Well, firstly we should add this as guide on the main website ASAP as I noticed some threads about the passthrough mode popping in the forums, and most already are answered here. I'm not sure but I think [[User: | Well, firstly we should add this as guide on the main website ASAP as I noticed some threads about the passthrough mode popping in the forums, and most already are answered here. I'm not sure but I think [[User:MayImilae|MayImilae]] has the great powers needed to do that! And secondly, I think we should also have a list of compatible BT Adapters somewhere (and given the nature of the wiki, it's the perfect place). However, I think we should go slow with this and think of all details very carefully to avoid headaches in future since the first thing that comes to my mind is a "rating" for the BT Adapters, and, well, we already have enough issues with the current rating system from the game lists. Maybe using a more simple, 3 step, approach? Like 0 for unknown, 1 for not working at all, 2 for working with issues (e.g. works but doesn't remember paired controllers, has trouble connecting multiple wiimotes, works fine but randomly stops working, etc) and 3 for perfect (e.g. the Wii BT Module -- no issues). What do you guys think? Please point any flaws or things to take in consideration when designing this - [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk:mbc07|talk]]) 22:21, 6 October 2016 (CEST) | ||
For the list of compatible adapters, I agree that the wiki is a good place for it. IMO, it may be better to have a compatibility table with specific test points (detected and boots, reliability, pairing, whether 4 Wiimotes can be handled, range). The issue with a 3 star system is that probably only the Wii BT module will get a perfect score, and all others will be either 0, 1 or 2. Also, while 2-star adapters all have at least one issue (of course), some of them are much larger problems, such as randomly stopping working or not being able to remember Wiimotes pairings, whereas not being able to or simply struggling a little bit to connect 4 Wiimotes is not as important. --[[User:Léo|Léo (leoetlino)]] ([[User talk:Léo|talk]]) 00:37, 7 October 2016 (CEST) | For the list of compatible adapters, I agree that the wiki is a good place for it.

Also, while the table is very detailed, I fear that it may become harder to read and compare adapters as more results get added. Could we add some sort of rating system as the last column, as some sort of summary? As discussed previously, it'd be star based. 0 for untested adapters; 1 for non-working adapters or broken pairing; 2 for anything that's near perfect but has some flaws; and 3 for everything that's ''as good as'' or ''better than'' the reference adapter. --[[User:Léo|Léo (leoetlino)]] ([[User talk:Léo|talk]]) 00:05, 26 October 2016 (CEST) | Also, while the table is very detailed, I fear that it may become harder to read and compare adapters as more results get added.

: LGTM. However I would like to hear the thoughts from the other wiki admins as well (Kolano, | : LGTM. However I would like to hear the thoughts from the other wiki admins as well (Kolano, MayImilae) since we already had some troubles with rating systems like that before. They're apparently busy and barely visits the wiki nowadays, but PMing them in the forums is probably enough to summon them to the discussion - [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk:mbc07|talk]]) 07:06, 26 October 2016 (CEST) | ||
:I'm curious about the range for the Bluetooth adapters, are some exceeded than Wii is capable of, or will be always equal possibly because of the limitations coming from Wii Remote itself?

Didn't we have special formatting for Amazon links so Dolphin would get some percentage of proceeds from sales? I've forgotten the details, but that may need to be applied to the links here.

:All the formatting that is required is an amazon link with the referral component. [https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/topic/t64/a1 Here are the amazon referral link instructions], and you can get the IDs from just clicking on a URL in the recommended accessories. If you don't want to go over there, [https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-W010-Wireless-Sensor-DolphinBar/dp/B00HZWEB74/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_mfw?&linkCode=wey&tag=dolphin-emu-20 here's one]! So I assume the idea is just to make it so anyone can search for any adaptor listed here and buy it from amazon through our code? (edit: super weird seeing my old username here. I need to bug Matt_P some more. :( ) - [[User: | :All the formatting that is required is an amazon link with the referral component.
