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.
Since {{revision|5.0-910}}, Dolphin has the ability to passthrough a Bluetooth adapter for emulated Wii software. This is a powerful option that allows for perfect Wii Remote behaviors on Dolphin, given a powerful enough Bluetooth adapter.  Unlike standard Bluetooth emulation, Bluetooth Passthrough supports pairing third party Wii Remotes, Wii Remote audio, and can more accurately communicate fine motions.  However, because Bluetooth Passthrough gives the Bluetooth adapter directly to the emulated software, there are heaps of limitations that make it only worthwhile for certain situations.


== Limitations ==
== Limitations ==
* The functionality and quality of the connections heavily depend on the quality of the adapter.
* Requires a specialized driver on Windows, and on Linux requires a udev rule.  The Operating System will not be able to access the Bluetooth adapter while it is in use.
* Even though most adapters work fine in passthrough mode, the only perfect adapter is the Wii's Bluetooth module (so far).
* The functionality and stability of the connection heavily depends on the compatibility of the Bluetooth adapter used.
* Save states can be used with some limitations.
* Even though most Bluetooth adapters can be used in passthrough mode, perfect compatibility is only guaranteed with the Bluetooth modules from Wii consoles.
* 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 Wii Remote. This means that netplay, TAS input, input display, etc. cannot work.
* Many features do not work.  Netplay, input recordings will be limited.  The Wii Remote may disconnect if Dolphin is running too fast or too slow.  If the Bluetooth is disconnected from your computer, Dolphin may crash.
* 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.
 
<code>SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="YOURVID", ATTRS{idProduct}=="YOURPID", TAG+="uaccess"</code>
 
'''2.''' Reload udev rules with:
<code>sudo udevadm control --reload-rules</code>
 
'''3.''' Reinsert the adapter.


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>.

=== Windows ===
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 radio 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", 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.
 
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 ====


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.
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.
