Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi all.

Previously, I've had no problems with Dolphin connecting to my Wiimote. Now, all of the sudden, it doesn't work?



It spouts out the error at the end every time I try to start a game. This instance was LOZ Skyward Sword.

Alright, cool. 
So I went ahead and downloaded the latest development build (version 5.0-9567-x64), and this is what it tells me.



What's going on? It works once, and now it doesn't. 
Is it because my adapter is Bluetooth 4.2 or something, or that I got it cheaply? 

Are you using bt passthrough?

Check libusbk installation or reinstall libusbk or usbdk.

If that doesnt work, maybe you need to set manually the adapter id on Dolphin ini.

Thank you for that. I didn't know I had to install that, sorry.
Works fine now. Just gotta buy a USB sensor bar now.

Great. Thanks for reporting back.

I have a simmilar problem maybe you can help me too and i don't need to open a new Thread.
I use BT Passthrough with the SENA UD100 Stick from the wiki compatibility list and it works great, with one exception.
When i install the libusbk drivers WITHOUT USBDK Librarys, i get the same Warning every time i start a Wii game (Failed to open Bluetooth device: LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED). But the games and Wiimotes work great.
Now, IF i install the USBDK Librarys, the Warning doesn't appear anymore. But then the Wiimotes work only every secong gamestart. Even restarting Dolphin doesn't help. I am forced to start and close a Wii game, so it works when i start it the second time.
I have to mention, that everytime it's working and i close the game, i get the typical "unplug" Windowssound. The next time, when it's not working and i close the game, there is no "unplug" sound.
Sorry for the bad english. I hope you have any helpfull ideas for me too.
Thank you in advance.

[EDIT]
I was wondering and tried different combinations of drivers with and without USBDK Librarys installed.
Result: No matter what drivers i install (libusbk / libusb-win32 /WinUSB), if i have the USBDK Library installed, the LIBUSB Warning dissapears but the Bluetooth stick works only every second Gamestart.

Best combo is get rid of usbdk and install winusb with zadig.

Its not easy to get rid of usbdk, check if you really uninstall it.

Did i miss something? The USBDK Library was easy to uninstall. Just opened Windows Settings/Apps and there i could uninstall it.
Does it leave something after uninstallation? And if so, what have i to do?

Lbnl, won't this still give me the LIBUSB_ERROR? Like mentinoed earlier, the USBDK Library is the part that get's rid of it, but leaves me with an Bluetooth adapter that works only every 2. time i start a game.
Wouldn't it be better to find out why USBDK Library makes the BT adapter work only sporadically?
Just questions... hit me with answers if you can...Thanks

usbdk leaves traces of the driver behind that can cause all sorts of problems. There are instructions here to fully uninstall it.

Ok, the last times i uninstalled it through Windows settings/Apps like mentioned in your link. This time i did the second thing in the link:
2.Another way to Uninstall UsbDk is using UsbDkController as follows:
2.1. Locate UsbDkController.exe, it should reside in "c:\Program Files\UsbDk Runtime Library\".
2.2. Run UsbDkController.exe with -u flag.
And i noticed there is still the USBDK Runtime Library folder left after uninstall, with few files in it.

I also used DriverStoreExplorer to get rid of the old drivers inside of windows 10.

But still, everything like before.
USBDK installed = no LIBUSB_Error but adapter works only every second try
USBDK not installed = LIBUSB_ERROR but adapter works great.

I was hoping that would help but usbk is quite a pain in the ass. I'm not sure where to go from there.
One more thing to try would be the instructions in the Dolphin Wiki BT Passthrough page for forcing a specific BT adapter.
