Sensor bar help

How does the Wiimote and nunchuck work on the PC w/ Dolphin? So far I understand that you need the bluetooth adaptor. I'm not confused about that.

What confuses me is the sensor bar. Is it needed or does the bluetooth adaptor do the same thing?

If not and I need the sensor bar, am I able to use my Wii sensor bar with the PC? Do I have to use a 3rd party sensor bar? I'm brand new to this so I don't know what to do.

You need a sensor bar(infrared led) to enable wiimote cursor,without it you can't point wiimote on the screen
You could convert wii sensor bar to USB sensor bar (search youtube or google.com)
Or buy a wireless one(use battery) on amazon,ebay,newegg.....

Ah, watched a very good video. It explained the Wii sensor is nothing more than just a bar emitting 4 dots of infrared light for the Wii-mote to track its movement.

So, now that is cleared up for me.

Any advice on bluetooth adaptors or shall any suffice? Otherwise, I was just going to go with the most high-spec and expensive to be safe.
