(→Adapter test results: convert audio column to ?/No/Limited/Yes, prefer commercial adapter name and list model number (if available) under parenthesis and add "WiFi Card" suffix to generic adapters where applicable) |
(→Adapter test results: got my hands on a Lenovo laptop with the Intel 3165 card; unfortunately, it has the same issues as most other Intel cards) |

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. | ||
