Newbie, Wii Remote not functioning

02-13-2012, 01:12 PM #1

Hello. I've wasted all day trying to solve this problem.
I'm so happy to hear that it's possible to play Wii on the PC. The real Wii in my household is nearly always being hogged.

I've bought a ASUS BT211 Bluetooth dongle and using an original Wii Remote.
I'm using Win 7 64, and everything went everything like in this page;
http://www.dolphin-emu.org/connect-wiimote.html

except that I'm using the latest version of Dolphin. I'm trying to play Zelda Twilight Princess (never completed this game yet), everything looked like it was going well, but my Wii Controller does not function at all. I can't even get passed the Health Warning message unless I wait.

My Wii Remote does vibrate after Pairing it in Dolphin, but that is all. My life is trolling me :S
Anyone know what's up?

No edit button? Just noticed I've made grammer mistakes.

Giving more info won't hurt either:
When I sync my Wii Controller and click the Refresh button in Wiimote, my Wii Remote will vibrate once and I'll get a solid blue light afterwards.
My computer does show Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 as my device, but it will disappear off my computer when I exit the Dolphin program and my Wii Remote becomes idle.

And there's no other device that is shown in Wiimote Configure except for "DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse", I don't know if that's normal.

If there's any more info you'd need to have, let me know.

[[ Solved ]]

I did came here with intentions for others to help me, but I managed to solve it myself. Save, I did went through a lot of frustration.

It's not a problem with the Wii Remote at all. I removed all the bluetooth hardwares and started from scratch. And the problem was... I was using a Gamecube Rom instead of a Zelda Wii Rom.

I guess Wii Remotes don't work for the gamecube roms. Herpa herp me.
