Dolphin wont detect my Bluetooth dongle!

So here's the deal. I have two Bluetooth dongles connected to my computer right now, one is dedicated to XInput Wrapper SCP (PS3 Controllers) and the other one is not. The problem is Dolphin won't detect the any of the Bluetooth dongles I have plugged into my computer and because of this I can't connect my Wii-mote to dolphin.

Things I've tried (restarting dolphin each time):
  • unplugging the XInput dongle while having the other one still in (no change)
  • Restarting with just the one Bluetooth dongle connected (no change)
  • Restarting with both dongle plugged in
I also noticed that I don't have a Bluetooth icon in my tray like most people and because of that I tried installing Bluetooth drivers on my computer. But here's the funny part, even the drivers won't detect the Bluetooth dongles I have connected and wont install because of it. And for anyone that's wondering, the XInput Wrapper works flawlessly with my PS3 remotes (wirelessly and wired).

If anyone has any clue or advice on this situation please feel free to help a brother out! Sad

If your computer detects the wiimote you should find it here http://i.imgur.com/Sj43B8z.png

If yours is a TR the Toshiba stack will help.

Even thought the Bluetooth dongles are connected and showing on my "Devices and Printers", I have no Bluetooth options (tray icon, pairing, toggling Bluetooth on and off) as if I don't have any Bluetooth drivers installed. So I cant even see any discoverable Bluetooth devices. Sad

I run the exact same setup. You need to be careful with this. The SCP Drivers tend to override any bluetooth dongle you insert after them. You need to set one of the bluetooth dongles up manually.

I described the process here: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller?pid=300105#pid300105

Also, make sure you are running the SCP Driver not the "Xinput Wrapper". The SCP Driver is more stable and all around better.

I tried updating the drivers for one of the dongles but it says it's already up to date.

Edit: Whooops nvm I didnt read the full instructions
Edit2: Thank you so much MaJor. This fixed my problem exactly!

For anyone else having this same problem, this is what I did:
1. Plug in 1 dongle
2. Install SCP drivers for PS3 remote (http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller)
3. Once you finish installing the SCP Drivers, Plug in second dongle
4. Let windows install drivers (It'll install the SCP drivers which is what we don't want)
5. Device Manager > Find the dongle (not ps3 one) > Right-Click "Update Driver Software" > "Browse my computer for drivers" > "Let me pick from a list of device drivers..." > "Generic Bluetooth Radio" (mines happens to me named that, yours may be different)
