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 Wiimotes to Dolphin, third-party Wiimote support, working Wiimote audio and more accurate connectivity.

This means that your adapter is likely broken and does not remember Wiimote link keys properly. Use a different adapter to avoid this issue.

* Because Bluetooth Passthrough Mode skips Dolphin's emulated Bluetooth and Wiimote code entirely, it is not possible to mix passthrough mode and emulated/real/hybrid Wiimote. This means that netplay, TAS input, input display, etc. cannot work.
