Heya guys,

I've got the following problem: I have two standard (original) wiimotes and I've never had any issues with them.
Now I'm using Windows 8 and using one wiimote also wasn't an issue. However, I've just tried to connect both wiimotes (at the same time) and they both registered as wiimote 1 (both had their blue LED in the first place lit).
Then I just tried renaming them in Windows' devices panel and ... I dunno. They weren't really renamed, at least the changed name didn't show. However, since then, I cannot pair the wiimotes at all anymore -_-
I really don't know if that has anything to do with the naming (unfortunately I renamed both of them), but now there seems to be no way to even change the names back because they just won't pair anymore. Is there any place in windows where I can kind of delete the remains of those installed wiimotes so I can pair them like before?
Then I still might have that issue with using two wiimotes at the same time, but for now, this problem is top priority :/

Thanks!

(using latest Dolphin build, 64x on Win 8.1 (+ Update1) 64x)

EDIT: Some news, kinda: I found this (rather hidden - at least when you're not using that whole metro thing) place where you can see bluetooth devices (not the normal "devices" place in Desktop Windows - you can get there from there, though, from the context menu of the bluetooth system tray icon (NOT by just right-clicking the bluetooth stack in devices... confusing!)). When I press the wiimote buttons (so that it's ready for pairing) it is actually shown there (with the standard name, RVL-CNT-01, too). Then I can press "Pair" (or whatever it's called in English), but when I do Windows asks me for a code or something. Is there some standard code that works for the wiimotes?

Wuaaaaaa, gosh, I've got it. Sorry for asking so quickly, at that time I just didn't know what else I could do.
You can delete this thread or leave it for whoever else might be so stupid as to rename their wiimotes (though I seem to remember this wasn't any issue in Win7...?) ^^
So, yeah, the solution was to pair them up in Windows and when asked for a code, just not type in anything, just press continue.
Also, two wiimotes having the same LED lit is obviously no problem because at the start of a game, one of them switches to wiimote 2. -_-

EDIT: Weeeell, there still is a problem: Now everytime I restart Windows I need to use that Bluetooth place under Windows Start to pair the wiimotes. Dolphin alone won't do -_-
But I guess that's just an annoyance, I can live with that (if however you know a place where to delete the remains of the wiimote installations so that everything would be back to normal, that would be great Wink )
