In order to use bluetooth passthrough with an adapter, you need to install a special driver for it, which is not a bluetooth driver. Your PC still sees the adapter, but not as a bluetooth device, which is why it can't connect to regular bluetooth devices when that driver is installed.

So if you have 2 adapters, where different models make it easier to use 2 different drivers, you can use one for passthrough and one for regular bluetooth devices.

Dolphin has a mode to use real wiimotes with a bluetooth adapter and a regular bluetooth driver. Since i have never used that, i don't know how well it works, or if it works together with other bluetooth controllers at the same time.

Thanks a lot! Smile
It all makes sense now.
I guess the one inconvenience of using the passthrough mode is that I need another BT adapter If I want to use the regular controllers for a different emulator or a different game, for instance,right? Unless I repair them with the appropriate adapter each time I need to switch.
Anyways, I'll look into all that and it's good to know there are several options available Smile
Best,
