Thank you for your kind words, friend! Maximum effective IR range of the Dolphinbar is about 20 feet, if you don't move much. For games that have lots of wide-range movement and/or multiple simultaneous players, I would shorten that up to about 16 feet. But the input range (simple button presses) was at least double that for me, and according to bluetooth specs-the wiimote being bluetooth version 2.0-the maximum input range could be up to 20 metres.

It does have a "mouse & keyboard" option. In fact it has 2 for some odd reason. So yes, in theory, you should be able to play certain non-Dolphin games. However you don't need the Dolphinbar in order to use your Wiimote for keyboard controls. And you're also going to want a much more in-depth controller remapping method than what the Dolphinbar provides out-of-the-box. I would recommend you check out this program called touchmote, as well as another one called JoyToKey. There's a pretty good tutorial on this HILARIOUS dude, Basically Homeless' channel, that does a better job at really going in-depth on how to configure your wiimote for pretty much anything: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJvKdKmFm7aYoZo I'm a little skeptical as to his reasoning for using 2 wiimotes but watch that vid and do your best. Also be careful when remapping the motion controls because the wiimote is veeerry sensitive and will continuously trigger those inputs unless the wiimote is completely motionless and on a flat surface. Hope I answered your question

I have actually tried that! Unfortunately it's next to impossible as far as I care. It requires you to remap default pc controls to a wiimote, which IS impossible without third party software; pretty well all programs/games won't recognize a wiimote as a generic input device. There are several pieces of software that I'm aware of that you can do this with, most notably one called "Touchmote."

Hey there bro I have a question every time when I sync my Wii remote on the Dolphin it connects it as a Player 4 controller not as Player 1 and can't do anything .. I connected a second Wii remote and it recognizes it as Player 3 any idea how to turn it around??
@FroobTubeLIVE2 жыл бұрын
Depending on your version of Dolphin, I would suggest downloading a newer version, and making sure that when connecting the Wiimotes to Dolphin, only the Wiimote controller ports you want to fill are open (i.e. "Wii Remote 1" turned to "Real Wiimote"), while the rest are turned to "None". And then just open the rest of the ports you want one by one.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but once I connected the controller to the Mayflash Dolphinbar and hit refresh, it didn't vibrate and whenever I try playing games none of the inputs are detected. And I don't think it's something wrong with the controller because when I put it on emulated Wii remote instead of real wii remote and start putting in the inputs there it detects them. Are there any solutions or answers to this?
@FroobTubeLIVE Жыл бұрын
You are likely using a 3rd-party controller, and from what I've heard, Dolphinbar support for 3rd-party Wiimotes is hit-or-miss. Meaning some work and some don't and you won't really know unless you try. At least, that is until you use Bluetooth Passthrough mode. Refer to Dolphin's guide here: wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Passthrough I will be of little help beyond simply giving you this link. Good luck!

Hey guys, I just got the dolphin bar yesterday but I'm having issues getting it to work properly! I have a small room, when i'm right at my desk I cannot sit any further away from the Dolphin Bar! When I stand further away at my door it registers the Wiimote Pointer and works better! When I'm at my chair which is closer to my screen it doesn't work, I have thus tried to turn my monitor to face my bed and see if it registers the Wiimote whilst I am further away whilst sitting on my bed and it also worked! I was hoping there was a setting that allows me to alter the distance the Dolphin bar works at! It is requiring me to sit too far away to play! Is there a setting I can change to allow me to sit close and still play? Is there anything else I can do without manually having to open up the dolphin bar physically? (I am not good with Hardware _;) Thanks, From Elsa
@FroobTubeLIVE5 ай бұрын
Hello! Unfortunately there isn't a setting for that. The lights on the bar physically require that your Wiimote be minimum 1 metre away. But if it isn't too awkward of a placement, if there is any additional space at all behind where your monitor is placed, such as under your desk, or some other unobstructed space in your desk area, depending on how much space you have, you might be able to get closer to that 1 metre. One thing you could also do is use a USB extension cord to have the bar further away, while still being able to sit in front of your screen. On that note; A ridiculous and possibly unhelpful idea I just had would be to secure your bar to the ceiling somehow lol. Might be awkward and discombobulating to play with at first, but I think if you're in dire straits, it could be less horrendous than you think haha. Maybe on the ceiling but still behind your monitor laterally? So you have a BIT of an angle to work with so it at least feels SOMEWHAT like the Wiimote is facing the game Alternatively, if for whatever reason the Dolphinbar is physically difficult to work with for the more unconventional methods I just mentioned (and somehow the following options are any easier??????), you might be able to use one of the following setups: a) 2 small candles spaced out the same distance as the lights on Dolphinbar b) same as above but small LED lights Hope this helps! Any other questions, ask away!

Well the quickest way to tell for sure is that if it says "Wii" at the bottom, it is genuine. Additionally, if you've connected to the bar, I have a hard time believing the IR inputs wouldn't work since both lights on the bar would be turned on and no longer flashing. However, 3rd-party wiimotes do have a completely muddied reputation in terms of IR input, as well as connecting them through the Dolphinbar, so it's not impossible that you do indeed have 3rd-party devices. I would just make absolutely certain and turn that "must not be" into a "for sure isn't" before doing anything too hasty.

I have one video that should help you understand things a little bit more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5ipmGirfNWDldk However with newer versions of the program, Dolphin states that the "Bluetooth Passthrough" feature will connect Wiimote Plus controllers, as well as 3rd-party controllers. With that said, it would probably still be good to know if your device is bootleg/3rd-party if you are currently unsure. Refer to Dolphin's guide here on Bluetooth Passthrough Mode: wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Passthrough Also, for your last comment, if you're talking about the part in the Control Panel where it doesn't show up in the 'Devices and Printers ---> Add a Device' dialog, you may have to simply retry adding it multiple times. It should show up eventually regardless of whether it's 3rd-party or official.

I seriously doubt that the motion tracking would be easy for Dolphin to read on its own. It's possible that if there are motion controls in the Dualshock 4 controller, that a program like JoyToKey would help to identify it for you if Dolphin struggles like I expect it to. Whatever the case, whichever application you use to try and identify the motion controls, take very VERY precise note of what those controls are called, IF you even get a reading; a single character typed wrong makes the difference from Left to Up and forwards to backwards. For Android especially the issues may be trickier to even identify, let alone find a solution to. If you haven't already tried using a Dualshock controller with your Android device, then either connect it with a cable and dongle, or try using the bluetooth. Now if you mean will the Dolphin BAR work with any controller other than a wiimote for IR sensory? Well if the controller has an IR pointer like the wiimote... it's possible I guess. But you won't be able to connect the controller to the computer via the bar, at least not easily. You would have to use some other way to connect, and simply use the bar for nothing more than its IR capabilities.

There is no easy way to connect an original wii sensor bar directly to a computer. However, all the sensor bar does is emit infrared light, and the wii console does nothing more than supply power to the bar; the bar does not transceive signals to the system, only the wiimote. And so if you still have your wii, you can turn on your wii and have the sensor bar connected to that, and actually use that bar for your pc! Assuming of course that your pc has bluetooth and that your wiimote is properly connected. At any rate I would very much recommend the Dolphinbar or any other well-reviewed USB bar. Cheers
