Help please with wiimote and mayflash connecting to steam instead of dolphin. Out of ideas.
FIX LISTED BELOW! Please ignore any punctuation and capitalization errors, typing this all out for a second time cause my app decided to crash when I went to attach the photo. I have been playing wii on dolphin since late march and have had no issues at all up until the last two weeks. I went to play one day and noticed that none of the buttons on my wiimote would work, even though it was on and showed it was synched to my mayflash bar. I gave up on it for that night cause I was just too tired to be bothered with it. I have tried to play again on and off every couple of days but was still having the same issue. After digging around today I figured out my mayflash bar and wiimote keep connecting to steam even when the application is completely closed. There was a couple of old posts from a couple years ago having the same issue that recommended going into the steam config settings and blacklisting the controller but even when i tried that it still didn’t work for me. I’m pretty much at my wits end here as nothing i try seems to work. I’ve tried the blacklisting method, resynching the wiimote, completely resetting the wiimote, using a different usb port for the mayflash bar and turned on Continuous Scanning and Connect Wii Remote For Emulated Controllers. I also can’t get my 8bitdo to connect to the mayflash bar to use instead of the wiimote. I have a real Wiimote and have my Mayflash bar turned to setting 4 for the real Wiimote to connect. Any help would be very appreciated, if I can’t get any help I guess I’ll just have to give up on playing the Wii.
EDIT: Forgot to add but if I select Emulated Wii Remote in controller settings and hit the device menu I see DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse and SDL/0/HJZ Mayflash Wiimote PC Adapter with 4 labeled like that going from 0,1,2,3 after SDL.
FIXED IT!!! I finally got my wiimote to connect by doing this: Went to bluetooth & devices on my pc, scrolled down and clicked on More devices and printer settings, in the menu that opens up click on Mayflash Wiimote PC Adapter and then click on remove device, cut the Mayflash bar off and cut it back on and let it set the device back up on its own and voila, now my Wiimote connects and works again! Hope this helps someone in the future that has this weird issue!
