Hey guys I'm trying to pair multiple wii remotes to my computer with Dolphin 3.5, however only one wii mote can pair to the computer when i press pair remote/refresh. I just cant for the life of me get a second remote to pair after the first. Is this an issue anyone else has had and if so does anyone know to how fix it?

The problem may come from your BT adapter. Which model is it?

You must have "class 1" USB BT dongle (a very fast one with antenna if you don't want any delays)

Can you pair both of them on there own or is it just one giving you issues?

Thanks for replies guys, I am using a Rocketfish bluetooth dongle Model: RF-MRBTAD, it seems like my computer only lets me pair the first and only wii mote i paired with it. The others just blink while my computer looks like it's installing drivers, but it fails to install correctly on any other wii mote.

I'm redownloading the drivers for my bluetooth.

I have a feeling motioninjoy might have caused something with my bluetooth, I used to use that before I rollbacked my bluetooth and started using the wii mote.

As I expected , mini dongle ...
Anyway , use Toshiba Stack , it's the best BT driver for Dolphin

I bought this bluetooth dongle alot of years ago and it work great with more than one wiimote. I don't know wich class it is, but it work with three wiimotes. I didn't tested with four of them.

Yup , a full size dongle is always better for Dolphin
Mini dongle has small form factor , you have to sacrifice performance for that small form factor
It's like Desktop vs Laptop . However , an expensive mini dongle might be able to handle 4 wiimotes at once
Edit : Btw please don't buy Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0 USB dongle , these dongle might not work well with Dolphin (it might not even connect Wiimote to PC) . Old version Bluetooth 2.0 or 2.1 will work well with Dolphin
