Wiimote (RVL-CNT-01-TR) stops responding during gameplay, refuses to reconnect - AutoFire - 10-27-2021
As the title says, I am using a RVL-CNT-01-TR Wii Remote Plus, and the thing constantly stops responding while I'm playing, and then refuses to reconnect to Dolphin unless I reboot the entire OS. This has been happening under both Windows 10 and Manjaro. I assume the two operating systems are conflicting with each other somehow. Is there any way to resolve this?
EDIT: I am using the emulated Wii Bluetooth adapter with "Connect Wii Remotes for Emulated Controllers" enabled on both systems.
EDIT 2 DARK EDIT: I found the problem; the Bluetooth transceiver I was using (Asus BT400) was to blame. Unplugging and replugging the transceiver fixed the issue. Any recommendations on a good BT adapter to replace it, if it comes to that?

There is a list of tested adapters here if you are wanting to use bluetooth passthrough:

I actually had the UGREEN adapter sitting on my desk (for some reason, it just wouldn't work with bluetooth passthrough even though the list says it should), so I swapped it with the Asus adapter, and boy did it make a difference. It's a much more stable connection, and I have much more precise control over the Wiimote pointer in Emulated Bluetooth mode (which may be one of the best things about Dolphin; playing Metroid Prime 3 with no sensor bar? Awesome)
