Dolphin Bar, part Duex: Please Point Conbtroller - Mbrett - 12-13-2016

OK, I installed Dolphinbar today. I tried it with two official Nintendo Wiimotes +. When I fired up 'Super Mario Galaxy' with both, I get the message , 'Please point your controller at screen'. My controllers were pointed at screen. The Dolphinbar & Wiimotes all reflect that they are successfully paired. When I open game, my Wiimotes vibrate. I have tried placing the Dolphinbar on top and bottom. Stuck at Please point your controller every time.

Can it be the size of my screen? I'm using the Dolphinbar under a 100" screen. I'm sure it's a simple solution, but, for the life of me I can't figure it out, and have had no luck Googling the matter.

You need a sensor bar.

I have a Dolphibar installed.

What is the distance between the Wii Remote and the DolphinBar?

My TV is 65 inches

In my case, I would have to play very close to the dolphinbar, totally inoperative. 

I tested it with several sensor bars. It's very frustrating

It may sound ridiculous, but it works correctly if you use two candles separated from each other about 20-30 centimeters

The candles is an infrared source

Distance was eight feet. I could move closer.

[color=#000000]Do I just put candles where Dolphinbar LCDs are currently (right below middle of screen). What is best position?

In my case, the dolphinbar only use it to recognize the wiimotes


Correct, the candles you have to put them in the position of the dolphinbar

With the help of another person, separating the candles about 20 centimeters, use the wiimote

The other person who helps you could approach or separate the candles to check the range and efficiency wiimote, while you move the wiimote

Be very careful with the fire

If you use the sensor bar, you have to move to the bar until it works


In my case I had to stand about 2 feet, and it is totally impossible to play at that distance

Sorry for my english
