Bluetooth requirements for wii controls ? - Silithas - 06-13-2013

Hey, i am today going to buy myself a wii to catch up to some good old wii games, but im also going to use the wii's sensor and controllers for dolphin.

So here is my question:

Will this bluetooth 2.1 dongle work with the controllers? or does it have to be a normal size and not a nano dongle?

mini dongle will not work well with multi-wiimotes due to poor bandwidth , you have to sacrifice performance for the super small form factor
If you only use 1 wiimote , that mini dongle may work fine
Though ... If I was you , I would get this one instead

There's no guarantee a certain BT dongle will work with your wiimote , you have to rely on your luck

Nano dongles work just fine. Mine is a nano dongle too.

This dongle should work

Ok, i do now got my wii set up and connected the bluetooth dongle, but the problem is that no matter how much i try the bluetooth thingy on my pc just wont discover the control! Sad

What is wrong here?

Or the wiimote has kinda been found but it installs itself every time i try to pair it up with dolphin... why wont it pair up?

Try Toshiba stack (I suppose you're using Microsoft stack)

Thanks Smile Downloaded the 64bit driver from tpb and now it responded on the second^^

But one other question, how can i calibrate the sensor location? cause i have to hold the controller 20 degree to the left to get the rectile in the middle :S same with up (i keep my wii on to hold the sensor on)

You don't have to do that
Just modify your sensor bar . It's not that hard

Did you perfectly align your sensor bar with your screen? If so try to play farther from your screen, or closer
