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:

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>.

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 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.
If this does not revert your device driver, you may right click on the Bluetooth device in Device Manager, select "Update Driver", "Browse my computer for drivers", then select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer". From there, select "Generic Bluetooth Adapter". This should permanently revert your Bluetooth driver.

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.
