This | 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 == | ||
* 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. | |||
* The functionality and stability of the connection heavily depends on the compatibility of the Bluetooth adapter used. | * The functionality and stability of the connection heavily depends on the compatibility of the Bluetooth adapter used. | ||
