I want to get a Dolphin Bar, but...

Nah, don't worry. Do you already have a sensor bar? If yes, you can still use DolphinBar to handle the communication if the LEDs burn, just point your wiimote to another sensor bar while using it and you should be good to go. It's not a too good solution but is all I can recommend if you can't solder =/

Or, you could try to get a compatible BT adapter and Toshiba BT Stack, it'll allow using -TR wiimotes but it's a little more complex to setup. Also, you would need a USB or battery-powered sensor bar anyway...
