Hello, I am new here and have some questions to ask.

1) I'm going to buy a cheap wiimote to use with the emulator, do clon wiimotes work? I think i will buy this one:

If someone want a cheap sensor bar, this one has great reviews

2) I've already bought a bluetooth from dealextreme and reading the forums i know it works, but someone said it didn't work with more than one wiimote.
Is this right?? the dongle is this one:

3) Is just to comment a bug i found on Star Fox Assault. In the first boss monster, after taking more than 50% its health, it just desappeared and the game keep looping and never ends.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my spanglish.
No, all fakes / clones don't work with dolphin, or even recognise on a pc.
I saw this live because my friend had bad experiences with a $12 wiimote from hongkong, and it wouldn't work with dolphin either.

But that sensor bar and mini-bluetooth dongle are good
in fact I'm using that BT reciever you listed (from dx) since 6 months ago. It supports even 4 wiimotes without problems Smile
I've bought two knock-off wiimotes (one from ebay, one from dealextreme) and they both worked with my computer. Out of both of them, the Dealextreme is the worst. When I use it with my Wii, the IR sensor on it is awful and the rumble is shit. I wouldn't recommend buying it from them.

However, I also bought that USB dongle you linked and it did not work with more than one wiimote at a time. The few times I could connect both of them (using Bluesoleil) one would disconnect after 19 seconds and if I tried using them at the same time in Dolphin I would get a BSOD (seriously).

Same here. Bought the exactly same dongle, and it didn't work. I wouldn't recommend that. There are cheap and good dongles on DX but that is not one of them. Search for a one that has user reviews stating that it works on PC with multiple Wiimotes. Shy
Well, I'm gonna take the risk and buy this wiimote:

In one of the comments someone says he was using it with dolphin and whats best, he was using it with the bluetooth adapter i already have!!!
and its cheaper!!!

If everything goes fine, i am going to play like in a wii for only a 1/25 the cost of a Wii in Argentina.

wiimote and wiichuck $17,39
sensor bar $5,26
_____
total $22,65

Wish me luck!

Wrong. The problem are the chinesse drivers and the bt class 3 inside this thrid party ¿wiimotes?. So, u need:

1.- Class 2 or Class 1 BT adapter. Stay away from micro ultra mini super small dognles from DX, all they are class 3! It only work with 1 ¿wiimote?+¿nunchuck? (2 and u are so lucky).
2.- Bluesoleil.

Now check this links:

¿Wiimote?+¿Nunchuck?:

Good luck.
Thanks for the response Ocean.
That is the first wiimote+nunchuck i had in mind... i cant decide.

this one looks better and has better rating
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.28576
this is cheaper (1 dollar only) has good revies (not great like the other) but is confirmed to work with dolphin.
Wich one should i go for?

I am just going to buy one wiimote (for now), so i think the mini bluetooth will work.
I think you should atleast consider the ones Dynam0 linked. I can say from personal experience, stay away from the "ultra-mini-mega-super-ultra-nano-adapters". Even though it may work with one Wiimote, you will run to problems like controller disconnecting, losing the signal etc. You may get lucky and play well without problems, but atleast you'll be in trouble when you'd like to play with your friends.

The ones Dynam0 recommended do not cost that much more, and with them you should be playing without problems.
The first have Silicone Sleeve and strap Tongue. Go for: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.31993

Bye.
Well, judging from DX reviews it seems the manufacturer also puts crap items into inventory for almost all items that are sold there (so that about 50% are good items, and 50% are trash or just don't work)

DeLock and dlink make quality ones for about 5 to 10 bucks, you could also try those. Although I never had a problem with that DX $2 dongle either
