Your answers are here!
Have you searched the issue tracker for a similar issue?
Yes.
Game Name?
Any Wii Game.
Game ID? N/A
What went wrong?
Connecting a real Wii Remote to Dolphin via the "Real Wiimote" option causes any Wii game to hang with a black screen on startup. Dolphin doesn't actually crash ("emulation" can be stopped and the game window with the black screen will close), but even after disconnecting the Wii Remote from OS X Dolphin does not function normally; all Wii games hang with a black screen at startup. Gamecube games are not affected.
What did you expect to happen?
...the Wii Remote to function properly and for Dolphin to start the game.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Connect a Wii Remote to Dolphin via the "Wiimote" button in the toolbar, then start a Wii game.
What version of Dolphin were you using (please test the latest version
from http://dolphin-emu.org/download first, 3.5 or 3.5-367 are not valid
tests!)? 3.5-1691
64 or 32 bit Dolphin? 64-bit.
What version of Dolphin used to work?
I haven't used Dolphin in a long time; the last build I tried was probably pretty close to (or a little after) 3.0 and it worked then.
What Operating System were you using and what are your hardware
specifications?
Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E3067); MacBookAir6,2 - 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7 4650U, Intel HD Graphics 5000, 8 GB DDR3-1600; Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller (VID 0x05ac, PID 0x828f), Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 4.1.5f7 12407
Also occurs on:
Mac OS X 10.8.5 (12F26); Hackintosh - 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 4770k, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660Ti; 16 GB DDR3-2133; Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd. Bluetooth USB Host Controller (VID 0x0a12, PID 0x0001) Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 4.1.7f1 12582
64 or 32 bit Operating system? 64-bit.
Any other relevant information or links to logs:
The same hardware (on both computers) works properly under Windows. Only one line from Dolphin appears in OS X's console:
Dolphin: Failed to start HID Manager

Hey @jros and @murda...I've figured it out you have to delete all your old dolphin stuff from your Mac first than download the newest dolphin...and to make sure that you did delete all old dolphin files click your finder than scroll up to the top left of the Mac screen under finder click preferences than check show external disks now you will see all of your dolphin stuff on your desktop than drag them in the trash and everything should work

No idea what guy #3 was saying, but I don't experience these issues. Any other "hangs" you're seeing (that aren't accompanied by a scary log message that indicates an actual problem) are likely intentional (although fucking weird and unintuitive) behavior from Continuous Scanning; uncheck that if you have issues.
