Wiimote suddenly goes crazy in-game. Been running fine...Motion + works perfectly!?

Bit of a weird one this. I have been running Dolphin perfectly for ages when all of a sudden this happens.

In-game (and it doesn't matter what game) the wiimote (with or without nunchuck) will work fine for ten or so minutes then go nuts. For example in Metroid Other M you can be running along fine then Samus will shoot off to the left and charge her missile and jump of her own accord.

I have not changed a single setting since the last time I played anything and have different Dolphin revisions for each game, but for some reason it is doing the same in every title!

I have re-synced the wiimote (I'm using the official Nintendo one), restarted the pc, rebooted the wiimote etc. etc. and it keeps happening.

I am using on-board bluetooth but it has never been an issue - anyone have any ideas?

The revs I use are mainly 3.0 and 3.0-179, but as I say these revs worked perfectly about a month ago.

The one difference is that I have moved my PC into a different room, but have checked all wireless/bluetooth sources and there are no issues - oddly.

Well I cant say for sure, I had similiar experience with my 3rd party wiimote. It worked very well but then after a while in game (skyward sword) link started running like crazy and bashed with his shield.
I almost gave up cause it continued several days, I tried everything.
Well after some time spent in google I heard about "slam" fix, you hold wiimote buttons facing your palm, and give it a nice slam.
I tried that and after that had 0 issues after.

You may want to try that, good luck LordBarker! Smile

Thanks mate, well tried that and whacked it a few times and still no luck. May be 'slamming' it wrong but it just becomes sluggish and non-responsive after a while. Tried disabling ever other wireless device around me etc. and no luck. It was working perfectly upstairs, but for some reason now does not work - no clue Sad

Hmm ok with the Motion + on Skyward Sword it works absolutely perfectly - why is it going crazy in other games all of a sudden?

Can anyone help with this?
