Finally.. - Xtreme2damax - 05-14-2009
I just received my new Bluetooth dongle in the mail today, my Wiimote pairs with it without any issues.
Cost me 0.01 cent on Amazon, the real cost was the shipping and handling for $4.95..
I ordered a Bluetooth dongle a couple months ago, it was a cheap Chinese knockoff that was unlicensed, and I couldn't get anything to pair with it no matter what I tried.
An indicator the last dongle I had was unlicensed, was when I had it plugged in and Bluesoleil installed it kept reporting the dongles mac address as 11:11:11:11:11:11
I contacted the seller to inform them the dongle they were selling was unlicensed and a knockoff, he/they must of got scared because they refunded all my money and let me keep the dongle.
The person sounded like he/she/they could barely speak any English.
So without further delay, I'm off to test some Wii games in Dolphin with my new dongle and my Wiimote.
I thought this might be a nice thread to post as a small story.

I just purchased a wireless sensor bar today off of Amazon for $5 + S&H..
Should come in handy for both my Wii and Dolphin.
RE: Finally.. - LuisR14 - 05-17-2009
how much S&H?
RE: Finally.. - Xtreme2damax - 05-18-2009
I think $3.99 or $4.99 Shipping & Handling, still much cheaper than getting it retail.

Good luck....the Wii Remote works well with a lot of games.
But there are a certain few games that I've never been able to get to work with the Wii Remote / Nunchuck no matter what I do and no matter what revision I use:
Endless Ocean
Naruto 2
Super Mario Party 8
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing

Good deal, really. Hope you'll get a lot of games to work
I've got like 20 games and they work.

I got tired of waiting for it to arrive in the mail, so I bought a new wireless sensor bar and decided to give my parents the one coming in the mail.
It's a Nyko wireless sensor bar and it works wonderfully, I was playing Sonic Unleashed, what I could play of Super Mario Galaxy, Game Party for the Wii.
For some reason I can't get my Wiimote to automatically pair with my bluetooth dongle, I have to keep adding or installing the device each time I want to pair it, it is also a nightmare to pair on the PC if my Wii is turned on.

Yeah u have to do that every time....i asked the same thing when i first got mine set up wondering if that's jsut the way it was. It's a pain but it's the only way. You have to add it everytime.
