Need Help with Dolphin Bar

06-09-2015, 09:01 AM #1

Hello, I'm using the latest developmental release of Dolphin( At the time of writing this is 4.0-6686) and I cannot get Dolphin to recognize the dolphinbar. The dolphinbar is running firmware version 4, and Is set to use mode 4 while in dolphin. The wii remote seems to connect(and even works in other modes, such as the mouse and keyboard emulation mode of the dolphinbar) however dolphin does not recognize it as a controller. I have it set to "real wiimote" in the settings. If anyone could offer any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the exact same issue as you using the same dev build and 4.0.2 stable build. I hope there is a fix, been looking forward to using this on skyward sword for a while now.

nomadskid: What happens when you press refresh in the controllers window?

Either of you using Mac OS X?

As far as I know Dolphinbar hasn't worked with OS X for a long time.

I regret having to ask this, but I have searched high and low for any information and come up empty-handed...is there any way to get the mouse pointer that is controlled by Wiimote via the dolphin bar to recognize a second monitor? Has anyone gotten it working? I normally play on my TV, which is my second screen, and that is where I have the dolphinbar attached to, but the cursor always stops right at the end of my computer monitor, and no matter how much I try, it just will not break through that "barrier" of the primary monitor. My mouse will, of course, but when the cursor is controlled via Wiimote, it won't. If it did, I could play Wii games without having to swap primary monitors, which would be nice. Not necessary, but nice. Thanks in advance! You guys are awesome!

FYI: I'm running the latest firmware version (V4), but haven't installed the driver CD because my bar didn't come with one, I think on accident. Can't find the driver online, either, but I'm not sure if the firmware and the drivers are different things in the case of this device. Though I am running a very recent build of dolphin, I'm not even getting to that point yet, because I can't get the wiimote to focus its button-clicks in the Dolphin software when it's running on the second monitor, so it clicks the program out of focus when I try to use it. This is strictly an OS issue - up to date Win7x64, by the way.

The bar only expects you to be on one screen, if you move past that it can't see you and wouldn't matter anyway.

Okay, I will just create a hotkey to swap the primary and auxiliary screens - thanks for the info!
