mac osx yosemite beta - synch issue - d8thstar - 09-27-2014
hi all,
recently got back into dolphin and am having some controller issues. i have tried both an old wiimote with and without the motion plus along with a brand new TR wiimote.
i am having issues connecting the controllers to my mac (running yosemite beta). when trying to connect to the mac, it is asking for a passkey which i don't know.
when running dolphin, i can connect any controller i have but i have to dos with the red synch button which is a bit awkward. if i try the 1+2 buttons, i get the pop window asking for a passkey.
anyone have any thoughts for me to help streamline the synching?
thanks

I have the same config, except that I'm on Yosemite 10.10.1.
First of all, turn OSX Bluetooth ON. Then open Dolphin's Controller preferences, select "Real Wiimote" as the first Controller (or whichever port you like).
1) Press the RED Sync button on the back of your TR Wiimote.
2) Press "Refresh" on Dolphin's "Real Wiimotes" section of the Controller preferences repeatedly every 1 - 2 seconds.
3) At some point it will seem that Dolphin is trying to Sync with your Wiimote, but this step does not always work straightaway.
4) If your Wiimote has not vibrated, press the Bluetooth icon on your Mac's status bar and press "Disconnect" from the TR Wiimote entry.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 until your Wiimote vibrates and the "1" indicator on the Wiimote is ON.
I usually get to Sync my TR Wiimote on the 2nd or 3rd try of the steps above.
I really hope this works for everybody, despite that everyone is saying that there's a big problem with TR Wiimotes.
Here's a video proof on YouTube for this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuqYLx5A_9M&feature=youtu.be
