The Toshiba Stack provides full Bluetooth on Windows, for everything, not just Wii Remotes (-TR and whatnot). It requires the additional step of connecting Wii Remotes through the Toshiba Stack instead of just through Dolphin.

You can download the Toshiba stack from the link below. Use the newest version; it has the highest known compatibility. If the newest version doesn't work feel free to try older ones. Note that if you attempt to force the Toshiba Stack on a dongle that is not officially supported by Toshiba it will only be a trial edition, and require you to pay them for use of the software.

=== Toshiba Stack and the Bluetooth Adapter ===
=== Toshiba Stack and the Bluetooth Adapter ===
The Toshiba Stack only supports a limited number of Bluetooth adapters. For absolute maximum compatibility, buy a Bluetooth adapter that is specifically designed to use the Toshiba Bluetooth stack; look for "Toshiba Bluetooth Software" somewhere on the package or for "Toshiba" in the comments on the online store. If your adapter is not on the list, there is a small possibility that you can force the Toshiba drivers onto the adapter in the later section. For now, proceed to the next section like normal until you reach to the point that takes you to another section specifically for your adapter.
