Released only a year after the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the Wii Remote Plus is a Wii Remote with the MotionPlus addon built into the Wii Remote. Unfortunately, shortly after the Wii Remote Pluses came out, a new Wii Remote Plus type appeared. Whereas the standard Wii Remotes and the very first Wii Remote Pluses register as <samp>RVL-CNT-01</samp>, the new Wii Remotes register as <samp>RVL-CNT-01-TR</samp>. What exactly changed is unknown, but all -TR Wii Remotes do not work with Dolphin by default. Since all Wii Remotes for sale in stores since 2011 are -TR Wii Remotes, this has become a growing problem. Fortunately, they can work with Dolphin, it just takes some work. This guide tells you how to connect and use a <samp>RVL-CNT-01-TR</samp> Wii Remote Plus in Dolphin. | Released only a year after the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the Wii Remote Plus is a Wii Remote with the MotionPlus addon built into the Wii Remote.

While the addition of the sync button on the battery cover is the common way to tell non-TR Wii Remote Pluses from -TR Wii Remote Pluses, even that is not 100% reliable.
