GameCube works perfectly, Wii closes window instantly. Please help! - Banjaroo - 04-26-2019
Hi guys, I'm a total greengrass so you'll have to bear with me...
I can't get any Wii or Wiiware games to run in Dolphin (5.0 but tried earlier versions with same results). The game window briefly appears when I click PLAY but instantly shuts down. I don't have this issue with GameCube, it works perfectly. I'm running on a Hades Canyon i7 8th gen with Radeon RX Vega M GH and 32Gb RAM so there should be no problem there.
The log is blank (as I said before, I'm a noob so there is maybe a setting to change to activate logging?), however, when I run the emu under HyperSpin (still doesn't work with Wii, obv. but GameCube works perfectly) I get the error shown in the image below.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Are you using Bluetooth Passthrough without a configured bluetooth adapter?

Do you mean for Wiimotes?
No, I haven't attached any Wiimotes. It's configured to work with a wired X360 pad.
The bluetooth is build into the NUC and latest drivers installed.
...do you think it's a bluetooth issue?

If you've enabled Bluetooth Passthrough in Dolphin, and there's no bluetooth adapter (and you have panic handlers disabled) this is the behavior you'd see of the Wii game instantly closing because there's no bluetooth. Switch to emulated bluetooth.

Thank you JMC47. I will take a look when I get home this evening and report back either way.

Okay, the emulate bluetooth option was already checked. I tried unchecking but got the same problem. Obviously, it must be an issue exclusive to Wii as GameCube works perfectly. I'm totally confused. Any help will be massively appreciated.
