* Save states can be used with some limitations.
* Because Bluetooth Passthrough Mode skips Dolphin's emulated Bluetooth and Wii Remote code entirely, it is not possible to mix passthrough mode and emulated/real/hybrid Wii Remote. This means that netplay, TAS input, input display, etc. cannot work.

WARNING:  While a libusb driver is installed, other programs/devices will not be able to use your Bluetooth device.  This can be easily reverted in Windows Device Manager and instructions are provided below.
Download and open [http://zadig.akeo.ie/ Zadig] as Administrator, then:
Download and open [http://zadig.akeo.ie/ Zadig] as Administrator, then:
# In the "Options" menu in Zadig, make sure "List All Devices" is enabled.
# In the "Options" menu in Zadig, make sure "List All Devices" is enabled.
# Look through the devices for the device to passthrough.
# Look through the devices for the device to passthrough.
# On the right column, select "libusbk" then click "Replace Driver". Select "Yes" to modify the system driver.
# On the right column, select "libusbk" or then click "Replace Driver". Select "Yes" to modify the system driver.
 
If you wish to return your Bluetooth back to normal, start "Device Manager" and locate "libusbK" devices in the list.  Right click the device you wish to restore and uninstall device.  Upon plugging it in next time, Windows will install the default Bluetooth driver and it will continue functioning per normal.  NOTE:  If you used the winUSB driver instead, it will be located under "Universal Serial Bus Devices."  Same instructions apply otherwise.


If you run into problems after doing this, such as an "LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND" error when trying to use the adapter with Dolphin, downloading and installing the [https://github.com/daynix/UsbDk/releases latest x64 usbdk driver] could help.
If Dolphin is unable to use your Bluetooth device after doing this, it may not have the necessary hardware features.  You can attempt to use the "winUSB" driver from zadig as a last ditch effort.
 
==== usbdk ====
 
As of {{revision|5.0-10617}} usbdk is no longer supported.
 
Some users who wish to maintain use of their Bluetooth Device and use it in Dolphin without swapping drivers have opted to use usbdk.  When Dolphin starts up, you will lose control of your Bluetooth Device and regain it when Dolphin is shutdown.  While this cuts down on the work if you need to use your Bluetooth device across many controllers, usbdk has many bugs. The worst of which is that any ES_Launch will immediately crash freeze the game due to usbdk losing control of the Bluetooth.

==== Forcing a specific adapter ====
==== Forcing a specific adapter ====
If you need to use a specific adapter, instead of using the first Bluetooth adapter that is found, you can force Dolphin to use it by editing Dolphin's configuration file (Config/Dolphin.ini). In the BluetoothPassthrough section, set "VID" and "PID" to your adapter's vendor ID and product ID (that you previously converted from hex to decimal).
If you need to use a specific adapter, instead of using the first Bluetooth adapter that is found, you can force Dolphin to use it by editing Dolphin's configuration file (Config/Dolphin.ini). In the BluetoothPassthrough section, set "VID" and "PID" to your adapter's vendor ID and product ID. [http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-decimal.htm These values should be converted from hex to decimal], for example a VID of "057E" should be inputted as "1406".
