No devices listed on emulator - macbrew - 07-14-2014

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been asked before but couldn't find this on your forum.

I'm trying to set up a Wiimote Emulator on my laptop for keyboard/trackpad inputs.
The game running doesn't respond to anything, which I think's because there's nothing selected under "Device". On the drop down list for devices, there's nothing, just blanks.

How can I get the program to recognise my keyboard/trackpad? Have I just missed a trick?

It's worth mentioning that this laptop is actually a laptop/tablet hybrid, where the tablet unplugs from the keyboard base and functions separately. However, the tablet always has a keyboard listed as installed device, whether it's plugged in or not, so not sure why it would cause this problem (assuming that is what is causing it).

Many thanks,

I am currently having the same issue. When i go to any of the controller configs there are no devices listed, it's all just blank. I am running the latest dev version of dolphin. I am not using the same computer type, I am on an intel laptop running windows 8.1
If anyone has a solution for me that would be great.
I havent been able to play anything since downloading dolphin
