Ok, I have an idea what it might be, but I want to see if anyone has a suggestion I might not have tried.....

Also note, I haven't changed anything on my wii (no updates, installs, new wads, etc) since it previously worked

Ok, when I try to sync my remotes, they won't! The lights on the remotes blink 4 lights, but won't sync up.

I've tried:
1. New batteries and the typical pressing sync button on controller/wii: Nothing
2. Held sync button on wii for over a minute to reset sync and then tried 1. again: Nothing
3. I've tried other remotes that I have: Nothing
4. I've held the sync buttons for misc. amounts of time: Nothing
5. Unplugged everything and retried: Nothing
6. Let the wii stay turned on for 24 hrs: Nothing
7. Finally, let the wii SIT for 24 hrs and then retried all the previous steps: Nothing


Now, at this point, I have come to the conclusion that it is the bluetooth module and have ordered a replacement but again, I wanted to make sure there wasn't any other suggestions that I might not have tried that could fix my problem.

thanks guys! I figure if anyone would know, gbatemp would!

for 1 you must be in the system manu or a game to sync wiimotes. no homebrew.
second, the system menu wont start if the bluetooth doodad is bad. you just get a nice blackscreen.

It's probably the blue tooth module since you say it was working and just quit.

Now if you uninstalled the system menu through wad manager i believe that causes the remotes not to sync anymore as well but since you said you did nothing to it then replacing the blue tooth module is the best logical explanation.

no, I didn't uninstall any wads at all.

my wii has priiloader installed and the coverfloater dol is installed to boot at startup. I've never had a problem at all until just the other day when I turned it on it wouldn't sync....nothing had changed. I use to be able to turn on the wii and they would sync right up, but not now.

December 11th we sat around playing "Lets Tap" for a couple of hours and when we went to bed, I turned off the wii. December 15th I turned on the wii so my son could play the New Mario Bros and the controllers wouldn't sync up at all....none of the 3!

They sync up fine to my friends wii, but not ours.

I will let you know the outcome of the bluetooth as soon as it shows up.

I was repairing a friend's Wii, and I made the mistake of syncing both of my controllers to their Wii. Now I am stuck with my Wii being remoteless...

I have PriiLoader autoloading Configurable Loader... I am also having trouble getting it to recognize a BootMii SD card, I had it once, but it won't seem to see the card with PriiLoader installed.

Does anyone know how to disable PriiLoader without a WiiMote?

Thanks,

Jake (Now feeling like a fool)

The new GC Controller fixed my issue. I used it to launch the system menu from PriiLoader.

I guess thats the drawback to PriiLoader launching Cfg directly...

ok, I want to thank you guys a million times over! It wasn't the bluetooth (damnit, anyone want to buy a new bluetooth module? haha)

after reading other peoples problems, I searched through my box of old consoles and dug out a GC controller and changed priiloader to boot to system menu instead of coverfloater and it synced right up when it made it to the system menu!

Thanks again guys....you really pulled through for me and saved my Christmas!

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
