Dolphinbar working with Linux?

[raidermax]

I know the dolphinbar works and pairs with my wiimote as it works on Windows 7. When I reboot into Linux and try to follow the same procedure that I follow on Windows, the wiimote does not pair with the dolphinbar (well it shows that it is paired but the remote does not vibrate to confirm it is paired like it does on Windows). I tried adding a udev rule for the wiimote and running dolphin-emu as root but it still does not pair. Supposedly, dolphinbar support in dolpin-emu for linux has been added already and I am even using the git version of dolphin-emu that I compiled yesterday.

Why is it not pairing? What more info can I give you guys to help me out?

DolphinBar support in Linux hasn't ever been merged.

Oh. See I was under the impression that it was because someone linked me this once https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/2675#issuecomment-117359330

I have no clue what this is/what it means or how GitHub works but so what exactly is this? Did they put the commits in but it did not get merged? If so, is there a way I could add those commits to build dolphin-emu with?

Someone has done the work, but it was incomplete so it wasn't ever merged.

Bump! I stupidly bought a dolphinbar because I assumed it would work under linux. Luckily some one is running a ppa out there with the dolphinbar linux patch merged in, but its not really up to date anymore. With the arrival of 5.0 I would really love to be on the latest master while still being able to use my wii controller. Who can I bribe to make this happen!

I'm currently running Dolphin 5.0-2925 on Arch Linux installed from the AUR package dolphin-emu-git. The dolphinbar is now working with the appropriate udev rules. Insert the following into /etc/udev/rules.d/51-nintendo.rules

UBSYSTEM=="usb",ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e",ATTRS{idProduct}=="0306",MODE="0666"

From the terminal run:

$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

Unplug the dolphinbar and then plug it back in. Do this two or three times for good measure, to ensure the new setting worked (must be in mode 4). Load dolphin and play. I suggest updating the dolphinbar firmware to the latest using a Windows VM. After I did this I could connect my balance board.

Added bonus of experimental Vulkan support. It has locked my GUI beyond recovery, randomly, many times.
