Emulator

*typo: should read - 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ram (2x4gb)

The primary feature of this bug report is not the crash (which happens most, but not every time), but the broken wiimote support. This brokenness is also present in DarwiinRemote, Wiiji, and Remote Buddy - three other Mac apps which interface with wii remotes. Something has changed in the bluetooth stack which will need to be addressed. I feel merging this issue with a crash report isn't useful. This bug also cannot be reproduced on versions of OS X prior to 10.8 - quite distinct from the bug this was marked a duplicate of.

well you included none of that reasoning in your issue report. this d.pr site makes me want to stab my eyes out, and no one is going to fix one without fixing the other.

also apparently 10.8 changed to "golden master seed" status just yesterday, whatever that means. in any case, it's still not a stable release from apple so i care even less than normal about it.

Gold Master is a stable release seeded to developers a week or two before it's widely distributed to general users. They exist specifically so developers can test their apps and work on fixes to any minor bugs (like this one) before users begin upgrading to the new system. Mac OS users tend to upgrade to new operating systems much faster than windows users so this will likely be more of an issue. This bug remains present in the Gold Master. It's rare for a gold master to be replaced before release - only extremely severe bugs cause this.

the real issue is that we have no os x devs

I have the same problem with the final version of ML :(

Same issues with ML from Applestore. The bluetooth extension has changed since Lion (4.0 -> 4.09). I had to reconnect my mouse with the new OSX. Dolphin recognize the wiimote but it doesn't appear in the list of bluetooth device in Sytem preference after the crash.
I put the crash report from OSX, I don't know if useful ?

I got the same issue but I kept trying to connect my WiiMote & my entire mac crash & rebooted.
When it rebooted it launched Dolphin & the WiiMote was connected.
This was a one time thing but it let me use it to play the games.

Was able to fix Darwiin Remote by proper retain/release of channels. See:

http://stream.weiv.co/mountain-lion-bluetooth-woes-and-its-fix

Today I got my WiiMote connected a second time by chance as my Dolphin was glitching while I was trying to sync & then the WiiMote synced & Dolphin didn't crash so I am able to fully use it untill it disconnects.

Interesting article... There are something like that.
After trying, I've remarked that if I sync the wiimote just before click on "refresh", it work sometimes... But in game it stay hazardous to maintain the connection. I must explain that i've sync my wiimote with sytem preference before, so ML knew it.

Easiest patch ever.

Basically what #11 says is exactly right.

I put up a binary with the above patch here: http://www.cyberhq.nl/~marco/Dolphin-ML.dmg

Can anyone explain what I have to do here? I'm lost.

Comment 15's download link worked well enough for now. The remote pairs and stays paired but you have to sync it twice. I haven't been able to use game saves at all either. I was wondering if anyone knew how to open dolphin and see its code and edit it. I've made a clone but I don't know how to access the actual code.

Thanks Marco, I got this issue and am using your binary. I have gotten past the crash, but I dont think dolphin is getting my wiimote's keypresses - I'm stuck on the 'Put on and tighten the wrist strap' screen. I attached my terminal output. Is there anything I might be missing here...?

Ok so i used comment 15's patch and sadly it does piar one real wiimote without crashing... BUT.. when i try and link a 2nd real wiimote, it crashes and crap

Why hasn't this patch been committed to the trunk? As of build 3.0-799 this issue still hasn't been fixed.

Issue 5684 has been merged into this issue.

Ok I can confirm on OS X 10.7.5 that your patch works by retaining the 2 L2Cap channels ichan and cchan, it syncs my 3rd party Wiimote immediately, and doesn't loose the connection.
