Hello! Still having an issue with Dolphin in 5.27 (x86_64): Wiimote emulation is working in default/vertical orientation, but when I rename a rom with .side., .cc, or otherwise, then my controller is no longer recognized by Dolphin. The game will ask me to “please connect Wiimote” and will not take any input.
For example, if I play “Kirbys Return to Dreamland.wbfs”, I’ll get input, but it’s “rotated” because the game is meant to be played with a sideways wiimote. If I rename it “Kirbys Return to Dreamland.side.wbfs”, then the game will no longer take input from my controller. It just thinks nothing is connected, but I can still control the UI and other emulators. This is the same for all Wii games I’ve tested.
Using the latest 5.27 RC4 on a Dell Inspiron i7559 (2016) and an 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+ controller. In Dolphin, I have the Wii Remote settings set to “Emulate the Wii’s Bluetooth Adapter” and I’ve checked “Connect Wii Remotes for Emulated Controllers” and “Continuous Scanning” underneath. Weirdly, when I change Wii Remote 1 to “Emulated Wii Remote”, it will save that setting, but once I run a game and come back, it will have reverted to “Real Wii Remote.” I think this could be indicative of the problem?
