Power off real Wii Remotes during emulation exit (optional) and closing Dolphin
0%
Description
Dolphin doesn't power off real Wii remotes when exiting emulation or closing Dolphin. This can cause the batteries to be unnecessarily drained. I suggest two changes:
Add an option to power off real Wii remotes when exiting emulation (Default OFF). I assume most people will want the Wii Remotes to stay connected when switching between games in the game list but this option could prevent people from quickly ending emulation and draining their battery.
Power off Wii remotes when exiting Dolphin. I don't see any reason to make this optional, but if people want it to be optional it should be defaulted to ON.

Doesn't Dolphin already do this? You need to provide additional information such as what you are using to connect your wiimotes (bluetooth passthrough, dolphin bar, etc).

In emulated bluetooth I'm pretty sure it was determined we can't. In bluetooth passthrough we already do.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Dolphin doesn't have the ability to disconnect the bluetooth in emulated mode device since it's being handled by the bluetooth stack.

Note that Dolphin can do it if you're connecting your remotes over Bluetooth directly on Linux. (It doesn't work with the DolphinBar though.)
