Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

So I recently started having issues with the wii remote not connecting to dolphin and cannot figure out the issue. Dolphin is set to always scan and whenever I press 1+2, it wont connect however in the Windows Device and Printers, I see that the controller shows up and then disappears which should indicate a connection attempt was made. To clarify, I am not trying to connect via the bluetooth settings on Windows, I only have it on to see if it even recognizes the controller.

I had this issue before and I did something that somehow made it work but I cannot recreate that so I was hoping if I could get some help with this if anyone has ever been on the same boat as me.
