Support Wiimotes connected via the DolphinBar #94
Comments
my understanding of the dolphin bar is that it transform your wiimote as a mouse. |
That is a wrong understanding, it does much more than that. It has 4 operating modes, the activated one being indicated by a LED:
The Dolphin emulator uses mode 4, and I honestly expected xwiimote to just work with it but it seems it doesn't. Looking into it, Dolphin had to make some changes to properly support it, so I suppose the same is the case for xwiimote. A possibly relevant PR on the Dolphin side would be dolphin-emu/dolphin#661. |
Hi, @PureTryOut did you find a library supporting wiimote via dolphinbar ? |
Sadly no |
The DolphinBar is a Wiibar with USB-A connector. Besides doing the usual infra-red lights it also acts as a Bluetooth receiver the Wiimotes can connect too, which it then passes to the connected PC. The Dolphin Emulator has support for this built-in and works flawlessly, but it seems xwiimote doesn't support this.
My Wiimote is connected to it and although the Dolphin emulator indeed picks it up, xwiimote doesn't seem to realize a device is connected. Nothing appears in dmesg and
xwiishow list
doesn't list the device.I'm willing to buy such a DolphinBar for the maintainer of this project if it helps getting it supported.
