Dolphin Bar BT working but IR not - cptjackt - 12-31-2016
Hello everyone,
First post, but I want to say that 5.0 was a HUGE improvement and a great emulator.
Seriously, great work. Thank you.
But anyway, one of the issues I am running into is getting my Dolphin Bar to work properly.
Right now, the connectivity to my PC and WiiMote looks good, and games like mario kart and DKC work fine.
However, when the IR comes into play (Super Mario Galaxy for example), the cursor doesn't show up anywhere.
I've attached a screenshot of my controller settings if thats any help.
Also, I should note that I use a USB 3.0 extension cord from the Dolphin Bar to the PC, as you know the standard cable isn't that long.
Although I tried connecting it directly, but that didn't seem to fix anything (although I didn't test it too hard).
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this issue, and is there any way I can fix it?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
In the hopes that it can help, I wanted to let you know two other pieces of potentially relevent info:
1. All my WiiMotes have the motion plus built in (I think that's the -TR model?)
2. I have the most current firmware for the dolphin bar (according to the Mayfair updater)
Thanks again for any help you can provide.

How close are to the bar? Have you check if the LEDs are working?

With a remote currently connected, both the 0 and 4 LEDs are lit up.
I also cycled through mode and 1-3 light up as well when selected.
And I just measured, and my remote was around 8ft from the sensor bar.
Both Dolphin and the bar are set to "Top", and literally everything is working but the cursor functions.
Thanks Dude.

Sorry, I meant the IR LEDs

Is there a recommended way for doing that?

Take a picture (unless your camera blocks IR light).

Attached is the IR LEDs from my bar, and it does look like the IR sensors are bad, so I'm just gonna buy a new one.
Thank you so much for your help.
At least now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

It looks like there is only 1 light there, there should be 10 I think, looks like they might have all burned out? (not sure if that many would burn out at once)
