Problems with wii motes with latest revisions

[vyeshaun]

Hi all, I have seen a few people are having problems connecting the wii motes with some newer dolphin revisions, myself included.

Im not sure if it helps, but thought I would post anyway. Just incase.

If you are getting the little "Connecting" message in the bottom right corner of dolphin and are positive that the wii mote is installed correctly try this :-

Shut down dolphin completely. Open up task manager (ctrl/alt & del) and see if dolphin.exe is in the list. If so, right click and end task. Then re-add your wii mote to bluetooth devices. And fire up dolphin and try again. Hoepfully it will connect.

I have found this has happened a few times to me, for some reason dolphin doesnt truely to shut down at times although it appears to have. So when you fire it up again it cant connect to your wii mote as its already connected via the sneaky previous dolphin.exe already running that you cant see


I really hope this helps some people with this issue. Also may be handy for the devs to be aware of.

you don't need to re add your wiimote to the devices, if dolphin is really not shutting down and its making a mess in the drivers, killing it in the task manger should be enough. and obviously don't have something like glovepie runing a script in the background because it will have the same effect.
