Skyward Sword Help

[Xonaph]

I have been trying and failing to get skyward sword to start on my PC. I set the controller to Real Wii remote, and I have a Nintendo Wii remote, Nunchuck, and Wii motion plus adapter, and I am using a Mayflash Dolphin bar set to mode 4. But every-time I try to play Skyward sword, I get a prompt saying that the connection to the Wii Remote has been interrupted, and to reconnect the remote. I have tried Alt F5 to reconnect, and unplugged the Wii motion plus, and the nunchuck individually to see if they where the problem. But I am still stuck on that screen, and can't get to the actual game. If it helps any I am running Ubuntu 15.04.

I remember reading somewhere that the Dolphin bar is not working properly under GNU/Linux :/ I'm also using Ubuntu but I don't have one so I don't know if that's true or not and I can't help you further. Sorry.

PS: Make sure you upgrade to 15.10 as soon as possible. 15.04 is an EOL (end of life) release now, which means that it isn't supported anymore and you won't get any security updates.

OK, so I know what the issue is regarding the Wii remote not working in Dolphin, it won't work unless I install a specific build of dolphin, like the one here http://github.com/Tilka/dolphin/tree/dolphinbar_linux The issue is, I don't know how to compile it, or install it to run this dolphin

That's what I was afraid of, support for the DolphinBar does not currently seem to be implemented in master.

Just follow these instructions to build Dolphin. You can follow all the steps there but instead of cloning the official repository, you should clone Tilka/dolphin and build the dolphinbar_linux branch.

Keep in mind that the fork is based on an old version of the Dolphin codebase, so things may not work as good as in the latest builds. (You could update the fork and pull from master to have the latest "base" + the DolphinBar code if you know how to do that.)

Thank you for the help, I will try to build the dolphin bar branch. And see if everything works out.

Ask any dev and they'll give you the same answer: MotionPlus emulation will not be implemented because there's absolutely no sensible way to implement it. Also, if you have Skyward Sword, why wouldn't you have a real Wiimote or MotionPlus?
