[SOLVED][Linux][Wii] guitar doesn't work - efemache - 03-15-2016
Hello,
I'm using Linux (Debian testing x64) with the latest code from github (4.0-9124).
I can start any Guitar Hero games (Metallica, Greatest Hits, World Tour, Warriors of Rock), but if I try it with a Nintendo Wii remote (motion plus inside) and the guitar from Guitar Hero 3, I have the same problem :
every button works ('+', '-', the analog stick, ...) except the fret buttons (green, red, yellow, ...).
Any idea ?
I don't know if it's a bug but I'm pretty sure it doesn't come from my guitar because I tried 2 guitars.
Thanks

I know you said you tried two guitars, but I'd check them again if possible. The GH3 guitars were notorious for having bad/misaligned connectors with the detachable necks, meaning that the fret buttons wouldn't work unless you got it just right. I had several friends with Wii guitar controllers, and I've never seen a single one that didn't have this problem. Maybe this is a Dolphin issue, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if this was just a case of your guitars acting finicky.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
My guitars worked on my wii (which is dead); that's why I suppose it's a Dolphin issue.
Did somebody try a guitar with dolphin on Linux with a Wii motion plus ?
Or is there a debugger (or something else) in Dolphin to see input ?

I can get a guitar and see if it works on Windows at least. There shouldn't be a difference.

If somebody can confirm the problem with Linux.

There are some known problems when connecting a Wiimote using the Windows 7 Bluetooth stack. Did you try the toshiba one?

Hi,
No, that's why I put the link (to show the problem) but I don't have a "better" bluetooth module compatible with the wii remote plus for Windows.
I'm using Linux (99.99% of the time), so I'm not buying a toshiba controler, for Windows, just to try the guitar

Hi,
I tried recently with the 4.0-9354 build and it's working on Linux with one of my guitar (the other one is dead I suppose).
I tried with Windows and it's the same thing (one doesn't work).
It's working with my regular wiimote and my wiimote plus.
