Wiimote with Motion Plus keeps disconnecting

04-25-2014, 09:25 AM #1

I'm trying to get my Wiimote to work with Dolphin, but I am having some issues.

First, I tried just adding it via default Windows 8 Bluetooth settings. When that didn't work, I tried using Toshiba Bluetooth stack. It installed fine, I paired it up, and it appeared to be working in Dolphin. However, after a minute or two it gets disconnected.

No matter what I do, it keeps getting disconnected from my computer after a couple minute of playing in dolphin.

The Wiimote I'm using is RVL-CNT-01. I'm using Windows 8, and Dolphin 4.0

I would appreciate any help. I've tried searching (that's how I found out about the Toshiba program), but I can't seem to find what I am doing wrong.

Thank you in advance.

If your Wiimote isn't official (not made by Nintendo) it might be the problem.

It might also come from your Bluetooth adapter

Try disabling remote speakers.

My Wiimote is official, as far as I know.

My Bluetooth adapter is an Intel Centrino Wireless Bluetooh 4.0 High Speed adapter, built into my GA-Z87N-WIFI motherboard. Is there a way to see if it's the problem?

I tried this, and it actually helped a little I think, but it is still getting disconnected.

You should try with an external adapter. Built-in adapters are not the best deal.

Which game(s) have you been trying to play?

Is there any way I can know for sure if its my adapter without buying a new one? I'd prefer not to pay for one and have the same exact issue.

I'm trying to play Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii and Skyward Sword.

I also experienced a lot of disconnects with Toshiba software stack.
First I also though I can't make it work through MS BT Stack, but later I succeeded in it.

The pairing is easy enough, but very not straight forward in the first place, because it ask you to enter some code at pairing >_< No matter what code I entered the pairing was always failing. I knew I should pair without a code, but it always asked for code... so i always entered some. Then I left code field black and clicked "next". Accidentally it got paired.

Then you should start Dolphin and choose "real wii mote" in controller settings. Then press Refresh button and press Ok. Wii mote should vibrate if everything is fine.

That way I stopped to get disconnects out of nowhere, but getting disconnect a lot when playing sound through speaker.
