I have gone through the troubleshooting of getting the wiimote motion plus to work correctly for over a day for PC windows 7 desktop and PC windows 8 laptops using medialink bluetooth 4.0 and asus BT211 3.0 bluetooth dongles.
here is a guide I typed up with steps. mostly accumulated from viewing the majority of issues and solutions and came up with this. I also attached a word doc with these steps.


How to get the WII motion plus to work with dolphin.

Windows 7

1. Plugin Bluetooth dongle

2. Install the Toshiba Bluetooth stack 9

3. If Toshiba stack does not recognize your Bluetooth then goto control panel, device manager, click on arrow next to Bluetooth, select your Bluetooth device (ignore the emu one) select properties, select details, then select hardware ID’s. Select and copy the second on the list (shorter one) copy to notepad (you will need this soon). It should look kinda like USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21E8.

4. Goto c:\program files (x86)\toshiba\bluetooth Toshiba stack\drivers\tosrfusb\

5. Select and copy tosrfusb.inf to another part of the drive (not C:\) you can use a usb drive or another partition.

6. After you copy the file, edit the copied one in notepad.

7. Scroll down the list of devices, you will notice 3 long lists, first and second look like %TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc161%=TosrfUsb_Device,

8. Add your device ID from the notepad in step 3 to the bottom of the first 2 lists, making sure to increment with the listings, so the list should have 160 before modify. At the bottom of %TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc160%=TosrfUsb_Device, USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3004 add your device. Here is what my device was USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21E8 and this is what I put at the bottom of this list and the second list. %TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc161%=TosrfUsb_Device, USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21E8. So both lists should have your device and the device number is 1 greater than the previous device. So it is in numerical order. Like this %TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc159%=TosrfUsb_Device, USB\VID_13D3&PID_3362
%TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc160%=TosrfUsb_Device, USB\VID_0CF3&PID_3004
%TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc161%=TosrfUsb_Device, USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21E8
-----------------------^^ these numbers.
9. After you added your device to the bottom of the first and second list of device ID’s go to the bottom and add your Bluetooth device number and name your Bluetooth device (use original device name) so it looks like this..
TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc160 = "Bluetooth V4.0 Module (0225)"
TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc161 = "Broadcom BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Device"
My device was at the bottom #161

10. After that then save the changes, go back to c:\program files (x86)\toshiba\bluetooth Toshiba stack\drivers\tosrfusb\ and put the edited file back in this folder and copy over the old file (overwrite the old file with the modified file) after that is done copying then click ok on the installer and your Bluetooth device should install. You will get a notice about driver not digitally signed, you want that so click on it to allow it to install that.

11. Next goto the Toshiba menu in the start menu and click Bluetooth settings click add new connection and hit the sync button under the battery cover (last longer than pressing 1+2 at same time) after that your device should be seen. (does not work with 3rd party or generic wiimotes.

12. You will know your device is connected when there is a 2color icon on top of the keyboard icon in this Bluetooth settings. If it appears and disappears than follow these next steps

13. Hit 1+2 on the wiimote and allow the lights to blink til they stop, next rightclick on the device in Bluetooth settings and click connect, hit ok and right after you hit ok start pressing the dpad buttons (arrows on top of wiimote) on the wiimote your device should then stay connected.

14. Get the latest dolphin and click on the wiimote button on top right and select real wiimote in the list and click refresh near the middle of the settings dialog, your wiimote should vibrate and light up with 1 LED.

15. Go play!

Windows 8

1. Fallow steps for windows 7 until your unable to get past the Toshiba Bluetooth device connect notice.

2. If you made the modifications to the settings and still not able to get the installer to recognize your Bluetooth than do the following

3. Move mouse to bottom right corner of windows 8 desktop and click on the gear icon that shows up. Click on settings then at the bottom click change PC settings.

4. On the list on the left click on general. On the right scroll to the bottom and click on restart now under the advanced startup.

5. Next click on troubleshoot, then click advanced options, then click startup settings. Click restart (you can close the Bluetooth installer for now) install should be waiting after restart.

6. Option 7 is what we want (Disable driver signature enforcement) press 7 or F7 and computer will restart windows with the driver signature enforcement disabled. (turns back on every computer
restart so go back through these steps to disable again if you need.)

7. Next goto the control panel and click on Bluetooth local COM to finish installing your Bluetooth device. And if it works continue on with the steps in windows 7 on step 11. If not conduct the
next steps.

8. Goto control panel device manager, check to see if you have 2 bluetooth menus select the darker colored Bluetooth icon (would be your Bluetooth software device you don’t want) and select properties on your Bluetooth device (not the emu or other ones)

9. Click on update driver, browse on computer, select let me pick option, and select the driver that says it is not digitally signed. (this is what you want)

10. After that you should be able to continue with the windows 7 step 11
Thanks , been working like that for a while now , although there is still no possible way to autoreconnect / perma pair the wiimotes with the Toshiba stack , kinda annoying. :/

Im fine with paring them up when i want to play and disconnect them after im done. probably good way to save battery or something, Im sure a script can be made to do this stuff for you.
Tried multiple scripts , had some Running , but i'd realy love to have the "just turn on the wiimotes and play" sort of functioning. Since I start Wii games over a Frontend that'd come in handy Tongue
I am starting to pull my hair as I still have been facing the following issue... but I am only able to make my wiimotes work after a fresh install of Toshiba Bluetooth stack

I have an internal BT dongle on my laptop that came installed with my killer wireless N1202 gaming NIC...


My issue is that whenever I shutdown my laptop and start it back on, the Toshiba stack won't work anymore, nor recognize any BT device anymore (including my already paired wiimotes)

If I go into discovery mode in the toshiba assistant it will always fail with the following message: Unable to detect remote device.


Again this ALWAYS has happened after I shut down my PC. If I install the drivers, and haven't shutted down my PC yet, everything will work smoothly. After I shut down my laptop, it simply refuses to work anymore, and I am not very sure what the issue is and how to solve it :c ... i am beginning to give up


Any ideas what could the issue be and how to solve it?
Thanks for the replies!!
I had the Toshiba drivers working perfectly with a Kinovo BTD-400 USB adapter (on two different machines). Then I tried to set up WiiPair to get the Wiimotes to connect automatically. I uninstalled the Toshiba software to do this (because that's what the instructions called for) and now I cannot get the bluetooth device to work with the drivers again. This is incredibly frustrating. I've been at this for hours, trying different little things hoping to trick my system into installing it the "right way" again.

Does anyone know how to COMPLETELY remove a driver from Windows 7? I'm thinking my problem may be that Windows 7 is grabbing old driver information, and that's why it's failing.

Also, does anyone know of an adapter that I could purchase, right now, that works with the Toshiba Bluetooth stack out of the box? I bought the Kinovo usb adapter before I knew anything about Wii Motion Plus needing Toshiba's drivers to work properly.

This is a bad idea. The Toshiba drivers don't work that way, as is evidenced by not being able to get the bluetooth device to connect again. Just go without WiiPair and connect them the normal way - https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/wii-remote-plus-rvl-cnt-01-tr-connection-guide/

Is the WiiPair pairing interfering with the Toshiba drivers? If that's the case, how do I remove that pairing?

Is there a usb bluetooth device that works perfectly with the Wii Motion Plus controllers, including automatically connecting with WiiPair?
Here's the old guide for permanent pairing with WiiPair. - https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-how-to-permanently-pair-wiimotes-to-pc-using-only-toshiba-stack

This guide was not designed for Wii Remote Pluses. It assumes you can pair with windows normally as one of it's steps. Yea, not going to happen. And WiiPair doesn't support them anyway.

However, someone made this guide - https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-solution-rvl-cnt-01-tr-with-autoconnect

According to that, it is possible (though very difficult) to use the modified WiiPair he provides to permanently pair a Wii Remote Plus -TR to your computer. Good luck dude, I don't know anything beyond this; I had enough fun with my -TR making the big guide. lol
nice guide but doesn't work with my stupid laptop with USB\VID_148F&PID_3298
