Real Wiimote Windows 7 x64

Hello,

I have been trying for hours to get my original Nintendo Wiimote to work with Dolphin, but I can't even get windows 7 x64 to find the thing.This is driving me nuts.

I'm using this BluMax dongle:
http://blu-max.com/products/bluetooth_mini_dongle.html
It comes without drivers, but Windows 7 detectedit and installed it.
The Wiimote wasn't detected however...

Then I tried installing the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, but still the Wiimote is not detected...

Could someone please explain how to get Windows 7 to find my Wiimote ... Sad

Many thanks in advance!

Press 1+2 on the Wiimote Tongue

Well, I dunno really, probably faulty dongle

Wow, I uninstalled the BT Stack and installed the very old BlueSoleil version 2.6.0.9, downloaded from BluMax support. Now It is finally found and looks connected, since BlueSoleil shows a green line from the Wiimote icon to the orange sphere, but every few seconds a red dots runs along the line (don't know if that's normal), but the lights on the Wiimote keep blinking...

I'm now trying to find out if it is connected correctly and how to get glovepie working...

Hmmm I just got it to work :-)
Somehow BT simply stopped working altogether and a reboot fixed it.
Then I reconnected the Wiimote with BlueSoleil and simply started Dolphin.
Activated the Wiimote and started playing :-)

I thought I needed Glovepie. Do I need it at all for Dolphin or just for some special functions maybe?
