My Wiimote isn't working with Dolphin!! (I had to close out of Steam!!)

I was about to lose my mind! My Wiimote was connecting but I had no input in the actual game. Come to find out it was Steam! I had to completely close out of Steam to get the Wiimote to register input in Dolphin/Dolphin VR!

Recently Steam added support for Wii Remotes which prevents Dolphin from using them. Exit Steam and reconnect the Wii Remote. Alternatively blacklist Wii Remotes in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config\config.vdf. Exit Steam and add "controller_blacklist" "57e/306,57e/330" at the end of the file above the last }. The result should look like

}

"controller_blacklist" "57e/306,57e/330"

}

Here is an example of how it should look in the Steam config file if you want to block it:

Thank god the people in the Dolphin Discord were able to help me out! I was about to uninstall Dolphin VR and already had uninstalled my bluetooth drivers!
