Dolphin doesn't detect a connected wiimote on iMac OSX
0%
Description
What's the problem?
My iMac detects the wiimote through it's bluetooth. I can also connect it through the Darwiin Remote software and through OSculator. But when I press the refresh wiimotes button, it doesn't find the wiimote when it's connected any of these ways. It always says 0 Wiimotes connected.
Dolphin version with the problem (as it appears in the title bar, Ex.: "R
4779" or "R 6403M"):
I've tried many revisions and they all have the same problem
Operating system and version:
32-bit or 64-bit:
OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard)
Please provide any additional information below.

Made a little test: Revision r7120 this seems to work on Mac OS X 10.6.x: it detects and doesn't disconnect the Wiimote and the Wii games are fully playable.
So the revisions with emulated "Wiimote Sound" is broken on Mac OS X (tested recent revisions e.g Dolphin r7369 to r7415).
Hope this helps...

Strangely enough r7120 didn't work on my mac mini, but on my imac..so after several other older revision compilations on the mac mini and testing neither didn't work...
I then fired up again the app "WiimoteWhiteBoard" to detect the Wiimote and now even the latest r7415 works...

So it could be a Bluetooth driver problem on Mac OS X...but not sure.

Found a solution: Try deleting Dolphin's "Config" folder in "Library / Application Support / Dolphin" folder.
Then restart Dolphin again, reconfig the paths and Wiimote.
Your Wiimote should reconnect and games playable (I deleted Dolphin's Config folder on an iMac and a mac mini, both works now)
