I've had no troubles with tons of Wii games on Dolphin but this game is giving me trouble. I get it up and running just fine and can get through 15-30 minutes of playing when out of nowhere it says it has lost communication with the controller and to reconnect the wiimote. This is a screen from the game, not Dolphin. The only way I can get the Wiimote to reconnect is to exit out of Dolphin, reconnect via the Bluetooth icon in my tray, start Dolphin back up and start a new game. Any clue why this is or how to resolve it? I need my golf fix with this cold weather and would greatly appreciate any help!

If you get Wiimote disconnects I suggest you enable Alternate Wiimote Timing under Game Properties (right click the game in the list of games)
That should fix your problem (I hope)
And you shouldn't have restart Dolphin just because it drops connection. ALT+F5 should suffice to connect the Wiimote again.


EDIT: Nice to see a fellow golf enthusiast I love PGA Tour 12 too mainly because you get yourself a real caddie, something PGA Tour 13 lacks. Though I think there is some differences since I play these on my PS3 instead.

Awesome, I will have to give that a try in the next few days (too busy with year-end work stuff). Thanks!

Use the official Dolphin 3.5 release and try the settings for best speed (ink in my sig)

3 years later and I'm trying to play this game again, only with a different problem. I'm using the 4.0-8140 release of Dolphin but now I'm seeing the following problem. After loading the game, and doing the initial intro where you play a whole with Tiger to win his 5th Masters, it goes back to the main menu area and is stuck on "Initializing Connection". It seems like it's trying to go out to the internet to pull data (I think this game gets real-time weather from around the world). It will do this forever, and won't give it. I'll walk my Wiimote far away and the game says connection with the Wiimote is lost, I'll regain connection and it will go back to the Initializing Connection screen. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tiger 12 doesn't recognize my Swing. No matter which settings I use, no matter if I use Nunchaku or Classic, I can't swing to take my shot, rendering the game unplayable. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this here.

I'm using a Windows 360 controller. Everything works except swing. I tried using mouse and keyboard too, with the same results. Certain swing settings in the game require a Wii+, but not all. I am trying to use any swing settings that don't require it. I was unable to find an uploaded Dolphin/Wii profile for this game.

How do I get my controller to use my right analogue stick to swing? Does anyone have a profile I can use? I've been trying for 2 days strait, non-stop to get it to work, but I can't figure out how to make this thing recognize my right analogue as a swing stick.

Using Dolphin 5.0.

Swing emulation is inexact; mapping it to a controller won't work for every controller. I think using a real wiimote is the only way to make certain games work right at this point. That doesn't make it unplayable.
