Emulator

I forgot to add that emulated Wii input is also broken in LInux for me. Also, the pairing light remains on as I get into the game, there is no evidence of a disconnect

Works for me on r7652, maybe I'll wind back and see if it was broken earlier. Also, I'm currently using scons, not cmake. That could change something.

I tried building r7658 via cmake after doing a "make clean" and the Wiimote didn't work (I also got an all black screen, but I could hear based on the audio that the game wasn't responding to my Wiimote controls). Then, I did another make clean, scons from the parent directory, and sudo scons install.

Running dolphin-emu from /usr/local/bin/dolphin-emu now I can't even get the Dolphin GUI to display to select a game. Oddly enough though, I can get it to display via X11 forwarding, but this does me no good for testing because I can't pair via Bluetooth.

I can try building 7652 rather than 7658 if that would be helpful testing data, but I'm a little confused exactly what the difference would be between using scons and cmake? I guess I figured that both built the same binaries using GCC via a different means?

I'm happy to test whatever, I'm sorry to complicate things further by bringing up the lack of GUI issue. bztdli...@gmail.com, are you able to reproduce this in 7658? What build methodology did you use? What version of Linux are you using? Do you have all of the packages listed on the LInux Build page http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/wiki/Linux_Build installed?

I tried from scratch to get a build I could run via scons with the latest Dolphin build, but same problem - no GUI. What did you do to get scons to build and run successfully for you bztdli...@gmail.com, and can you reproduce any of these problems with more recent builds?

You shouldn't be using scons. I just tested this and real wiimotes work fine for me on linux.

Can you please tell me what build you got it working in glennricster?

I used the cmake build system. Like I said, you should not be building with scons on linux. That build system is now only for OSX, and we are not supporting issues that come from someone building with scons. If you are on Ubuntu then you can use my ppa. Real wiimotes work for me with that build.

glennricster: yeah, I normally use your PPA, I appreciate you making this available. Unfortunately, 3.0-0ubuntu1~natty is producing this problem for me.

For me real wiimotes are working with both the the trunk build and the release build from my PPA. When you open the wiimote config dialog does it show that there are wiimotes connected?

By the way, you aren't trying to pair the wiimote using wmgui and then use the wiimote in dolphin are you? That would certainly fail. You must pair the wiimote using dolphin directly.

glennricster: as stated in my original post, the dialog is showing proper pairing as is the console and the pairing light on the Wiimote itself. This has been confirmed by others, including no_cluez, as you can see in the other comments in this thread.

Is it possible that this is problem with particular versions of the Bluetooth dependencies? Are you running Ubuntu Natty glennricster?

I'm not pairing using WMGui, nor do I have it open when using Dolphin.

Thanks for your help!

I solved the problem.

The problem must have been corrupt settings/preferences, because moving the ~/.dolphin-emu directory elsewhere and starting up Dolphin 3 from Glennricster's PPA works fine now.

I hope this helps the others in here having problems. Perhaps detecting pref/settings file problems should be a part of the Dolphin codebase, if not so already?

I was going to suggest something like that. I suspect that this is an issue with the SYSCONF file, and some of the recent changes that have occurred with that.

I'm fine on LInux too with fresh config files / clean system. I suggest someone close out this issue now. Delete your ~/.dolphin-emu settings :)

If someone that is having this problem could do a little test it might help. Instead of deleting the entire ~/.dolphin-emu directory, just delete the ~/.dolphin-emu/Wii/shared2/sys/SYSCONF file and see if that fixes the issue.

Is this issue resolved? Can it be marked as fixed? If know one responds in a day or so I will mark it as fixed.

In my books it is fixed. Sorry, I haven't had enough time to play around with the possibly corrupt SYSCONF file. Would you like me to attach the file?
