Mayflash bar can't sync multiple wiimote Windows or linux

I don't know what to do or try anymore.

I have not played Dolphin for a while and now that my family is bigger and growing, I wanted them to play a few console video game and that would be the perfect one for them.

I know I was able to sync more than 1 wiimote with my computer 4-5 years ago. Now I can't seem to do it.

I can only sync one at a time. Both work but not at the sametime.

Hardware :
- Mayflash dolphin sensor bar (first gen I think) running on mode 4 (tried all of them)
- The remote are made by I-Con and were working before. Work with the wii fine.
- I5 4590k
- Asus Strix GTX 980
- Windows 10 and Linux Mint

So I tried theses :
  1. Flash the mayflash to last firmware (was already updated)
  2. Update from 5.0 to last build 13178
  3. Changed the driver from USB HID to winusb or lisbk using the device manager or zadig
  4. Tried a universal bluetooth I had around to try passthrough but couldn't get the game to start
  5. I installed Linux Mint with dolphin 5.0-13178

None of theses works. I can only sync one device at a time.
And after updating the driver with zadig, I could sync but not play any game anymore with just one wiimote. Even after deleeting the driver and reconnecting the usb.
That's one part of the reason I switched to Mint.

I am wondering if it's not the remote themself. If they use the same "signal" or protocol ? I used to have 4 and the other 2 are at my parents house with the Wii. Possible that only 2 of them work together ?

Or if the sensor bar is broken ?

Before I go purchasing other stuff, I wanted to know others had same issue or if I could do anything about it.

Thank you for your help

You're changing the driver of what, exactly? LibusbK / WinUSB is only required for Bluetooth Passthrough, which doesn't (and won't ever) work with the Dolphin Bar...

I did it in windows only. I found a post where someone windows driver were usb gaming hid contrôler and it didn't work until he replaced them. 

So I tried it too. 

So anyidea why wouldn't sync to my remotes. Problem with the remote or the sensor bar ?

Are all of your Wiimotes from Nintendo? Dolphin's default "Emulate a BT Adapter" mode and, by extension, the Dolphin Bar (since it only works in that mode) is guaranteed to work only with genuine Nintendo Wiimotes, 3rd party models may or may not work. With 3rd party Wiimotes you'll have better results with BT Passthrough mode (anything that works with a real Wii should work with BT Passthrough), but that mode doesn't work with the Dolphin Bar and can be very finicky depending of the particular BT Adapter you have...

Edit: just tried the last development version with my Dolphin Bar and two Nintendo-made Wiimotes and didn't experience any issues. Can't test with more controllers as I only have two Wiimotes...

I was able to buy 3 real wiimote and it works. 
What is weird is that the other two used to work. 
I had 4 of them and a pair is now at the cottage. I suppose that 2 specific of them worked and not all together or somethulike that. 


Thank you
