Disabling the wiimote plugin from command line or config file - ShadowWraith - 01-13-2011

Due to the trouble I had with getting JIT to work in Ubuntu 10.04:
http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=14373
I decided to run Dolphin from wine. The wiimote plugin does not work, but I thought
this isn't a problem since I'm running only gamecube games.

However, the (lack of the) plugin causes crashes in dolphin stable version 2.0
and the current svn does not even start because
Code:
err:module:import_dll Library bthprops.cpl (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\david\\Downloads\\New_Downloads\\Win32 (2)\\Dolphin.exe") not found

Is there a way to disable the wiimote plugin from the command line or a config file,
so I can disable this, or is there a way to make it work under Wine?

Check your win installation to see if you have bthprops.cpl which is the bluetooth control panel applet.

Thanks, but I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and trying to run Dolphin under wine. I have no idea how to get wine to run Windows bluetooth services. (Google's not being very helpful Tongue)
Could you tell me how to do that?

EDIT:
I got the file from a Windows install - so a better question - do you know where to put it in .wine?

Sorry it's been years since I used wine. The best I remember back then wine used a win partition to run apps. That may not be the case anymore.[/align]
bthprops.cpl should be in x:\windows\system32 under win if that helps..

Problem solved!

To bypass this problem (I don't know whether it'll actually get the wiimote working in wine, since I don't have one) I got both bthprops.cpl and devmgr.dll (which apparently was required for bthprops) from my windows xp install and just dumped them right into
Dolphin's folder. Gamecube games seem to run with no problems. I'm using r6818

Thanks for the help kickstand!
