Wiimote power off cause controller config error pop-up

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I finished setting audio/video settings to my liking (GCN controller),I 
tried resuming and it keeps showing me an error (preventing me from resuming) 
until I 
re-activated said wiimote and then I resumed successfully,when nothing was 
truly wrong with the controls at all.

audio/video setting have nothing to do with controllers, you must have leaved 
the wiimote assigned to one of the player in controller settings menu. The 
message only occurs if one of the assigned controller is not detected.

btw, which wiimote is it and how did you powered it off ?

I only have one wiimote,it timed out faster because of only two power units of 
energy are left in my wiimote.
It is annoying to have to burn all the power in my wiimote/switch control 
method just to resume playing my current game.

I don't understand: first you said you had to reconnect the wiimote to get past 
the input error message, now that you have to wait for the wiimote to run off 
battery (and shutdown), please be more clear.

As i said, the error message only appears if one of the configured input 
controller is not found. If the wiimote is not attached to any player, the 
program does not care about it being disconnected or connected. Again, check 
your settings in controllers menu and check which type of device is attached to 
EACH player. Also give me the configuration you are using i.e what is setup in 
ports A & B on the left side.

By powering off I mean that leaving it idol long enough makes it turn itself 
off.

What I meant is that I do not want to leave my wiimote running while I am not 
using it just because of the error wont let me continue my game.

Player one controller is set to use the GCN controller in slot 1 (gamepad) and 
Player 2 is set to use the wiimote,obviously (gamepad).

In closing,I think it should show the error but allow you to choose to continue 
anyway.

Disable player 2 if you are not using it, simple (i.e set port B to NONE) and 
it won't bother you anymore.

The message is there to prevent people going to the game with wrong controllers 
setup, which could prevent them going back to the menu. I guess I could simply 
check that at least ONE configured controller is connected though. Your own 
suggestion is good too but there is no reason to give user choice when you know 
they will still be stuck after that, I will think about a compromise between 
the 2  solutions.
