Unable to connect Wiimote - cmpuncle - 06-12-2019
So I'm having trouble connecting a WiiMote, I can get it to connect through the Windows bluetooth manager, but from another thread I read through thats not how you do it, you're supposed to be able to sync directly through Dolphin using continuous scanning. However to do this I have to have WII bluetooth emulation going which means I can't use the sync button like the thread suggested. So when I switch to passthrough bluetooth in order to use the sync button it says it has to be done in game, so I start up a game, it gives me "Failed to open Bluetooth Device: LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED", and is unable to detect a device. I'm kinda at a loss at this point......

Using Bluetooth passthrough requires some driver setup, otherwise you'll get that error message. Do you specifically want to use Bluetooth passthrough, or is emulated Bluetooth + real Wii Remotes fine?

Honestly however I can get it to work is fine.

So following the bluetooth passthrough guide I found, I downloaded Zadig and installed the libusbk driver, now the wiimote seems to connect to Dolphin, but no commands from the wiimote are being accepted......

I just made a thread with a similar issue. The Wiimote goes to devices and printers but its greyed out and when I open dolphin it disconnects and I got to start all over again. Synching directly through dolphin it won't even get recognized.
