Hi,
i was messing around with the Windows HID API on Windows 10 and some Wii Remotes.
I figured that the MS Bluetooth Stack was working fine with the HID API and the newer Wii Remotes, as well as the Wii U Pro Controller.
Here is the Link to my little test program on Github: https://github.com/jloehr/Wiimote-HIDAPI
I've tested it on my Laptop (Windows 10 Pro 64Bit, all updates installed) with two different Bluetooth Adapters.
One is a Build-In and the other is a USB Dongle (However both are CSR Chips with VID0A12 & PID0001, but different Revisions).
The only important thing is, that one needs to start the paring process through the Red Sync Button on the Back of the Wii Remotes.
I'm asking whether you are aware of this, and if not, if others can confirm that it is also working for them with different Dongles.
If that is working throughout all Dongles and all Windows 10 installations, that means users won't need the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack Hack to get the newer Wii Remotes working on Windows.
I also already cloned the current master branch and jumped into the RealWiimote Code. Currently Dolphin freezes when a "-TR"-Wiiremote is connected and "Refresh" is hit. The reason is, that the "Balance-Board Filter" is not properly working for those.
I would like to fix that and propose a Pull Request later on. But only if you can confirm that and changes on the Real Wiimotes Windows Code is desired.
Best Regards,
Julian
