Emulator

And set your log config to "Warning".

The wiimote pairs successfully on 3.5-423, but not on 3.5-424.

I went back to 3.5-477 and set the log config to Warning, then tried pairing again. It gave me this:

03:44:780 Src\HW\WiimoteReal\IOWin.cpp:424 W[Wiimote]: IOWrite[MSBT_STACK_MS]: ERROR: 00000001
03:44:780 Src\HW\WiimoteReal\IOWin.cpp:424 W[Wiimote]: IOWrite[MSBT_STACK_MS]: ERROR: 00000017
03:44:780 Src\HW\WiimoteReal\IOWin.cpp:424 W[Wiimote]: IOWrite[MSBT_STACK_MS]: ERROR: 00000017
03:44:780 Src\HW\WiimoteReal\IOWin.cpp:424 W[Wiimote]: IOWrite[MSBT_STACK_MS]: ERROR: 00000017

A significant change in 3.5-424 (which I assume is the problem change) is no longer opening the wiimote device for shared writing.

Toshiba stack does still work for other people.
Do you have any sort of utility running that might have the wiimote device open.
Some kind of hotkey program, another game, anything?

The only things I can think of are my Steam client and Parallel Port Joystick. I tried shutting both down and it still didn't work.

Think it might be the BT stack version I'm using?

I don't know, but I really don't want to revert that change because it probably fixes issue 6031.

Looks like the problem's located somewhere else. I went back to the Microsoft stack and it still won't work.

I'll have to figure out what's causing it. Thanks.

Yes, the issue would exist with MS Stack as well.
Fairly sure some program on your system is using the wiimote when it shouldn't be.

Issue 6055 has been merged into this issue.

Support this! RVL-CNT-01 ain't working either with Toshiba stack since the merge. Reading comments seems that the merge has in fact almost broken real wiimote support.

So I can kind of get around this if I first remove the bluetooth devices and then, while I have the Wiimote dialog open in Dolphin, I re-add the device and connect through Windows explorer. Then click the refresh button (then my wiimotes shake, etc.)

However, once in the game I seem to get the BSOD, though I've only tried with the already problematic Epic Mickey 2.

Mine too, after 424, i cant sync my wiimote anymore, old versions work fine, changed to mstack and same thing ocurs. Im using toshiba btstack with RVL-CNT-01-TR

Don't understand why the status is questionable, when almost all of us are finding big problems. Not working is not questionable, it's quite objective.

I fully agree. There is no reason to completely cutoff support for all modern real TR-Wiimotes just to implement a nearly useless new feature.

The Wiimote-scanning merge commit needs to be reverted and further development of Wiimote-scanning should happen in a separate branch until these major problems are fixed.

As you cannot buy older non-TR Wiimotes in stores anymore this change should get high priority.

Guess what: you don't decide that.

Bluesoleil doesn't work anymore as well

On OS X (10.7/10.8, two different Macs), connecting my remotes (two original remotes included with my Wii + one non-TR MotionPlus remote that came with Skyward Sword) is perfectly possible, but somehow input no longer works. Worked perfectly fine on the last rev of the branch, but somehow it stopped working right when it was merged (?!).

The status is "questionable" because it's possible everyone with wiimote problems has a broken program on their system opening all HID devices. (broken Hotkey program, broken game, other)

Wiimotes still work for many, with all bluetooth stacks.

There is a huge difference between standard and integrated Motionplus Wiimotes in the way they communicate, please refer to issue 5011. All TR-Wiimotes seem to be broken.

Please confirm this is fixed by rcedfa452b4497590f828306b42b1e7c24915fd58.

I don't want to test it, but I am such a nice guy too. It works, the TR-Wiimote now connects with Toshiba stack.

I didn't want to push it because it unfixes something else and shouldn't be needed.
I do want wiimotes fixed :p

It's working now with Toshiba stack and RVL-CNT-01!
I wasn't previously getting the "device in use by other program" message. It just wasn't doing nothing when refreshed.

Thanks!

There was no "device in use by other program" message, it would simply not connect because the device cannot be opened when opened elsewhere.

It's now working for me with the Toshiba stack. Thanks very much :D

Hello everyone, i'm having the exact same issue connecting my wiimote (classic with no motion plus) in dolphin using a trendnet 107ub dongle.
I tried the ms stack, bluesoleil and toshiba and had the same results.

I first searched here for people with the same problem and found this post, so i tried 3.5-423 and the wiimote connected and worked in game.

Any version above that and it won't connect.

I'm not sure if i have to create a newpost or not, thanks in advance if someone can help.
