Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I have two BT dongles, both of which are supported in the Wiki:

• IOGear GBU521
• Kinivo BTD-400
  

Granted, both are labeled as orange so they won't work perfectly. However, they should at least WORK, right?

Both dongles give me the LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED alert when I try to start a game n(any game, I've tried all of the ones in my library). I've used Zadig to apply both libusbk AND winusb drivers as well as updated my dolphin.ini file to force use of the dongles. No matter what, I get the error.

I searched the forum and found this thread where someone had a similar problem as me. The solution they found was to use a different USB port on their system, but I tried that too; no luck.

Is there anything else I can try? I could buy one of the dongles that is green across the board, but I should be able to at least get one of these to work once, if only temporarily, right?

Both those adapters are based on BCM20702 and, like noted on the "Works?" column for both models, they must be forced in order to work with Bluetooth Passthrough...

Yes, I am aware. I mentioned that in my post...

Please show us the [BluetoothPassthrough] section from your Dolphin.ini file. A log file from the moment you open Dolphin until the moment you get the LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED would help too...

Here is the relevant section of my .ini file:


That is for the IOGear GBU521.

Here is the log from opening Dolphin to attempting to play a game:

Your INI file seems OK, but your log is missing crucial information to troubleshoot this. Make sure you've selected "Info" verbosity and that MASTER, COMMON and all IOS log types are enabled (you can do that on View => Show Log Configuration), then boot a game and show us the resulting log...

Here you go:

Something is wrong. Dolphin didn't even try to access the BT Adapter. Are you sure you have correctly installed libusbK driver to the adapter with Zadig? If you're sure, try a clean Dolphin build and see if it works: download the latest development version, extract it to a different folder and create an empty text file named "portable.txt" inside it. Run Dolphin and don't change anything besides enabling BT Passthrough mode on Controller Settings (don't forget to add the VID/PID on Dolphin.ini inside the User subfolder -- that's because you have one of the adapters that must be forced), then boot any Wii game. Does it work?

OK, I gave your suggestion a shot and it worked. The only answer then is that my version of Dolphin is the problem (latest Beta) or that some sort of setting is blocking Bluetooth, right? Any suggestions?

Beta version is identical to the development version with the same number, it's just updated less frequently, so that's unlikely. It's probably something wrong with your settings, so I suggest you start clean. You can do that on your main install by deleting everything inside This Computer => Documents => Dolphin Emulator except for the GC and Wii subfolders, which holds the save data, DLC and such for your GameCube and Wii games...
