I just got a new computer last week that can finally run Dolphin, and my Wiimote Plus and Nunchuck arrived in the post today. I have some questions as a new user that I hope some of you can help me with, though, as I've gotten some odd behaviour in the emulator.
Firstly, I started with the most recent version, 3.0-735. Things went just fine until I started trying to pair my new Wiimote with the emulator today. The built-in bluetooth on the laptop sees the Wiimote just fine, but when Dolphin would pair it and then refuse to let me configure, I did research and saw people suggesting bluetooth stack software. I tried three different ones, none of which wanted to work, had to get rid of. That's when 735 began crashing constantly. I can open it and close it, but if I do literally anything else, the emulator will crash.
I went back to 3.0-734, and that seems to be stable. It even lets me use my Wiimote and Nunchuck, but the Configure button is greyed out and I can't seem to use it at all. Oddly, the Wiimote and Nunchuck both work in two games I tested, New Super Mario Bros. and Resident Evil 4. Why can I not configure my Wiimote though?
On that subject, I am unable to point the Wiimote at the computer and move the 'hand' icon in the Wii Home Menu, nor in Skyward Sword or Punch Out which seem to require 'cursor' movement to move past the menus. I've never owned a Wii so I'm unsure; do I require the sensor bar? I've got one on its way in the post, will the cursor movement work once I add that? I assume I will -have- to configure the Wiimote in Dolphin for this, but again, it won't let me and I don't know why.
Anyone have any input? Why 735 is now constantly crashing? I've read that system RAM can cause instability issues like this, but this is a brand new system and I've run Memtest and come up with no errors. My Firefox browser keeps crashing once daily, but that could be entirely unrelated. Will adding that sensor bar just make 734 work as it should? Why is 734 letting me use my Wiimote and Nunchuck -without- configuring, and why can't I configure? I would appreciate any help at all.
Cheers.
