Cannot get Dolphin to register 2 Wii Classic Controllers Models RVL-CNT-01

[soundwave]

Hi,

I need some help here. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with 32 GB RAM and Dolphin 3.50 GA. Windows 7 x64 is up to date. Desktop using a usb bluetooth dongle. I was able to add the 2 Wii Classic Controllers by pressing the red button and they are both seen by Windows 7 and each controllers has a blue light on 1 and 2 respectively. Both are registered in Windows as RVL-CNT-01 and both have different hardware id's.

Then I go and start Dolphin. I go into the menu and pair up both controllers and they both are seen under Wiimote. Wiimote 1 and Wiimote 2 are setup as Real Wiimote. Real Wiimotes show 2 connected after Pair Up is pressed.

So far so good...but then...

I load up New Super Mario Brothers or Super Mario Galaxy (those two I'm testing). As soon as I load either of these games up and I go pause and then go to Tools and do Connect Wiimote 1 and Connect Wiimote 2, the 2nd controller light goes out and is not seen by either of the games.

After that, if I go back into Wiimote (after turning off the games), if I try and pair up the 2nd controller, it is never seen by Dolphin. I have to go back into the bluetooth properties in Windows, delete it, then re-add to get it seen again.

If I use the Motorola Bluetooth drivers 8.10 or 9.10, The same thing happens in Dolphin. I go through the whole bluetooth registration process, but then when I start up any of the games and I try and connect the 2nd controller, it shuts off.

I'm at a real loss here. I've even tried a different usb bluetooth adapter and it seems to be no help at all.

Help would very much be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bump, any ideas at all anyone? Still unsuccessful. I tried on another computer, build in USB in the laptop, running Windows 8 - same problem. When starting games, only one Wiimote works. Even though both are synced and working before starting a game.

Have you tried Toshiba BT Stack yet ?
Note that the Bluetooth Dongle's quality is also important . If you have "class 1" certified BT dongle , you can connect up to 4 wiimotes . The other dongle only connect 1 or 2 wiimotes (2 wiimotes will show up but 1 might disconnect when you play Dolphin)

Pretty much this. The Wiimotes communicate with lot of data to bluetooth and non-Class 1 dongles aren't as great at distance and data transfer as Class 1 or PCI-Express Bluetooth.

The only solution is to play with 1-2 wiimote (depending on how badass is your Class 2 Bt) or buy new Class 1 bluetooth dongle (cheaper) or PCI-E (Badassery ).
