Third Party WiiMote & DolphinBar Questions - errero - 08-16-2015

Hi guys!

I like so much Zelda's games and other Nintendo's classic games so I decided to look for a way to emulate wii on my PC. I found Dolphin emulator and I tried it. I could play Game Cube's games without problems with my xbox 360 controller but when I tried some Wii's games I saw that I need wiimote with wiimotionplus.

I investigated and I read about DolphinBar like a very good option to use the wiimotes with PC. I bought DolphinBar and a thirdparty wiimote on amazon.

Today, I've recieved all and I've installed and updated DolphinBar. First problem is this message shown by Dolphin Emu:

This is normal or I have to do something??

The second problem is my game (Zelda The Skyward Sword) don't recognize my wiimote. I can sync it with DolphinBar and when I start the emu the wiimote rumbles but the game says that connection with wiimote is lost. So, after read something I think than the problem would be that is a third party wiimote and not nintendo's original. If I buy a nintendo's wiimote it will work with dolphin emu and DoplhinBar? I have to spend 60€ (66,66$) so is important for me to know if i won't have problems with it.

Thank you much for your help.

P.S.: I'm Spanish so sorry if my English is not so good. If you don't understand something, please tell me.

But, if I bought a nintendo's wiimote, would it work with DoplhinBar and Dolphin 4.0-7320?


RE: Third Party WiiMote & DolphinBar Questions - NKF98 - 08-17-2015

yes, it would

I also haven't been able to use the Dolphinbar with a Nintendo official Wiimote+Nunchuk. I actually updated to Dolphin 4.0-7320 like NKF98 suggested, but Dolphin still won't recognize the bar.

I have it set on Mode 3 and Windows 10 is detecting the controller fine, it even lets me calibrate it and what not. But the emulator keeps displaying that error message posted by the OP.

You should be using mode 4 for Dolphin, this allows the emulator & games to interact with the wiimote as if it was connected to Wii. Mode 3 "converts" the wiimote into a DInput device (ie. a normal PC gamepad).

So, today a friend has borrowed me a Nintendo's Wiimote and it works perfect with DolphinBar and Dolphin Emu 4.0-7320 in mode 4. And, some strange, third party nunchuku works fine with Nintendo's Wiimote.

The nunchuck isn't a surprise, it doesn't need to connect to the computer XD

Mode 4 doesn't work either, emulator keeps displaying the same error.
