cursor not recognized on dolphin

03-31-2018, 11:50 AM #1

I have an official Nintendo Wii remote and a mayflash dolphin bar sensor bar. The sensor bar is on plugged in and has mode 4 on, and I'm using the emulated wii real wii remote setting in the controller section and the controller works but the cursor does not work. I have tired at multiple distances, and with multiple remotes but it does not show up in any games. Any help would be appreciated Smile

0. *Does the game actually use a cursor?* (what game are you trying) Does it work in the Wiimenu?
1. Does the Wiimote work on a real Wii?
2. Did you connect the Wiimote to the Dolphinbar? (The latest firmware doesn't turn on the IR leds if it doesn't see at least 1 Wiimote connected)
3. If you make a picture with a phone/digital camera while playing a game and having a controller connected to the Dolphinbar, do you see the IR-Leds glowing?

Sorry, it looks like the IR lights on your Dolphinbar broke, which is a common problem with it. Take a close look at it with your camera. You should see 5 IR lights left and right each. On the photo i can only see 3 on the left side.

Theoretically it's possible to fix it by soldering new IR lights to it, but i don't have a clue which lights you'd need to get as replacement. After my Dolphinbar broke, i switched to a pure sensor bar(only IR source) and a bluetooth adapter in passthrough mode, because i don't know the 1st thing about soldering and i don't want to buy a new Dolphin bar only to have to break eventually as well.
