No IR support?

Hi, my Wii has been stolen lately and I was fortunate enough to find Dolphin so that to resume playing my games...

The emulator is great and my PC is strong enough to play every last of my games at 60FPS (at least those I tried). However I found out that Dolphin does not support the IR pointer feature that is so important to the wii experience.

To emulate the IR signal I've bought a cheap sensor off ebay I tested it (using GlovePie) yet Dolphin *still* refuses to show the pointing "hand" in my games.

Like I wrote I'm sure that both my controller and my sensor are fully working (I've tested them) and I've used 3 different versions of Dolphin yet -still- I get no pointer. It's a bit frustrating, given how great your software is, apart from this...

So, is there any way to make dolphin recognize IR signals?

Thank you.

It works fine here . What kind of sensor bar you have , wireless SB ? USB SB ?
Is your Wiimote connecting to Dolphin ?
You must keep you wiimote 3 feet (1m) away from the sensor bar
Try Toshiba Bluetooth Stack
Using a camera to see if your sensor bar still working

I use a wireless sensor bar.
Yes I can use my wiimote with those games that do not requite IR.
I use a generic bluetooth stick and also one from MSI, same results (I can see the wiimote but no IR).
The sensor works I've used GlovePIE to emulate mouse movement in my Windows' Desktop.

...It's Dolphin that cannot "see" the sensor. Any ideas?

Try Dolphin 3.0 - the most stable version

Same issues here, I found using 40 + watt lights does the trick, shady at best. Its like using a mouse on highest sensitivity. Since glove is working it must be something in dolphin. I see the sensitivity settings but less only makes the delay more noticeable.
