Dolphin won't recognize nunchucks and motion plus bug

[TetisTiger]

Hey, I'm new to Dolphin and to all of this, but I read much about it, which got me interested on getting actuall wii motes to play the thing.

I got from a friend 2 wii motes + 1 nunchuck (the nunchuck and one of the wii motes are from the red limited edition and come with the moteplus extension) which I tried connecting to my PC over a small USB BT dongle I had lying around.

Thing is, dolphin recognizes the wiimote and when playing Mario Galaxy, the prompt to connect the nunchucks doesn't show up (playing hybrid because I'm still building my sensor bar), but as soon as I get to move mario around, the analog stick does nothing.

Wiimotehook also detects nunchuck.

Also, if I connect my wiimote to the motionplus extension, wiimotehook bugs out and the controller "dies" as there shows no input/feedback and the LEDs lights go off and I need to remove the batteries and reconnect to my PC.

Anyone knows how to fix these?

The Hybrid Wii Remote mode is known to be extremely buggy. Does everything (other than the pointer) work fine if you're using Real Wii Remote instead?

1.You do not need Wiimotehook for Dolphin that is a CEMU only thing.
2. Hybrid Wiimote is known to have many issues and is basically a broken mess.
3. Best way to connect your Wiimote is using "Bluetooth passthrough" which requires you to install the ZADIG drivers on that adapter or less reliably "Real Wiimote" but you will need a SensorBar.
4. You can fake a sensor bar by using 2 candles.

As the sensorbar, I will build one by using emissor IR LEDs, which is pretty cheap, and a long USB cable.

But is this a conflict? As in the nunchucks will only be recognized by dolphin if I put it on the real wiimotes mode and not hybrid?

Because I'm currently using hybrid (mouse as a pointer) becasue I still don't have a sensorbar. Currently I will try testing it using christmas lights.

EDIT: Yeah, the nunchucks problems are because I'm using hybrid mode. Tested it with christmas lights and everything is fine!
