First, I will state my specs:

i7 870 @ 2.93 GHz Quadcore Processor
ATI Radeon HD 5570 Video Card
12 gbs of DDR3 RAM

This computer also has internal bluetooth abilities.
I bought an official Nintendo Wii Wireless sensor.
The Wiimote and Nunchuck I have are from the AfterGlow brand.

Important: I HAVE gotten Dolphin to read both the Wiimote and Nunchuck before, and I have played Trauma Team on it, but when I left to go with a friend, I closed Dolphin, and it didn't occur to me just leave the settings alone when I came back.

Thus, I'm left with a problem of trying to make the Wiimote and Nunchuck work again.


The Process:


I don't have an issue with syncing the Wiimote to the computer. Doing that is pretty easy. I've also tested if it was being read by going to the recording function in the Wiimote plugin. It reads everything, including depth.

EDIT: Was reading everything. Now it can't read the wiimote. Greaaaaat.

When I sync the wiimote to the computer, the wiimote stays lit up, but the see-through nunchuck does not. To fix this, I go to the wiimote plugin and refresh real remotes, then reconnect the nunchuck, then it lights up.

I figure this would be good, so I now turn on my Wii sensor--put it to 1H--then open Trauma Team on Dolphin. Neither the wii motion sensor icon is detected nor the nunchuck.

Is there some sort of configuration that I need?
Please check attachments.

My bluetooth drivers are all updated.

I think this is all the information I can provide, but I'm willing to give more if requested. Any suggestions on what to try?

Testing now. Will edit soon. Thank you, knglrk.

Edit: Unfortunately, no luck.
This time, however, the nunchuk doesn't even light up when going to the wiimote section. I've tried reconnecting it like with dolphin 2.0, and unhappiness--it doesn't light up.

The wiimote doesn't register either, although it says it does.

Any other suggestions? Am I missing a program to make this thing work?

No luck again. I've seen that video before, but unfortunately, it doesn't show you anything else outside of just syncing your wiimote to your computer. There's no Dolphin configuration.

Already did that prior to the no luck attachment.

Edit:
Interesting. It seems that the wii mote buttons work correctly. I tested this out on Rune Factory. However, the nunchuck is not detected. And I'm going to give a random guess that the motion sensor is not being read. This is odd.

Perhaps the issue is the wireless motion sensor? I just bought this brand new (6 hours ago). Is there something I don't know? Is this thing supposed to sync to the computer via bluetooth as well? I don't see a button for that.

Edit 2: Interesting. The D Pad works. The a b - + etc. signs work on the wiimote. Home button works. Well, it gives me the red sign over the home button.
are you using genuine nintendo wiimote?
Google "Bluesoleil",it's useful for cheap USB Bluetooth dongle

I do not have a usb bluetooth dongle, sir. I have an internal bluetooth device. This computer is fairly new, but I remember buying it from HP and choosing the option to have bluetooth compatiability. This is why the Wiimote can light up, right?

Edit: Okay, so this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to go to Gamestop and see if these controllers are actually defective. I'll get a standard nintendo wiimote and nunchuck IF these do not function while at the store (aka, since I'm there anyway, I plan to test it out using their wii).

Be back in approximately 20 minutes.
