How to use Wii Mote pointer to appear on PC - gamerlingual - 10-12-2016

I wanted to show the pictures of where I am stuck on and using dolphon 3.5. My bluetooh is 4.0 Socket M.2. I have the Gold WiiMote Plus along with the Nunchuk and I can't get passed this screen. Can anyone suggest please how to get the finger pointer cursor to pop up? It's all I need in order to play the game. Am I missing anything or do I need the 5.0 version of Dolphin? I heard 3.5 is the only version that is compatible with the Wii Motion feature.  I tried searching the forums but there's too much info to find. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help.

We don't support anything older than 5.0, there is no reason to not use it.

I used 5.0 and the same also happened despite the calibrations.

Here are the attachments for the 5.0. Same error. Any ideas, please?

Hi Gamerlingual, these are just a few ideas to help you fault find.

Have you got your sensor bar powered on and does your Wiimote have a direct line of sight to it or two other sources of IR light? If so, how far away are you sitting from it? Is your room lit brightly by sunlight? If you are sitting far away you may need to adjust the sensitivity settings like you would on a real wii. Is the camera lens clean on the Wiimote? Does your wiimote work properly with your wii?

Good luck.

Ah I need a sensor bar... Dang. Thought It would work without it. Welp, better get that Dolphin Sensor Bar. To answer your other questions, the PC is in front of me, a laptop. My room is brightly lit from the room light. Thank you for the update and pardon my ignorance.

No problems mate, glad to help.

By the way, you will probably better off using a version of dolphin 5.0 or newer.

Happy gaming!
