Pairing procedure for Wii Remote controllers in iPi Recorder supports only standard Microsoft Bluetooth stack, which is used on Windows by default. The original Wii Remote Plus controller (with built-in Motion Plus sensor) works well with that stack. However, the newer model of Wii Remote Plus has some changes which do not allow it to operate correctly using Microsoft Bluetooth stack. The only solution that is currently known is to use Toshiba Bluetooth stack instead. Below you find an instruction to make new Wii Remote Plus work with iPi Recorder (starting from version 2.2.3.30).

Do you need Toshiba Bluetooth stack for your controller?
You can find out whether your Wii Remote Plus is newer or older by looking at its name as a Bluetooth device.
- Launch the standard Windows Add Bluetooth Device dialog.
- Press 1+2 buttons on your Wii Remote or the SYNC button under or on the battery box cover.
- Older Wii Remote will display as Nintendo RVL-CNT-01, newer Wii Remote as Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR (the difference is in -TR suffix).
Tip. The pairing procedure in iPi Recorder warns you automatically if it detects that at least one of the devices you are trying to pair are the newer ones.
If you have only newer Wii Remotes or a mix of older and newer ones, then you should use Toshiba Bluetooth stack. If you only have older ones, then you can safely stay with Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
Get a right Bluetooth adapter
The Toshiba Bluetooth stack officially supports a limited number of Bluetooth adapters. You can force installing Toshiba drivers for other adapters (see here), but this will be considered a trial and, by the license, requires you to pay Toshiba for this usage. So, it is highly recommended to get a Bluetooth dongle that is officialy supported. You can find such dongles by looking for the word "Toshiba" somewhere on the package or in the product description. Some supported models are listed below:
- Azio BTD-V201
- Cirago BTA3210
- Cirago BTA6210
- SiteCom CN-516
- SiteCom CN-523
- Toshiba PA3710U-1BTM
Install Toshiba drivers
You can get the latest drivers for Bluetooth stack on the Toshiba website:

Alternatively, if you use officially supported Bluetooth dongle, it should come with CD/DVD containing the Toshiba Bluetooth stack.
Connect your Bluetooth adapter, and run the installer. Then follow the instructions. Reboot the computer when prompted.
