Windows includes the "MS Bluetooth Stack", and most bluetooth adapters use it by default. However, it lacks a number of bluetooth functions, some of which the -TR wiimote uses. The only solution at this time is to use the Toshiba bluetooth stack. It has the full range of all bluetooth functions, and allows the -TR wiimote to connection to Dolphin with little difficulty. It even has the side effect of fixing a few minor Wiimote bugs in Dolphin. | Windows includes the "MS Bluetooth Stack", and most bluetooth adapters use it by default.

#Now click through the windows. It's on express so everything is pretty much automatic. The windows will go away and it will show the bluetooth settings screen with "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR".

#Make sure one of the Wiimote slots is set to Real Wiimote. Now, you can press refresh now and the -TR Wiimote will instantly shake and the LEDs will change to 1 or whatever.

That's it. Dolphin will immediately detect it and it will be playable. Use what you prefer. | #Make sure one of the Wiimote slots is set to Real Wiimote.

And that's it! When you are done just turn off the Wiimote. The Wii Remote will remain in the bluetooth settings window, but the yellow and green "connection" lines will be gone. To reconnect the Wiimote, all you have to do is double click it. A window will pop up telling you to prepare it.

If your adapter isn't detected by the Toshiba stack and shows endless "Please plug in the Bluetooth device and click OK button" prompts, you can hack the Toshiba Stack to get around it. Basically, the Toshiba Stack will only install itself onto adapters it ''knows'' will work, and it knows because it has a list of USB\VID numbers. It will only install the Toshiba Stack drivers onto devices on this list. But, with only a little tweaking, you can add yours. | If your adapter isn't detected by the Toshiba stack and shows endless "Please plug in the Bluetooth device and click OK button" prompts, you can hack the Toshiba Stack to get around it.
