drw4013 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) I am using a Mayflash Dolphinbar a 4 real Wiimotes. This works perfectly when launching games directly through the Dolphin emulator. However, when I launch the Dolphin emulator through LaunchBox or BigBox, the Wiimotes do not work (which makes no sense to me since LB/BB is just launching the same exact emulator). I am using Mode 4 on the DolphinBar, which should be the correct mode to use actual Wiimotes. Could anyone point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this? Is there something in LB/BB that would override or prevent the Wiimotes form working? Edited April 11, 2021 by drw4013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Do the Wiimotes "re-sync" when launching from LB? What is your command line options that you start Dolphin with from LB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your command line options that you start Dolphin with from LB? I had this working on previous install, so it has to be something small tripping me up. WiiMotes sync exactly the same way through LB/BB as when launching Dolphin standalone: wiimote vibrates, wiimote light 1 (or 2-4 for multiple) lights up, dolphinbar shows mode 4 light and sync light. The only difference is that button presses are unresponsive when launching through LB/BB. Command Line options for launching Dolphin: -b -e (this worked on a previous install). I checked both Dolphin and Launchbox to make sure neither were using Admin privileges because I've read that can cause issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Shouldn't need admin privileges. Just make sure real time scanning is on in the controller configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
