This guide tells you how to connect and use a RVL-CNT-01-TR Wii Remote Plus in Dolphin. Fortunately, they can work with Dolphin - with some special requirements. Since all Wii Remotes for sale in stores since 2011 are -TR Wii Remotes, this has become a growing problem. What exactly changed is unknown, but all -TR Wii Remotes may need additional hardware/software to work with Dolphin. Whereas the standard Wii Remotes and the very first Wii Remote Pluses register as RVL-CNT-01, the new Wii Remotes register as RVL-CNT-01-TR. Unfortunately, shortly after the Wii Remote Pluses came out, a new Wii Remote Plus type appeared.
Released only a year after the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the Wii Remote Plus is a Wii Remote with the MotionPlus addon built into the Wii Remote.
