Wiimote disconnects from dolphin when I press the select button . ?

[lamasaurusrex]

Okay so I have a really high end pc , I play alot of games on Dolphin . I've been playing Fatal Frame 4 , it runs flawless ... the only problem is that the select button accesses the games menu , but for some reason whenever i press select on my wiimote , after about 2 seconds the blue light on my wiimote turns off and it disconnects . The game will still be on screen but i cant control it , I really want to play this game but NEED to access the menu .

Once again whenever i press the select (-) button it disconnects my wiimote from dolphin .

Thank you for the help !

:EDIT:

The Wiimote also usually disconnects after about 8 minutes of play . I really need help here .

Sounds to me, your Wii Remote needs new batteries
