Since [https://dolp.in/v5.0-910 5.0-910], Dolphin has the ability to passthrough a Bluetooth adapter for emulated Wii software. This gives emulated Wii software full control of a Bluetooth adapter, which, provided a decent, working adapter, notably allows pairing Wii Remotes to Dolphin, third-party Wii Remote support, working Wii Remote audio and more accurate connectivity.
Since {{revision|5.0-910}}, Dolphin has the ability to passthrough a Bluetooth adapter for emulated Wii software. This gives emulated Wii software full control of a Bluetooth adapter, which, provided a decent, working adapter, notably allows pairing Wii Remotes to Dolphin, third-party Wii Remote support, working Wii Remote audio and more accurate connectivity.
 
== Limitations ==
* The functionality and stability of the connection heavily depends on the compatibility of the Bluetooth adapter used.
* Even though most Bluetooth adapters can be used in passthrough mode, perfect compatibility is only guaranteed with the Bluetooth modules from Wii consoles.
* When using Bluetooth Passthrough mode, the emulated software directly communicates with the Bluetooth adapter, so it's not possible to mix passthrough mode with emulated Wii Remotes and some Dolphin features like Netplay, TAS input, input display, among others, won't be available.
* Save states made in Bluetooth Passthrough mode can't be loaded on "Emulate a BT Adapter" mode, nor vice-versa.
* Wii Remote connection state dictates whether save states made in Bluetooth Passthrough mode will work or not:

'''1.''' Paste the following into '''/etc/udev/rules.d/52-dolphin.rules''' (/lib/udev/rules.d/52-dolphin.rules if making a package). Replace 'YOURVID' and 'YOURPID' with the Vendor ID and Product ID respectively.

Dolphin should be able to automatically unload the USB Bluetooth kernel module (assuming you have permission to; you typically need to be in the <code>plugdev</code> group). If not, unload it with <code>modprobe -r btusb</code>.

Download and open [http://zadig.akeo.ie/ Zadig], then:


1. In the "Options" menu in Zadig, make sure "List All Devices" is enabled.
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:
# In the "Options" menu in Zadig, make sure "List All Devices" is enabled.
# Look through the devices for the radio to passthrough.
# On the right column, select "libusbK", then click "Replace Driver". Select "Yes" to modify the system driver.
 
If you wish to return your Bluetooth drivers back to normal, start "Device Manager" and locate "libusbK" devices in the list.  Right-click the device you wish to restore and select 'Uninstall Device'.  Upon plugging it in next time, Windows will install the default Bluetooth driver and it will resume normal functions.  NOTE:  If you used the winUSB driver instead, it will be located under "Universal Serial Bus Devices." Same instructions apply otherwise.


2. Select your Bluetooth adapter in the device list.
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.


3. On the right column, select "WinUSB" then click "Replace Driver". Select "Yes" to modify the system driver.
==== usbdk ====


Dolphin will be able to use the adapter after the driver is successfully installed, and until you revert back to the default Bluetooth driver.
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 shuts down.  While this cuts down on the work 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.

It is possible to use the "Press Sync Button" hotkey as an alternative to the buttons in the controller configuration dialog.
 
You will need to map "Press Sync Button" to a key or combination of keys. This can be done within Dolphin by left clicking on the "Hotkey Settings" tab under "Options" to bring up the appropriate configuration menu. You must then left click on the "Wii and Wii Remote" tab and left click on the box for "Press Sync Button" to map this hotkey.

==== 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).

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".

This means that your adapter is likely broken and does not remember Wii Remote link keys properly. Use a different adapter to avoid this issue.
This means that your adapter is likely broken and does not remember Wii Remote link keys properly. Use a different adapter to avoid this issue.
This may also happen if your SYSCONF is corrupted or if you changed to a Dolphin version which doesn't have BT passthrough. If your adapter is listed as working with pairing or if you're sure it supports pairings (by having checked the HCI command replies), you can try deleting Wii/shared2/sys/SYSCONF and Wii/btdinf.bak.

=== Black screen on boot ===
Games send a reset command to the Bluetooth adapter when they start and wait for it to be acknowledged. If you are getting a black screen for a long time (more than 10 seconds), your adapter may be stuck in a broken state and is unable to respond to any commands. Unplug the adapter and try again.

=== No usable adapter found ===
* The functionality and quality of the connections heavily depend on the quality of the adapter.
This can happen with some adapters. You'll need to [[#Forcing_a_specific_adapter|force your adapter to be used]].
 
* Even though most adapters work fine in passthrough mode, the only perfect adapter is the Wii's Bluetooth module (so far).
 
* Save states are not very useful in passthrough mode, since loading a state will break Bluetooth connectivity.
 
* 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.
