So I guess i'm picking up one of these then. do you have to get up from the couch to enable mode 3? is it easy to play GC games in mode 3? should i get a USB to GC adapter? are wireless GC controllers any good or crap?

Oh thanks for that heads up Delroth it was my ad blocker disabling it for the page did the trick

If you check the amazon listing you will see that it comes with a Gamecube adapter as well. It plugs into the Wiimote and your GC controller plugs into it.

WHAT!? I too have ABP.

EDIT: i don't see the amazon link?

also maybe the wii classic controller would be enough?

Now that the major kinks have been worked it's definitely a good purchase at that price. I just ordered one myself, 23$ including international shipping. This and a couple of GC to USB adapters are basically mandatory accessories to Dolphin in my opinion.

Hi, where did you buy that have international shipping?
Sorry for my poor English as it's not my native language.

Once it's synced you can press the home key on the wiimote plus one of the direction pad keys to select different modes remotely.

*sigh*
Nowadays people can't read anymore... Quoting what is written in the beggining of the Recommended Accessories guide, just to make sure:

I just picked one of these up through Amazon and it's awesome. I have 4 of the plus remotes that I've been trying to get working for about a year. I tried numerous Bluetooth dongles and could never get them all working at the same time. With the Dolphin Bar, I have all 4 remotes working together for the first time. I also like how you don't have to open up anything like the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack software to connect the remotes to Windows before using them. This is exactly what I needed.

The only issue I can't resolve is this: When I initially connect the remotes and open up Dolphin, I have to go into the Wiimote menu, hit Refresh, then Okay for the remotes to work. Alt-F5 doesn't accomplish this. I'm using XBMC as my frontend and I'd prefer to not have to turn on my keyboard and hit Alt-Enter to access the Wiimote menu. Are there any other keyboard shortcuts related to this I'm not aware of?

That was it. Thanks.

Is that a new option that was added recently (since 4.0)? I don't remember seeing it before and this is a fairly recent problem, but maybe my memory is just bad.

As far as I know, current stable have this option too. It was added near the end of 3.5 era, I think...
