Wiimote disconnects when batteries out question - Ryze82 - 04-03-2012
Hey all, I've just recently started playing with the dolphin
I have just one question:
While I was playing my wiimote died because of the batteries died...
But I did not get any windows like some games, "Your wiimote has been disconnected" or whatever, the game just kept on playing and I couldn't do anything.
I changed the batteries and it wouldn't reconnect, the game was still "playing".. The only thing I could do is restarting dolphin.. I pressed the refresh in the wiimote menu.
Is there a way to avoid this? I know about the alt+f5 if you get the "communcations has been interupted" window comes up..
I mean it sucks if I have not saved in a while...
Thanks

you need to re-install your wiimote each time you turn off your wiimote or your pc. then you can refresh your wiimotes in dolphin and use the ingame hotkey to connect it.

You mean the add bluetooth device? in the controll panel? and is the ingame hotkey to connect it the ALT+F5?

No, just press "Pair up" and after press "Refresh" in the Wiimote configuration. then, the wiimote is connected.
And you're right, the ingame hotkey for connecting a wiimote is ALT+F5.

Hmm okay, thats what I actually did... and the wiimotes first blue led was lit aswell.... but I still could not move my character at all... Maybe it was a bug? Or maybe just the game? It was Kirbys epic yarn..
