Prime Trilogy.
