[ArchLinux] Trying to get my Wiimote -TR to sync - Kamek - 09-16-2014
Hi !
I have one of those Wiimotes labeled as RVL-CNT-01-TR.
If I understand correctly, -TR Wiimotes are now supported out of the box in Linux.
I can get mine to sync to Arch (I'm using KDE and BlueDevil), but not to Dolphin, I must be doing something wrong and I can't figure out what.
I need to mention that I got it to work using Windows and the Toshiba stack a few years back (same controller, same BlueTooth chip, same machine).
I tried to enable/disable the bluetooth service, enable hci0 if the bluetooth service is disabled, no luck.
I tried to press 1+2, then the red "sync" button of the controller but dolphin doesn't pick it up.
Any ideas ?
Also, relevant :

I don't know how it works on Linux exactly, but um, don't pair it at all with the operating system. OS pairing can get in the way of Dolphin pairing. Instead, just press refresh in Dolphin then the sync button on the bottom of the controller. But again, I'm not sure since I haven't tried it on linux before soooo...

I just tried that (again) : no OS pairing, sync only in Dolphin.
I also tried doing this while running Dolphin as root, still no luck.
No one else seems to have that problem though, I wonder what it is I'm doing wrong
