CANT CONNECT TWO WIIMOTES HELP!!!!

[superbobrocks]

Hello. New guy here. I have been wondering if anyone has figured out how to use two wiimotes for the emulator? I have done altf6, paused game play and clicked on real wii remote in tools. one controller only vibrates when I pair and refresh. Both controllers have been synced to my dolphin bar in mode 4. I read in this forum some people have had the same problem but when someone else asks what controllers, system, blah blah blah, there is no response at those threads. I'm running 3.0, all games work with one controller. All my controllers are Wii Motion plus and connect, but individually. Do I need to have a non wii motion plus to do two controllers? I don't want to tell myself that I wasted money on the dolphin bar just for one controller. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!

We don't support 3.0 here, update to the newest version and see if it helps. Looking at your specs I assume you are running a 32-bit OS so you'll need to upgrade to 64-bit (although honestly there are still way newer builds that will run on your computer).

I've tried updating but it messes with all the games. They wouldn't be shown in the directory and when I did  get one to work after loading it from my files, the wiimote would not work, nor did any keyboard functions. I still would like to know why after pressing altf6 it says controller 2 is connected and nothing works. The remote is synced to the dolphin bar but nothing works. The dolphin says it can play up to four players but won't play 2. There is no tutorial on youtube or anywhere else that shows or tells  how to play with two. Why would the configuration in 3.0 version show that up to 4 remotes can be used but again nothing. Can someone show me how it is done? Why is the option there but not capability? Yes or no can it be done?

Update to the latest dev-version, anything older than 5.0-stable is not supported on this forum.

As a tip, once you have updated to the latest dev-version, try making an empty portable.txt in the same folder as dolphin.exe, this will reset dolphin back to default settings, since 3.0 a lot has changed in the configuration files, so that might be why stuff is messed up.

3.0 didn't support the global user directory, so settings won't have carried across automatically.

AGAIN, 3.0 is thee only stable version I can run without anything f'ing up. I can not afford a new computer at this time. So my question is still, why is the capability of running 4 controllers is in the 3.0 configuration box and my controllers can sync to the dolphin bar but not work in gameplay? I understand 3.0 is not supported in this group, but at one time it was and everyone was playing two players with that version. So help me get to play two players with this version please.

If you cannot run a supported version of Dolphin, you will not receive support on the forums.
