My Wiimote autopair solution

[dyter]

After a longtime, my mouse and keyboard freeze I need to reboot, or debug it when I plug an USB mouse, perhaps a bluetooth HID hang ?
But sometime is work many hours ...

this is great. no more of those rotten Device device unsuccessfully installed, this eliminates that, and i like that. thank youu

i fixed the pairup button within dolphin, by fixing wiiuse, additionally now u can pair up wiimotes as often as u want within dolphin, without closing dolphin everytime the re-pair doesnt work.
meaning if ur batteries run out of power u dont need to stop the game, just change the batteries, pause the game, click on refresh wiimotes, click on pair up or use the auto wiimote connecter form this thread, and click on refresh wiimotes again et voila. now disconnect wiimote1 and reconnect1 by presing alt +f5.
the pair up button should work more consistent now, not perfect, but way better than before.
Feedback highly appreciated. thx

Before I use this: http://home.exetel.com.au/amurgshere/wiimouse.phtml
but your tool is better for that

I waiting for the iconify version !

Can you add a Dolphin auto start option when wiimote is connected !?

Good to see you found it useful.
Regarding the auto start, I don't want to add it because I use the wiimote for other stuff besides dolphin (mainly using it as a remote for WMC). So I don't want it to start dolphin every time I pair a wiimote with the pc.

Regarding the app you mentioned, I didn't know it. It seems to be way more complete than mine. I'll take a look at it.

Can you make an auto start app option in your conifg.ini something like [AutoStart] ? It would be a + for your Daemon !

I want to use Wiimouse with it ! Because Wiimouse tool don't affect Dolphin or other apps, and when the PC start, You don't need any mouse !

HI love the application, a few points.

First i have noticed that the program doesn't work for me after my pc wakes up after sleep.

Second i think it would be useful to have a sound when the program first detects the wiimote, only a small noise just for a bit of feedback. I know windows dings when its connected but if u planning on hiding the window it would be good to have feedback of the detection. Just personal preference tho.

Brilliant start!

One of the issues with dolphin's pairup is that you have to pause a game to pair or repair a 'mote, the other one is that when it doesn't work, I have no clue as to why it doesn't. Now that you can pair them anytime this daemon is a way better solution for the mediacenter pc. Getting up from a couch, pause the game etc. to pair the 'motes is not very "consoley". My GF stops playing with me every time I do that. Maybe having a similar loop inside dolphin on a separate thread would be awesome, that way it wouldn't require all that amount of work to pair and simply be similar to a real wii.

BTW, on the wake from sleep I don't know why it doesn't work. I'll try to look at it, but it's weird since every single loop of the daemon I check to see what bt radios are plugged and use one of them. So the problem would have to be elsewhere.

I have some modifications in store to make the daemon more responsive and use even less cpu (not that it uses all that much).

Anyways, given that I have class in about 15 min. I'll make the silent version tonight.

Regards.

It would be great if you could tell me the error message, maybe a screenshot?

Great! Sometimes fail to load drivers, and all hangs...(dolphin, wiimote...etc) and you can´t kill process. Like they enter on an infinite loop...
I have to remove the Bt hardware...and reset all, but, when connect, works like hell!!!

Are you speaking about dolphin or my app?
