I guess this is what you meant

Okay..I haven't replied in here as I was still able to get one of my other Wiimotes working, but now that's stopped working too, with the exact same fucking symptoms here. Does anyone know here how to wipe the Bluetooth drivers the Wii remote makes entirely from a PC? I assume that there's a driver error or something that it keeps looking back at in the registry, and that error prevents Dolphin for accepting any input at all. I'm assuming, as I've now double checked here, that a "failed" installation causes this, such as the Wiimote synching with the driver update, only for the period it takes to synch on the Wiimote to stop flashing the blue lights, causing some type of error with the drivers and thus, Dolphin.

I can't play any game that mandates the Wiimote now, and this is pissing me off.

EDIT: If it is of any assurance to you guys, it is NOT a Wiimotionplus model. It was made before then, and considering it worked before..

I know my wiimote works and it isn't driver issues. I can run glove pie for hours and it works great. But with dolphin it randomly disconnects but it is still connected to the computer.

At least you get it to work, still. Mine seem to do fuck all now in the emulator. They're great paperweights with lights on them, as far as the emulator cares.

EDIT: Quick question here. I've reinstalled the latest SVN to Dolphin, and I noticed something under the file WiimoteNew, which is something I don't believe I created...

[Wiimote1]
Source = 2
Device = XInput/0/Gamepad

Could this be routing the Wiimote controls to the controller it's recognizing as the input? I don't even have it plugged in, let alone designed to emulate the Wii Remote..

EDIT 2: Nope, nevermind. Still didn't fix it at all.

A bit of a bump here, but an idea that crossed my mind would be the bluetooth dongle itself. While it works, I did notice an interesting situation when trying Toshiba Stack and Blue Solelei in that neither recognized the dongle in any capacity, and thus when the Wiimote connected to it that this was never, ever picked up by the two. Could the issue all along be a wonky dongle that sorta worked but simply doesn't work in a way that can handle frequency with Dolphin?

The dongle is a Medialink USB Bluetooth Adapter - Version 4.0 (Newest Bluetooth Version Available) Class 2 Smart Ready Adapter w/ Low Energy Technology - Windows 7 32/64 Compatible (description taken from Amazon) with a Bluetooth stack from WIDCOMM. If it is in fact the dongle, can someone tell me of a good one I can get off of Amazon? I don't want to shell out money and realize my problem is not fixed, but only if it seems it could be the case with another user, assuming he/she is more knowledgeable than I, knows if it could be the issue here.

I thank you for listing yours, but there's no North American counterpart you know of? My Amazon Gift Card is not working for it. :<

Figure I'd bump this as I recently bought an ASUS BT adaptor and, surprise surprise, the exact same issue is arising. It has to be an emulator issue. Anyone have any idea at all at what it is? The dongle and Dolphin do in fact recognize the controller, but when it comes to actually playing any game, it believes there's no Wiimote plugged in at all. I have it on the Real Wiimote setting and everything.

i had this problem.i managed to fix it but you will need the wii console.. what i did

remove the wii mote from bluetooth devices. turn on wii console. open front panel of console press red button. open battery compartment of wii mote and pres red button. the mote will reset and work on the console. now turn of console so the LED is red. go back to your PC and reconnect the wiimote.open dolphin go back to wimote settings and click refresh now run a game and it should work.
