<br/>Nowadays, Dolphin can directly pair and connect to RVL-CNT-01-TR remotes without the aid of 3rd party software/hardware in nearly all currently supported desktop OSes. Most content of this guide is only applicable to older OS versions that are not supported by Dolphin anymore (e.g. Windows 7/8/8.1), or relies on discontinued software, not available anymore (e.g. Toshiba Bluetooth Stack). | |||

Released only a year after the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the Wii Remote Plus is a Wii Remote with the MotionPlus addon built into the Wii Remote. Unfortunately, shortly after the Wii Remote Pluses came out, a new Wii Remote Plus type appeared. Whereas the standard Wii Remotes and the very first Wii Remote Pluses register as <samp>RVL-CNT-01</samp>, the new Wii Remotes register as <samp>RVL-CNT-01-TR</samp>. What exactly changed is unknown, but all -TR Wii Remotes may need additional hardware/software to work with Dolphin. Since all Wii Remotes for sale in stores since 2011 are -TR Wii Remotes, this has become a growing problem. Fortunately, they can work with Dolphin -- with some special requirements. This guide tells you how to connect and use a <samp>RVL-CNT-01-TR</samp> Wii Remote Plus in Dolphin. | Released only a year after the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the Wii Remote Plus is a Wii Remote with the MotionPlus addon built into the Wii Remote.

For some people, pairing using the method above does not work. If this is the case open Dolphin, click on "Controller", select "Real WiiMote" from the Wiimote settings, press the red sync button on the back of the Wii remote and hit "refresh" under "Real Wiimote". | For some people, pairing using the method above does not work.

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. Please be aware that Toshiba Stack will start in trial mode when using on a unsupported dongle subjected with forced driver installation, and will eventually require a supported adapter to continue use of the software. | The link provided below is the official download page for Toshiba Stack.
