Official WiiMote Plus RVL-CNT-01 will connect to PC but Dolphin doesn't see it

[Adventurer]

I have a RVL-CNT-01 WiiMote Plus, NOT the TR. It does have the sync button. Windows 8 is able to detect it as such, RVL-CNT-01, and will pair it. However, when I try to pair it through Dolphin, it will not detect it no matter what I do. I hold down 1+2, I try the sync button, I try power, nothing works.

Afterward, I tried Toshiba Stack 9. I know this is not a RVL-CNT-01-TR but I wanted to see if it would help. It installed successfully, but when I tried to pair it through that I got the error 'Detection of service failed'.

I don't know what's up. Everything I've read indicates this should be working, but it's not.

Trying BlueSoleil now... this time the error is 'passkeys do not match'.

Banging my head against the wall here.

Okay well after trying to change out the batteries of my Wiimote yet again, it is now refusing to come on at all. So I guess the Wiimote is just dead. ~Fin~

Do not pair it through windows! It never works, and can keep Dolphin or the Toshiba stack from connecting with it!

Since it's not a -TR, you don't need the Toshiba Stack at all. Clear out anything you've set up and remove the toshiba stack, and follow the connecting instructions here: https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/configuring-controllers/#Real_Wiimote
