Facing problems using the wiimote

[Risev]

Hello everyone. So, I've finally started using Dolphin today. The first game I'm starting with is Skyward Sword, and I'm facing some problems unfortunately. For the controller, I'm using a real Wiimote with Wii Motion +, and I have no problem connecting the Wiimote to my PC. I'm also using the standard Wii sensor bar, which I'm currently connecting to my Wii U for power. Problem is, after launching the game, I can't see the cursor that you see when using motion controls (the hand I guess). I can use the buttons on the controller just fine, but there is no "cursor", meaning that the motion controls themselves are not working. I wondered if maybe my sensor bar is broken, but I tested it with my Wii U in the same position I'm using it with Dolphin, and it works absolutely fine with the Wii U.

Any ideas? I'm still new to all of this, so I apologize if I'm doing something stupid. I tried to look the problem up, but I've yet to find a solution.

Is the Wii U in the same state when you're testing using the Wii U as when you're testing using Dolphin? Wii Us can turn the sensor bar off if the currently running software doesn't use the sensor bar or no Wiimotes are connected. I think it always will be on if you run the Wii U in Wii mode.

Aha I had no idea. I'll test it it and see what happens.

Edit: Yep, that did it, thanks!
