Cannot get passthrough to work. - shambles1980 - 04-07-2019
Hi, i soldered up a wii BT adapter with a buck converter.
and i use a wirless sensor bar.
this works perfectly fine as a blue tooth adapter.
but when i use zadig to edit the driver i can not use it at all in windows. and dolphin says "controler 1 disconected" or similar.
I then have to use system restore to get the BT adapter to work again, and have regressed to using Touchmote..
I chose to solder up my own adapter because it said it had perfect compatibility with pass through.. but i just cannot get it to work.
Without the lib driver i can use the wii mote in dolphin using the emulated wii mote option.
i dont think its importaint at all. but when i have the lib drivers installed the system sees the blue tooth adapter and its fully installed but windows does not have an option to turn on blue tooth.

You need to change from emulated to real bt on dolphin controllers settings.
When you use zadig, adapter wont be visible on windows anymore.
If you want to restore, could you just go to devices admin, look for a libusbk (or whatever driver you used from zadig) entry and just select uninstall driver. Then windows will recognize it again as a bt adapter, but you cant use passthrough if windows see it as a normal bt adapter.

I dont use Emulated when i use pass through. but it just always says "wii mote controller 1 disconnected" or similar..
I then have to delete all the profiles when i change back to using the emulated ones after i restore the BT adapter..
(thinking about it now i dont remember if i deleted the profiles after switching to passthrough possibly could be the issue.)
I will just stick to touchmote for a few days. as i wont have the time to tinker for a few days any way.

You sure you changed this to passthroug a bt adapter?
After this you have to sync wiimote while a game is running, using the sync button there and the sync biutton on wiimote.

Weird. Looks like is stuck on emulated mode.
Try a clean Dolphin, you can create a portable.txt empty file on Dolphin folder to make it portable and do some testing.
And use latest dev build.

i eventually just re made the bt adapter (im blaming the buck converter) although honestly it worked just fin with windows drivers.
any way after a fresh install and re making the adapter it works.
