Wiimote and Bluetooth

[SabbyNeko]

Just won't work.

I have what I think is an official Wiimote, but I'm checking with Ebay to make sure. I have Windows 7 x86, and a basic Bluetooth Dongle.




Mine is a Version 3.0 if that matters.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers, using Bluesoleil, uninstalling any conflicting devices (there were none I could find) and updating the drivers (it was already up to date) and so far, my Wiimote just flashes as it tries to synch up and the Bluetooth program won't find it.

I thought of buying a better Dongle, but Googling the problem has made it look like the Dongle itself isn't a big factor and I don't want to spend any more money then I already have without some more information.

Try Toshiba Stack

This download will take a bit, but I hope it works Thanks, will let ya know, and damn your reply was quick!

Welp, I tried. It's a Wiimote Plus, so I tried 1 + 2, the Home Button, and the B Button. It 'can't detect remote device'.

Wait, I did some reading on the forums, and it sounds like the internal Motion Plus Wiimotes are a bit sketchy. Can anyone confirm? Is there a difference between an in-built Motion Plus and an old Wiimote with an attachment?

No , it's the same
I own both motion plus add-on and old version of wiimote plus (Motion Plus inside) . The new version of wiimote plus is the problem (from December 2011 till now)
Wiimotes that i have right now :
_2 Old version Wiimote Plus Blue and Pink (2010-2011)
_Zelda Wiimote Plus - Gold (November 2011)
_Regular Wiimote + Motion Plus add-on (2009-2010)

Note : The old version of Wiimote Plus is not the old regular Wiimote as i explained in that thread

It's fake . not original product from Nintendo

Wonderful, I got ripped off then x.x Can you recommend a compatible controller on Ebay, or can I just walk into a gaming store and any there will work?

[admin89]

This is original Nintendo Wiimote Plus

But i can't recommend it to you . It's new version , i don't know if i work or not
The old version will work . Zelda SS Gold Wiimote is one type of those old version Wiimote Plus

I hate to pester you further, as you've been extremely helpful But browsing Ebay, I don't know how to check if one is 'old' or 'new'. I'd also like to get it in pink if that's possible, but I understand if I can't.

How do I tell if a Motion Plus Controller is the old model you mention?

No way you can tell unless you connect that wiimote to your PC :
_If it's old version , it will show the code name "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01"
_........new.........., ......................................"Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 TR"
