Wiimote paired but buttons and cursor don't work.

[hungyzerglin]

Hi guys, longtime lurker, first time poster. I recently purchased a black Wiimote Plus (Link) and a Nunchuk (both are official Nintendo products), as well as an Iogear GBU421 USB Bluetooth dongle (Link). I plugged in the dongle, right-clicked the bluetooth tray icon and paired up my Wiimote without a pairing code. It recognized the "Nintendo-RVL-CNT-01" device. I loaded up Dolphin RVN-7313 x64, went to Wiimote, changed input source to "Real Wiimote", paired up, and my Wiimote rumbled and changed to 1st light being steady. However, when I load up a game, none of the buttons or the cursor works. I understand to get the cursor movement working, I probably need a sensor bar (Nyko wireless bar is in the mail).

My current system specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Ult x64 SP1 (build 7601)
CPU: AMD x6 1090T
Dolphin version: 7313 x64
Wiimote: Black Wiimote Plus with Nunchuk (official products)
Bluetooth adapter: Iogear GBU421
Bluetooth Stack: Widcomm BT_Vista_7_v6.3.0.7500

Prior to posting, I did some googling and searching on the forums. I think my problem may be related to the bluetooth stack. Can someone verify that I installed the BT stack correctly? I understand the BT adapter needs a correct BT stack to function, so after I bought the Iogear I downloaded the Win7/Vista stack from Iogear's site (link) and installed it. It seems as though the Wiimote is still being recognized via the Microsoft stack.

Maybe try uninstalling Iogear's BT stack? Windows 7 has its own that should work fine. 1st light lit, rumble seems like you should be good to go already though. What game(s) did you try to play?

I've tried it with the default windows stack (uninstalled the widcomm driver). Still gives the same issue . It seems like I'm having the same issue with lots of people in this thread:

Right now I'm wondering if it's the BT adapter (Iogear GBU421), even though this is on the list of compatible BT adapters, or the Wiimote (maybe I should have bought the older gen 1 Wiimote without built-in MotionPlus). If anyone has any solution, I'd be grateful. I've also tried this with Zelda:TP (wii PAL version) and Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii version).

The same thing happened to me. I overcame this by using Bluesoleil. Then the Wiimote worked.

Hey guys, back with an update. I got the Wiimote to respond after remembering what one forum member said in another thread. I took out the batteries, then just kept pairing/refreshing and also restarting dolphin and retesting. Eventually, after a couple (like 4-5), dolphin recognized button presses in TP. The cursor isn't working yet (need to wait for my nyko wireless sensor bar to arrive), but everything is working good and responsive. Note I did not have to use Bluesoleil. The only thing I did was google "broadcom bluetooth update", install that (it also installed the latest widcomm drivers), and then I just brute force restarted dolphin and re-paired the Wiimote.
