Sensor bar works, but not under Dolphin

[Stalkid64]

Not too sure what is up with this. I've tried it in the last stable and official nightly x64 builds but games under Dolphin just will not pick up that my sensor bar is there. I've tried two separate official bars (both of which work just perfectly on Wii and Wii U - the lights are definitely fine and on), an original Wiimote, one with WMP addon, one from Skyward Sword with the WMP built in, and the one from the Wii U Premium version with WMP. As with the bars, all of these are working perfectly with the consoles (and at the same or greater distance it makes no difference), and Dolphin, so the problem seems to be purely Dolphin not picking up the IR.

Anyone run into this before? Anyone know how to resolve it..?

How are you setting this up?

Wiimotes via BT, Wii or Wii U running the sensor bar for power. Pretty much standard I guess.

Is the Wii/Wii U in a state where it's giving the sensor bar power? I think the Wii does it all the time when it's turned on but the Wii U only does it if a Wii Remote is connected and the software wants to use the sensor bar.

I don't know if this is the issue, but I'll say it just in case: if you're using a Wii U, it won't initialize the sensor bar unless there's a Wiimote connected. If you boot it into Wii mode, however, it will always accept sensor input just like a Wii would. I'm not sure if you've done this or not, just making sure.

Very sure the sensor bars are on a powered state - I used to do this all the time and am very familiar with how each console deals with it - mostly just use the standard Wii since it's "always on" from the Home Screen. Camera will show the IR lights are on and it'll work fine if I use it with the Wii/Wii U in the same spot at the same distance. Once synced with Dolphin though, it just isn't seeming to respond at all.
Bit of an odd one this!

Hm. Just updated it to the very latest nightly (I was one behind) and suddenly it works again after weeks of not doing so. Very odd but there you go. The quirks of PC emulation! Ho hum.
