Whats a good solution for Bluetooth Passtrough build(adapter + IR emiter) these days?

[samplerico]

First off, im new to this forums, ive been reading stuff and geting informed for weeks and i would like to say how amazing is te work devs are doing here and how people is helping each other. Thanks for all.

Getting on topic, I've purchased a Dolphin Bar weeks ago thinking it would be the perfect solution. It turns out its a very good solution but not the perfect one i was hoping for. I got that idea mostly by watching youtube videos (those guys need some more in deep research before advicing geting anyone hyped).

Anyway. So now i have the Mayflash Dolphin bar, and don't get me wrong, is working great and im absolutely amazed that i can play at 4K with my wiimotes. But, just my luck, i recently read about that Bluetooth Passtrough new feature for Dolphin and aknowledged my bar is not compatible, indeed ive tried Skyward Sword and Wii Sports Resorts and im having issues with motion plus support. And ther is little to non existant information about what can be done or what Mayflash will do. So i basically want to know what are the news on Mayflash doing a full Dolphin Bluetooth Passtrough compatible adapter. Will they update the firmware? or release a new adapter and grab the cash? (ive already paid 20€, im not going to do it again anytime soon).

If not, or if im not willing to give them more money, is ther any other solution? Ive seen the BT adapter compatibility list for BTP but seems people is getting mixed results from the "more compatibles" adapters and then thers the IR emiter thing, that Nextronics sensor bar recomended by Dolphin team doesn't seems to work well (reviews and forums doesn't like it) and the otehrs i can find are all wireless (i prefer a wired one) or wii ones with the wii interface (not usb).

So for now, if i want direct bluetooth passtrough for full native wiimotion plus support what are my options? How is the future looking for a BTP plug and play dolphin bar alike solution?

I don't think there is a sensor bar including a Bluetooth adapter right now. You'd have to get a Bluetooth adapter (and yes, there are not many that can compete with the Wii's, surprisingly) and a sensor bar separately.

Fwiw, I have updated the wiki chart to clarify which ones are recommended.
Basically: if you know how to solder and can find a Wii Bluetooth module, use it. If not, try to get one of the green adapters on the list. Or the orange ones, if the downsides are acceptable to you. Avoid the red ones; they won't work well at all.

It's unknown.

Thank you for your answers.

After two weeks and two mails i finally got a proper answer form Mayflash:

"Dear Sir,

We are sorry the dolphinbar cannot support the Bluetooth Passthrough at present, But we are planning to develop dolphinbar plus which can support this. Please keep attention to us, Thank you."

So basically theyr plan is to release a new dolphin bar without any frmware update on the existing one...Sad, i guess we will have a proper solution for Bluetooth Passtrough in the near future but those of us with dolphin bars will be forced to buy a new device if we want that new BP feature for dolphin...
