Emulator

Sounds like yet another wiimote disconnect issue. Just putting my voice in here to say
I'm experiencing the same thing in just about everything I try to play.

This is a not a game specific issue. This happens to all games i have played (NSMB,
Sports resort, mario SS, TigerWoods 2010, M Kart, etc.. Wiimote gets disconnected
after 5-10 minutes. I have tried it on Windows 7 x86 and x64 with same results.

I was just about to say...

Same issue I reported earlier, amongst countless others. These are most definitely
not game issues given how easily reproduced and how often this bug comes up.

@benc...@videotron.ca: Did you wrote in forum "i'm using an emulated wiimote with a
360 pad so not sure why this is popping up"?

Then you describe a different problem to mine. I am using a real Wiimote.

@atrauzzi: This you described in the issue I do not mean. My problem is, that nearly
directly after the game start (at game title screen, some times earlier) for the
first minute or so, the Wiimote get for some reason disconnected, mostly 3-6 times,
and i have to confirm that reconnect dialog to get through.

When I played a race and get back to menu, the problem appears not again.

Same exact issues here. Unable to use dolphin with the Wiimote at all. Was having
fairly good success with the Wiimote in New Mario Bro's. Now, after experiencing the
issue in other games, the Wiimote is not being detected at all in Mario. Refreshing
in Wiimote settings in Dolphin indicate no probs.

I play for hours and never get disconnects.

That doesn't mean it isn't happening. I never get disconnects in SSBB. But it
happens in just about every other game I have.

My issue sounds exactly like atrauzzi. Everthing works fine for 5-10 minutes and
after that all freezes and a window comes up saying wiimote just disconnected do you
want to reconnect blablabla.

Same here:

-wiimote disconnects
-ligth is normal (ligth 1 is glowing)
-message appears very long after disconnect.

As I had the feeling, that this issue is caused by a timing problem, I've modified the
code with the Wiimote patch of psyjoe:

wiiuse_set_timeout(g_WiiMotesFromWiiUse, g_NumberOfWiiMotes, 220, 220);

As I can see for now, it fixes this issue.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!

Its working perfectly, no disconnects!

Tried using 5110. Still getting intermittent wiimote disconnects.

Also tried 5115, no luck there either. Still getting intermittent disconnects.

@atrauzzi: As I already wrote. The issue I described here is different to yours. From
reading your description I think your issue has something to do with the energy saver
function of the wii, that turns off wiimotes after a period of idle time.

Any news on that one? Ptch didnt solve problem, i was probably just lucky.

Problem still exists... Now I'm on r5442 and real wiimotes get disconnected. Funny
thing is that it happens randomly not after some specific time. It takes dolphin too
long to reconnect them back. In fact wiimotes stop working before the game shows any
messages (talkin about PunchOut here)

The code for timeout is still outcommented in regular relase. You have to remove the
comment mark and compile it yourself. Working still fine for me here. But only by using
this line of code. I've tested serval times without and the difference is big.

Well... I found
case WIIUSE_UNEXPECTED_DISCONNECT: in RealWiimote.cpp
and removed uncommented next line but in effect I got only errors on build.
Is this the line you`re talking about or did I just make a fool out of myself?

Sorry for such stupid question but my programming skills are as you see quite low :(

No. I am talking about this line:

wiiuse_set_timeout(g_WiiMotesFromWiiUse, g_NumberOfWiiMotes, 220, 220);

Nice. Thanks.

Great job!
Still gettin disconected but not as often as before. I guess it's a matter of finding
the right timeout value.
