Hi!

This is a little inf & ini file hack to get Bluesoleil to work with adapters which normally wouldn't work. You will get the 5M limitation, but the wiimote should work fine at least for a while.

First you have to find out the USB VID and PID of your bluetooth adapter. To find the VID and PID use the Device Manager: Bluet
ooth -> Name of your Adapter -> properties -> details -> hardware IDs.
There should be something like:

Hi!

I have a Belkin F8T013xx1 and just tried your solution.
Unfortunately BlueSoleil still cant find my Dongle.
I used USB\VID_050d&PID_0131 as Hardware ID (Im not sure if its correct. I dont know how to find out the Hardware ID in Win2K).

Assuming the Hardware ID is correct, do you have any clue why its still not working for me?

Hi!

Win2k it should be just like XP. Start -> run and type in devmgmt.msc to get directly to the device manager. Under Bluetooth USB or something similar your adapter should be listed (maybe not under the correct name because of the hack). Double click it and on the details tab you will find the correct VID and PID.

After you changed the files, have you completely shut down Bluesoleil? Not just closed the window, but the logo in the system tray has to be gone too. Right-click the Bluesoleil logo in your system tray and choose exit. In your task-manager shouldn't be a process named bluesoleil.exe

Was the installation of the modified driver successful? It should say IVT Corporation on the driver tab of the bluetooth adapter properties window. Widcomm or Microsoft means that the installation of the modified driver was not successful.


Greetings,

Oh dear i just recognized i really didn't shut down the system but only closed the window...

Note to self: Think yourself before asking

Thx for your help...

What about for bluetooth devices already integrated into the computer, say on a laptop?

[Dr_Zoidberg]

That should work similar, but you may need to modify a different inf file or it could be a lot harder to get it to work, depending on what type of interface is used.

Dell uses usb on it's internal bluetooth module, which i found in the bttl.ini file.

well that was interesting. i tried to add mine, a rocketfish. there were no rocketfish entries, so i tried making a new one, expecting bliesoleil not to work if if couldnt handle an extra, it still ran but still didnt recognize it.

i tried disguising it as another brand (DELL why not), and it still ran and still didnt recognize it.

i noticed that the dongles driver in device manager was changing when i changed it in the bluesoleil files, i guess bluesoleil was updating it for me.
i tried to install the correct drivers again through device manager and it had a little fight with bluesoleil and i couldnt shut bluesoleil down. i uninstalled the dongle in device manager to get the exit option to come back. kinda scary.

thanks for this fix, it didnt help me. but i feel that we are closer to making the wiimote universally compatible
