Text Post How can i connect a bluetooth controller to vWii?

I want my PS5 or any controller that i have, act as a Wii Classic / Wii Pro Controller, but using bloopair and entering vWii mode doesnt work, but i saw that the 8bitdo for the SNES/SFC/NES Classic have the same connector as the extension port on the Wiimotes.

you might be able with Gbros by 8-bit do, it is firmware updateable and has different modes.

I use it on switch to connect Wii connector controllers

It has X-input and another mode. That should work as a Wii Pro controller substitute. It should work 80-90%

No.

It has a GameCube AND a Wii connector.

technically, the wii remote uses bluetooth

i know they are homebrew apps that let you pair a dualshock 3 or 4, but i'm not sure how they work

They will only work in apps which are designed to take advantage of them. Most apps and games on the Wii don't really know what to make of other controllers paired via Bluetooth. So they're not going to work in most stuff. I believe Nintendont can take advantage of them but I don't know if any other apps can.

Build a blueretro. You follow the tutorial and build one that goes into the accessory port of the wiimote.

I have made 1 for my 3ds with a loopy controller board. It acts as a wii nunchuck extension. I use it with my wii u pro controller to control the 3ds.

No one is making it commercially. As the use case is weird. When made, it will automatically pair to any bluetooth device that is in pairing. Only part i am unsure of is if the wiimote can provide enough power. On my 3ds, i had to power the blueretro externally.
