Emulator

I guess we will need to change Allocate() @wiimote_real then eh? If wiimote.ext =
balance board -> plae it in slot 4.

this MIGHT work i dont know, i dont have that equipment so i cant test it all sorry.
Try replacing the allocate function with this one here, however it might be..that u
need to use the new wiiuse.h v1.2 to recognize ext.type == EXP_WII_BOARD.
IF u dont know what i mean, just replace EXP_WII_BOARD with a 4 below, that will also
do the trick, hacky tho. :P

void Allocate()
{
if (g_RealWiiMoteAllocated)
return;
if (!g_RealWiiMoteInitialized)
Initialize();

// Clear the wiimote classes
memset(g_WiiMotes, 0, sizeof(CWiiMote*) * MAX_WIIMOTES);
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_WIIMOTES; i++)
	g_WiimoteInUse[i] = false;

int current_number_wbb, current_number = 0;
g_Config.bNumberEmuWiimotes = g_Config.bNumberRealWiimotes = 0;

// Create Wiimote classes, one for each Real WiiMote found
for (int i = 0; i < g_NumberOfWiiMotes; i++)
{

	// Let's find out the slot this Real WiiMote will be using... We need this because

the user can set any of the 4 WiiMotes as Real, Emulated or Inactive...
for (; current_number < MAX_WIIMOTES; current_number++)

// Just to be sure we won't be overlapping any WiiMote...

	if (current_number < MAX_WIIMOTES)

I have a real balance board but i'm not developper so can't test your code snzgoo.

I wanna precise the problem:
If I choose a real wiimote in slot #1 and a real balance board in slot #4 and I
click on "Pairup wiimotes" the both are paired since the LEDs are on and label
indicate "connected to 2 wiimotes".
But if I click OK the balance's LED switch off!

When I run Wii fit +, although I type ALt+F8 the board doesn't want to connect and
the game is locked.

What is the best solution:

1. Create a new plugin for balance board?
2. Add a checkbox "Balance board associated" in each tab of wiimote plugin?
3. Consider a balance board like a wiimote?

Many games need this issue be resolved!

I wish I would have a wiibalanceboard, I would be probably able to fix it, but since
I don't have one, it's unfortunately very inefficient to work remotely on it. However
someone already tested the patch above( I modified it a lil) and the board got
positioned properly in slot 4. The light on your board goes off, because we only
enable the LED that corresponds to the slot in which your balanceboard was
positioned. The Board behaves like a Wiiremote, but since it only has one LED, we
would need to set LED 1 on (although its in slot 4) instead of turning on LED4.
However one of the question now is, whether it is necessary to turn on the proper LED
on the balance board to make it work at all or not. If I should ever be able to get
my hands on a WiiBalanceBoard, I would try to make it work..

Can you build me a revision with this code and send it on a FTP for I test it?

Get a recent build for instance 5764 or newer:
http://www.dolphin-emulator.com/download.html?ver=5476&arch=64

Then get my patched plugin_wiimote.dll(balanceboard fixes)
http://archiv.to/GET/FILE4BFDD2B8DE5D7

Just simply replace the old plugin_wiimote.dll in your plugins folder with this one.
This should put the balance board automatically into slot 4, and keep the LED1 on.

OK, I've tested it and there are several problems:

First, the balance's LED is ON and paired with a wiimote but sometimes, the wiimote
take the slot 4 so the is still a bug.

On the other hand, in a game like Family ski and snowboard, if I connect the balance
board during game is running (pause, connect wiimote 4, play) the game crashes.
In wii fit, balance board isn't detected by the game equally.
There are 2 buttons on BB. A button Power in front and a button "sync" near
batteries.
The sync button make the LED toggle on and off longer than power button.

It would be possible to add in Wiimote 4 in input source option "Wii Balance board" and try to get one of these to work this option? Also, if possible, try to add a feature to this plugin to run the speaker of the Wiimote.

If it helps, the Wiimote is recognized as "Nintendo RLV-CNT-01" and the Wii Balance Board is recognized as "Nintendo RLV-WBC-01", and the emulator recognizes it as one Wiimote, but the games do not recognize and it turns off the LED be added in the emulator.

Nobody works on this? Nobody has a balance board? It costs less than 50€ with bigben brand without any game.

@ pilidj@msn.com
Ok money bags, buy me one and I will make it work in Dolphin.

Does anyone know if the plugin posted by snzgoo works? I just barely got a wii fit board and it would be awesome if it worked with Dolphin.

As I know, balance board can not work on dolphin .It need some more work to do maybe.

Are you still working on this one, or has this issue died? Balance Board doesn't work and it won't ever work? You guys are really not interested in having it working with the emulator? Seems like such a cool feature to add...

you could try the build i posted here, but don't get your hopes up

if it works with a real balanceboard report it here or there

Hi All.
I purchased a balance board after getting dolphin 3.5-4000 and as you know its difficult to tell that it works properly. There is not a certain feature in dolphin letting us know when its connected and when its not, despite the LED inside the power button is on continuously ,After pairing up with Dolphin using the sync. Button. And it was not easy to synchronize and it needs 3 or more trials each times I need to pair it with dolphin.

Is there any attempt to overcome this problem?

Once I could get it working in WII-Fit-Plus, but it was just for a second for pushing the power button and after it the game hanged (As a member mentioned it on this page).

Overall I can tell I've paid for nothing and I couldn't use Balance Board by Dolphin, even for a min.

Is it going to be solved in next developments of dolphin? Help. thanks

gholy1234, this is not a support forum. http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/ is.

3.5-4000 doesn't exist, and probably never will since we're likely to release 4.0 before the number gets that high. Try the latest development build (3.5-1410) from here: http://dolphin-emu.org/download/

sorry i was meaning 3.5-1400 .
