However, it lacks a number of Bluetooth functions, some of which the -TR Wii Remote uses. There are now two solutions for this problem, the DolphinBar and the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack. Both have superior Bluetooth functionality and not only allow -TR Wii Remotes to work, but also fix minor Wii Remote bugs that are present in the MS Bluetooth Stack. | ||

It doesn't reveal any of the Bluetooth information to the operating system, instead sending HID packets directly to Dolphin without a Bluetooth Stack, thus allowing -TR support, syncing of Wii Remotes, and other features superior to what the Toshiba Stack can offer. However, since it does this, it is only useful for supported Wii controllers, and cannot be used as a full Bluetooth adapter. Full details are available in the [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2014/08/23/dolphinbar-review/ DolphinBar Hardware Review], and links to purchase one are available on our [[Recommended Accessories]] page. | ||

The link provided below is the official download page for Toshiba Stack. Use the newest version; it has the highest known compatibility. If the newest version doesn't work feel free to try older ones. Note that if you attempt to force the Toshiba Stack on a dongle that is not officially supported by Toshiba it will only be a trial edition, and require you to pay them for use of the software. | |||

For absolute maximum compatibility, buy a Bluetooth adapter that is specifically designed to use the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack; look for "Toshiba Bluetooth Software" somewhere on the package or for "Toshiba" in the comments on the online store. There is a small possibility that the adapter not in the list can be used with Toshiba Stack, through the installation with an edited driver file, as instructed in the later section. But please acknowledge that it is preferably for experienced users only. Proceed to the next section like normal until you reach to the point that takes you to another section specifically for your adapter. | ||

If Toshiba Stack does not seem to detect the adapter and shows endless "Please plug in the Bluetooth device and click OK button" prompts, it is because the Toshiba Stack will only install its drivers onto the adapter with a matching USB\VID number from the list. Naturally, the adapters not in the list are not supported and will be skipped. It is possible to add yours into the list with a small modification. | If Toshiba Stack does not seem to detect the adapter and shows endless "Please plug in the Bluetooth device and click OK button" prompts, it is because the Toshiba Stack will only install its drivers onto the adapter with a matching USB\VID number from the list.
