Issue with Mayflash Bar- cursor tracking “warming up”?
Recently, my Mayflash dolphin bar has been having an issue where it will pair perfectly to my wiimotes as soon as I press A/the power button on them, so that all the buttons and motion inputs work perfectly, BUT it will not track the cursor on the screen. At least, not initially. If I sit there and madly wave my wiimote around and/or restart my computer a couple of times, the cursor will start appearing in patches- first for a second, then flashing from right to left briefly before disappearing, then eventually its there as it should be and works with zero issues the rest of my gaming session. This process takes between 5 to 10 minutes and its as if it is “warming up.”
Some more information- I am updated to the most recent version of Dolphin. I am using real wiimotes. I am sitting between 5 and 8 feet away from the sensor. The mayflash bar is set to mode 4 AND has the real wiimote setting in controller settings selected. Using the camera on my phone, the IR lights seem to be working fine (at least, I can see them very dimly on my pixels selfie camera, IF all the lights are turned off in my room). Audio to controller is set to off. I have tried disabling steam in task manager and it doesnt seem to aid or hinder the situation at all.
I just started using dolphin again after about a year break, but the last time I used it, it worked perfectly without a trace of this issue at all. The only major change Ive made to my pc setup is that I recently got a new bluetooth usb adapter- could that be the root of the problem? or should I be re-pairing the wiimote every time I start dolphin?
this is very frustrating- any help would be much appreciated!
