Does "Sync Button" in hotkey settings mean "Refresh" in Wiimote window? - yeh - 10-29-2018

Hello,

I am curious about whether "Sync Button" in hotkey settings means "Refresh" in Wiimote configuration window.

Nope! The Sync hotkey engages Bluetooth Passthrough's Sync button. Without Bluetooth Passthrough, the hotkey does nothing.

Oops, I thought the Sync hotkey = Refresh in Wiimote window = the Sync button on the Wii console.

So is there a button on Dolphin equivalent to the Sync button on the Wii console? (I thought it was "Refresh" in Wiimote window.)

...Yes, it's the Sync button in Bluetooth Passthrough. Only Bluetooth Passthrough is capable of syncing with Wii Remotes. Our Emulated Bluetooth Adapter system is incapable of syncing; it only connects with Wii Remotes temporarily. "Refresh" causes the Emulated Bluetooth Adapter to look for Wii Remotes to establish that temporary connection. It does not Sync.

Of course you have Continuous Scanning enabled, so as long as the Controllers window or a Wii game is running, Dolphin is always looking for Wii Remotes to temporarily connect to. You don't need to press Refresh at all!

Thank you.

The Sync hotkey = Bluetooth Passthrough's Sync button = the Sync button on the Wii console.
The "refresh" is used for looking for Wii Remotes to establish temporary connection rather than sync.

Have I understood it correctly?

But I have a question: if we don't use the Sync hotkey, is there any other way to sync with Wii Remotes on the Bluetooth Passthrough mode? (For example, click some button on Dolphin.)
