Been using Dolphin for awhile now, previously had two different versions (one from a few months ago and a really old one) because some games only worked with the real old one. However i've now downloaded the latest version and all games (well the ones i've tested atleast - by that i mean the ones that were compatible with a controller) work fine so hopefully now i can just have one version for all my games. However i now encounter this problem listed in the screen shot which i have never once seen before on any version of Dolphin i've ever used. I've un-installed and re-installed my bluetooth dongle several times (and the driver and software too) made sure "bluetooth radio" is switched on, googled this as much as i could to find a solution but nothing seems to help so when all else fails hopefully one of you lovely Dolphin-forum nerds can help me out with this. Cheers.
Sorry for being a Nazi.
Are you still rocking windows 7 x64?
what type of controller is it?
What is your controller config?
It would probably help to tell us what bluetooth stack you were using as well. Toshiba I assume?
Not trying to backseat moderate, but may I suggest that you maybe edit the thread's title to something a bit more descriptive of your problem or question? "WTF IS THIS???" really provides no context or information. I suspect a more informative title would help you get more help quicker.

Ok firstly to you love... my BT dongle is a Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited and it came with a CSR Harmony Wireless Software Stack mini-disc for the software and driver and stuff. Never had any problems with it on those two older versions.
Ok now for you Mickequipe, my system specs are as follows (and yes i know they're old so no need to pick on me about them like everyone else does lol)
Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Processor/CPU : Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
Video Card/GPU : AMD Radeon HD 6800
Memory/RAM : 8GB
And finally to Red Buzzy Beetle... lol, well it got people's attention didn't it and therefore some replies

That's the problem. Dolphin won't scan and connect automatically if you're not using Microsoft BT stack. Basically, you need to connect your Wiimotes from the CSR stack you've installed and then start/hit refresh in Dolphin. Also, keep in mind that if you have a -TR wiimote it'll only work with Toshiba BT stack...

Thanks for replying
Ok firstly "Basically, you need to connect your Wiimotes from the CSR stack you've installed and then start/hit refresh in Dolphin" No idea what that means. Lol, could you please explain that again as if you were explaining it to a 5 year old in the most simplest terms? Thanks.
and 2. Where you say "-TR Wiimote" you mean the original white one, correct? If so then yes i already knew Dolphin only works with the white one... because it's racist!!! :O

You said your BT adapter came with a CD with drivers and programs, you should pair your Wiimote using that program, then open Dolphin.

That's not true. Dolphin works with all variants of Wiimotes (as long as they are genuine). The issue is with the newer ones (-TR Wiimotes) in Windows, where they can be paired only with Toshiba BT stack or with MayFlash Dolphin Bar. In Linux and Mac all variants works fine without additional software.

I think i know what you mean now but everytime i try to pair my wiimote it asks me for that bastard god-damn "pairing code" which no combination will make work. I googled it and it said either just skip it (well i can't because the "next" button won't come up till you've entered something in) or just use 0000 or 1234. Both of those do nothing! Suggestions? Oh and how can i tell if my wiimote is -TR?
If it won't let you skip it, then your current bluetooth stack won't work with Wiimotes. There's probably some way to make the Microsoft stack work with your adapter or, if it turns out you've got a TR Wiimote, the Toshiba stack instead.
