New to this - do the real Wiimotes work with a Windows 7 PC? Im assuming I need blue tooth receiver on the PC. Looking to play WiiSports on my PC. Thanks in advance.

Yes they work, I suggest getting a bluetooth adapter that has its own software, insted of using microsofts. Also you can only use 1 wiimote at the moment with dolphin.

Any suggestions on a receiver they works well with Dolphin and a Wiimote?

im using the standard ms software and driver on win 7 rtm x64 pro. works like a charm except this:

but that has nothing to do with the OS but dolphin Smile

P.S. only thing thats annoying: you have to delete the wiimote from the bluetooth devices after turning it off in order to be able to reconnect again.
