Dolphin wiimote connect problem - theswaggypoatao - 12-28-2015

Hi, so I have a problem with the bluetooth connection from my wiimote to dolphin. I'm on a 13 inch macbook pro, retina, abt. mid 2014 – more info available if required. Whenever i try to connect to dolphin all i get are 4 blinking lights, nothing more. Tried to bluetooth connect/disconnect wiimote from computer (not dolphin) – no luck. Do i need to have a sensor bar or something? is it a mac OS problem? (btw this a normal wiimote not a wiimote plus so that's not it) Any help is welcome. 
Thanks

I spent 4 hours trying to pair mine up a few days back on my mbp retina, I eventually got it... can't really remember how. I connected it through bluetooth in dolphin, I think I used an earlier build. I know this isn't much help, just to say it does work once you figure out how. you don't need a sensor to pair the wiimote btw

Well I'm glad to hear it works but any idea why it doesn't connect?
