Having an issue with Wiimote connection.

Let me explain what's the issue.

I have two wiimotes, one with MotionPlus inside/one with nothing, so a plain one.
and as the MotionPlus one is starting to break down, I wanted to switch to the plain one.

And here's the issue on the title - it doesn't connect.

I've tried rebooting my PC, restarting Dolphin, reinstalling Dolphin, restarting my Bluetooth, I've made sure that I did turn off the remote before trying to switch to the other, plain one, nothing worked.

What's more odd is that it connects to my actual Wii with no problems and it appears on the bluetooth device search list on my PC with no problem, so it's just Dolphin not connecting to this wiimote.

It's only this plain one, and the wiimote with motionplus connects with no issue - it's just the sensors on it breaking down, so that's the reason why I want to replace it. No success though.

Please tell me if any more info is needed.

Are you using Official Nintendo Wiimotes, or third party Wiimotes? Have you tried Bluetooth Passthrough: https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/wii-remote-plus-rvl-cnt-01-tr-connection-guide/

Official wiimote. Bluetooth Passthrough seemed like it's for a MotionPlus wiimote?

It's for all Wiimotes. More info here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Passthrough

Thanks for the additional info, as it was late last night, tried it out today.

Installing libusbK with Zadig was successful, restarted and using passthrough mode in dolphin - every game boots up correctly. However, my wiimote is still not detected, along with my original working wiimote motionplus also not detected.

Did I do something wrong in the steps? and how can I fix this issue now?

Additional News:

Actually got it to work for once, and my wiimote with motionplus inside connected, was able to play for 2 hours without problems - but while I was testing out Wii Sports Resort, a random "Warning" window from dolphin, with no message popped up, and then it crashed.


After this, I haven't gotten it to work again, and it doesn't seem like nothing will change even though I've reinstalled this for 5 times now, and rebooted my pc according to that.

Any solutions & suggestions?

[Update]
...ok, reinstalled the bluetooth passthrough method for like 20 times now. No success.
Nothing works, and seems like no one knows the answer either.
Bluetooth Passthrough had only partial success until dolphin sent out a random warning message and crashed and then it never worked again, along with original emulated adapter having incorrect inputs from wiimotes & not connecting now.
