Loading Save states disconnects all wiimotes

[sprockkets]

I can't find any documentation on this except for passthrough bluetooth, so here is my problem/question.

I'm using the typical emulated bt stack with 2 real wiimotes.
I've been playing Mario Party 8 for years. Typically, I play on whatever version of opensuse linux that was around along with a recent version of dolphin.
I typically use the save states to get a good roll in that game, and in times past, would simply just reload a state with F7 and try again. No issues.
Now, lately, in the past few months, if I reload a state, every time I lose the connection to the wiimotes and have to reconnect.

Is this normal behavior for emulated bluetooth? I have an Intel 3168 card on my motherboard.

This is intentional. It solves problem with things like the calibration of the Nunchuk stuck.

Anyway to stop this from happening? IF not when was this introduced?

You can't stop this from happening when Dolphin is set to "Real Wii Remote". But, you can set Dolphin to "Emulated Wii Remote" and then enable "Connect Wii Remotes for Emulated Controllers" and map your physical Wii Remote to the Emulated Wii Remote. This removes your ability to use a sensor bar, though.
