Wiimote was working for weeks but has stopped working now - peeman - 08-19-2009
Hi all,
I have been using a Wiimote with an MSI pc2pc bluetooth dongle to connect to Dolphin and play Wii games. This has been working ok for weeks, but now has stopped work, i.e. when i load upi dolphin and click on the wiimote config options, it reconises it, but when i go in game, the lights go off on the wiimote and the bottom left hand corner of dolphin stays in "Connecting..."
Any ideas why you think it would stop working all of a sudden after weeks of successful gaming with it?
I've tried every single build you can think of, (all 64 bit versions, as i'm using Windows 7 x64).
But the frustrating thing is that it's been working without any issues for ages.

Hi guy's sorry for the delay in replying back, had a few activation issues with vista since i installed Windows 7 :-(.
Well a big thank you to all, as i have now figured the problem:
If i put my bluetooth adapter direct in a usb port, (not the 4 port hub i was using), and took the batteries out and put the same ones back in, it WORKS :-)
Then i had a play around with GlovePIE and found the problem came back, but pulling the batteries out and putting them back in sorted the problem again.
So it wasn't i needed new batteries, just needed to force a hard reset on the wiimote by taking the batteries out and putting them back in.
So again thank you all for leading me to the right solution. :-)
