TPLINK UB500 Support? #2

Open Trihy opened 1 month ago

Trihy commented 1 month ago

I found interesting that this dongle, doesnt seem to work with most wiimote software. I had to search for a really old driver to make it work. In best case, it will sync but wont reconnect (with the old driver both things works fine)

It´s based on a know realtek chipset, so probably there are many of this chipset based bt dongles. It´s reported as BT 5.0 to 5.3 depending on the driver installed.

Any ideas what could be preventing from pairing? Maybe some BT protocol had changed since wiipair was created. Or it´s just a bad implementation of bt protocol on this dongle. Seems the aunthenticate part fail. Maybe the dongle wait for other kind of response.

On Windows 11.

Unfortunately, I do not know. I forked this because I was trying to get my Wiimote working with Dolphin. Since then, Dolphin has included native support for Wiimotes, so I haven't needed this tool.

Does Dolphin work with your BT dongle? It might be worth looking at their code.

Oh, no problem. I don't use this dongle. Was just curious to know why it has problems. Also doesn't work with wiimotehook. Works with dolphin. But wiipair based software can reconnect easily, which dolphin can't.

I just hope it's something about this dongle and not something protocol related which could be included on other dongles and break this kind of software.
