Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I have a alienware m15x laptop with built-in bluetooth, do i need a IR sensor bar for my wiimote to work properly on my computer?

yes. Lucky you don't need a bluetooth adapter. I have to go buy one tomorrow

no you need a sensorbar (shame on extreme for confusing ya xD)

o i read wrong
does the wii sensor bar use a firewire connection?

This should explain things a little better.

Hey, man, for a first time set up on the table behind the monitor two candles. When you will start the emulator, move the candles left-right, and you will see that the pointer will be move along the wiimote! I've tested this already on RE Umbrella Chronicles, it really works!!! rev. r4586. Good Luck! Now I go to get a full enjoy of the this game!

.....yea but can the sensor bar be plugged into the firewire port on my laptop?

no it doesn't have to be plugged in , just as long as the wiimote sees some infrared light (which fire gives out )

so i can just place the regular unplugged wii sensor bar on my laptop and play?

no it needs some kind of powersource.. Most people buy ones powered on batteries
