Wiimote passthrough on switch

05-21-2019, 08:36 AM #1

Hello,
I am trying to use wiimote passthrough on my nintendo switch to play wii sports, and it tells me "Bluetooth passthough is enabled but no useable Bluetooth USB device was found. Aborting." When I went to the "forcing" section, I realized i don't know the switch's BT adapter ID. How do I get passthrough working as fast as possible?

Probably the Switch Bluetooth adapter isn't compatible with the Wii Bluetooth adapter, thus making it unable to use it.

Also, the Switch port of Dolphin is not supported here, so the best suggestion I can give you is to ask the creators of the port if they are able to help you further.

The Switch port? Isn't it just the regular PC version of Dolphin except compiled for AArch64, or is there a fork I don't know about?

IIRC they made a core for libretro (Retroarcade) for the Switch and AFAIK there is no "native" version of Dolphin for Switch.

Ah, okay. I suppose it's similar to the "regular" libretro core then. But I don't think that one supports Bluetooth passthrough at all...

They are probably using L4T Ubuntu https://gbatemp.net/threads/l4t-ubuntu-a-fully-featured-linux-on-your-switch.537301/

You didn't follow the setup if you don't know your vid/pid https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Passthrough

Best I can tell from google just type
sudo lsusb
in a terminal, and it will give you vid:pid in the id section.
