Once the pairing process is completed, the controller will be usable on Dolphin, as further instruction is available in the [[Configuring Controllers]] guide. However the red Sync button must be pressed instead of '''1''' + '''2''' every time to connect.

For some people, pairing the above way does not work - pairing fails (eg. El Capitan doesn't have the 'Do not use a passcode' option anymore). In that case, just enter Dolphin, select 'Real WiiMote' and hit the refresh button on that menu, and also click the red sync button on the back of the controller.
== El Capitan ==
Since the El Capitan update, Bluetooth pairing requires a passcode. To get the Bluetooth passcode you must find the Bluetooth address of the Wii remote.
 
# Open System Preferences --> Bluetooth.
# Press the red sync button on the back of the Wii remote.
# After pairing fails, right-click on the device and look for the field "address".
# Record the address backwards (e.g. 00-1B-7A-D9-72-0E would be "e0279da7b10").
# Use a Hexadecimal-to-ASCII table or convertor ([http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-ascii.htm such as this one]) to get ASCII text.
# Go back to Bluetooth settings, find the Wii remote device and click on options.
# Under "Passcode" paste/write the ASCII text into the field (ignore non-character such as "NULL" or "STX").
# Press the red sync button on the back of the Wii remote and click pair.
# If pairing fail, restart the computer and try pairing again.
# If pairing continues to fail, see below.

For some people, pairing the above way does not work. If this is the case open Dolphin, click on "Controller", select "Real WiiMote" from the Wiimote settings, press the red sync button on the back of the Wii remote and hit "refresh" under "Real Wiimote".
