Possible to use the Wii's sensor bar right?

[vasametropolis]

I know I can't exactly plug it in, but theoretically could you use the actual Wii sensor bar with Dolphin?

I know it's just IR, so if the system is on it should work. I haven't got one so I can't check, but does anyone know if the bar is powered when the system is in standby or does it need to be fully on? This will help me decide if I should get a different one for convenience.

You can use candles if you want :3

Or just buy a wireless sensorbar. Works fine
