Wiimote, out of ideas

[emailjustinbyrd]

So, I went out today and I purchased a black wii motion plus controller and nunchuck, and a wireless sensor bar from my local WalMart. All together it came to about 75.00. The only game I am really intered in playing at this point is Skyward sword.

My PC has built in blutooth, and I followed all the guides perfectly. I installed the WiiMote and it worked fine. I open Dolphin, and sync up my Wiimote, and it says my Wiimote is connected. "It doesnt vibrate like some people says it should do" I don't know if that is important. So, I then go to open Skyward sword and I get a screen telling me that it can't communicate with my wiimote, to push A without moving the stick. I can't get it to work at all, no matter what I try.

On another note, when I connect my wiimote and highlight "real wiimote" the configuration option isnt clickable. Idk if that is supposed to be that way, just giving as much info as possible. I read somewhere that disableing sound with the wiimote helps, but I can't get into any options for it because the configuration isnt clickable.

Any help would be appreciated. It's as if the emulator isnt detecting my wiimote at all and I dont know what else to do.

I just tried another game, Back to the Future, just to see if it was the game causing it. Once again, nothing. It goes to the loading screen but it doesnt even detect the controller at all. It says its connected but I have no response. All the lights on the wiimote keep flashing as well. Once again I don't know if that is important just giving as much info as I can. hoping to get an answer...

If it doesn't vibrate, it isn't going to work. Also, if real Wiimote isn't selected, it will ignore the Wiimote and only show the game the emulated Wiimote.

What Bluetooth stack are you using, and which revision of dolphin?

3.0 552-dirty is the Dolphin Version

Bluetooth stack? I am just using the bluetooth that came pre-installed on my Asus P8P67 Deluxe Motherboard... Asus Bluetooth

It shows in my bluetooth settings that it is connected.... But like I said, it never vibrated.

Also, "real wiimote" is selected...

Still looking for some help here guys.

By bluetooth stack I was meaning either the windows one (shown on the website), bluesoleil, or the Toshiba stack. Most people find the Toshiba stack works best. Try using it. If you are on 64 bit you can download it Here, with this conveniently placed link.

I tried both of those since you suggested them to me. The Toshiba stack wouldn't work. I installed it, and the install got to a point where it said "plug in bluetooth device and press ok" it would never detect my bluetooth.

The other app was the same result. I installed it but when I tried to turn it on, it couldn't detect my bluetooth device. My bluetooth is built into my botherboard....

I am considering taking this wii remote and stuff back to walmart if I can't figure this out soon. It's a waste of 80.00 if I can't get it to work, and no one seems to be able to offer up much advice to help me with it.

Maybe this can help you.

No!
I have the EVO version of your motherboard - also with built-in bluetooth. And the same Wiimote Plus, btw .
The pairing-up with dolphin does work sometimes, but usually it doesen't.
One thing you could do, is always delete your wiimote from the bt-devices and reinstall it.
Because I was tired of doing this (lotta fun, especially when you want to play with 4 people at a time), I wrote a tiny program, called Wiimote Sync. 99% of the time you do it with this program the Wiimotes will work. The remaining 1% is only, when the batteries' energy is too low .
I still feel like advertising my stuff, but it's still the #1 advice i'd give, because it simply works .

Gimme a shout if it worked .
