Description

Game Name?

Dolphin GUI

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

While I was playing a Wii game using a real Wiimote (non-MotionPlus, I don't have a MotionPlus to test) I disconnected the Wiimote and Dolphin suddenly crashed. Tried it some more times with other games (SSBB, MP: Trilogy, SMG, etc) and it always crashed when I disconnected the Wiimote.
It could be a great inconvenience when the Wiimote disconnects without me manually disconnecting it (like, running out of battery), since that would mean I should be using savestates every 5 or so minutes so I don´t lose a long play sesion without saving (like a boss in Metroid games, or finally getting a star after 30+ tries in a Daredevil run in Mario Galaxy)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Open Dolphin, connect a Wiimote (You don´t even need to run a game!), and disconnect the Wiimote

Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?

4.0-9198

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

  • Status changed from New to Fixed

Presumably fixed by 5.0-876, which changed the way Wiimotes are handled on macOS.
