Emulated Wiimote - Nunchuck Swing Not Working on Mac

[WalkupAndAway]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to play Spectrobes: Origins on Dolphin 5.0 running on macOS, and everything is working great except for one thing: Nunchuck swings. I'm setting up an emulated wiimote using my keyboard and mouse, and when I press the buttons I've registered for nunchuck swings, the grey dot moves but never turns red. Shaking is working, and tilting is unconfirmed. With the game running, I've tried every combination of input I can think to get it to recognize a swing, but no luck.

Anyone know what's going on here? And if not, could we open this up as an official issue on Dolphin 5.0?

My configuration:

So, I did some digging and I found some interesting information:
Based on this post, it looks like the bug appeared after Dolphin 4.02: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-emulated-nunchuck-shake-problem
And based on this issue report, it looks like that had something to do with cleanup of the nunchuck emulation code around version 4.02: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/9611

I'm a developer by trade, and I would be interested in diving into the Nunchuck emulation code myself to see if I can apply a band-aid fix. Could any of the developers here point me in the right direction as to where in the Dolphin project I would find that code?

Thanks!

Before you start hacking away at code, does this happen in the latest 5.0 dev build?

Sadly, yes. The issue is still present in the dev build from about a week ago, Dolphin 5.0-3449, and I don't see any changes that have been made since then that would impact this.
