I bought a knock off wiimote for about 15 bucks, I figured it would atleast be detected even if it doesn't work in dolphin. I can't get either windows or toshiba stack to detect it, they both act like its not even there. Windows bluetooth doesn't detect it and toshiba stack says its unable to aswell. I have tried hitting 1+2, sync, power, even the movement controls. All the controller does is flash 4 blue lights and thats it.
I followed this guide and it never gets detected in step 4 of the "Connecting the Wii Remote Plus" section.:

Its not a wiimote plus, just a regular wiimote, is that a problem?
Only genuine Nintendo Wiimotes are guaranteed to work with Dolphin. If it's a 3rd-party or fake wiimote, then it's a hit or miss (some may work, some not). In your case it seems that you're out of luck, there's nothing you can do about it other than getting a genuine wiimote, I think =/
But windows itself isn't detecting it. If it was dolphin I could understand it being picky since emulation is quite a mystery. Shouldn't it atleast show up in windows?
The issue might come from your Bluetooth adapter
Are some adapters not supported by toshiba stack? I had it installed and it wouldn't pick up my phone or the wiimote, uninstalled it and it picked up the phone, still no wiimote detection though.
I tried bluesoleil, still nothin'.

Yes. Some adapters are not compatible with Toshiba stack.

Don't expect too much from BlueSoleil :p. At least with Dolphin.
I think the problem comes from your BT adapter.
This one will work. To give you an example

That seems kind of hard to find in the US. I am currently working through this list to find anything on amazon/ebay but its not going well.

I have an extra wifi adapter that I can use, is it possibly to use a wifi adapter as a bluetooth dongle?

No, unless it's a combo card (WiFi+BT). Regardless, the BT adapter
listed here should work fine (assuming it's a problem with BT dongle, which I doubt since your wiimote is 3rd-party one)...
