Hey guys wondering about a ghetto sensor bar solution - Murchyman - 11-27-2016

Hi guys i'm buying some stuff to get into wii emulation and was wondering if it's possible to skip out on the dolphin bar by modifying an existing sensor bar? Additionally what are the chances that this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-USB-2-0-Bluetooth-Dongle-Wireless-Adapter-For-PC-Laptop-Notebook-Win-7-8-XP-/291731630078?hash=item43ec8f67fe:g:tqYAAOSwsN9XBlFt is legit and do you guys have any ultra cheapo Bluetooth adaptor links?

thanks, Murchyman

Absolutely. Any sensor bar will work as long as it's getting power from somewhere. Modifying an official one is possible, or you can buy a third-party one that's powered through USB or batteries. Just keep in mind that you don't need a separate Bluetooth adapter when using a DolphinBar but do need one if you don't have a DolphinBar.

Not all BT dongle work with Dolphin . So you should by tons of 'em and try one by one . If that one didn't work , the shipping fee would go to waste
iclever IN-8510-40 is the one I'm using right now . I bought it on amazon.co.jp , it's not cheap though
