I’m having some trouble getting my first party Wiimote Plus to connect to my Linux Mint laptop via bluetooth. I can get Blueman to say it’s connected, but the sync button keeps flashing on the remote until i disconnect it, and it’s not recognized by AntiMicroX, jstest-gtk, Retroarch, Cemu, or Super Smash Flash 2.

I’ve looked at WiiCan, wiimote-pad, and MoltenGamePad, and i can’t figure any of those out. I installed xwiimote and xf86-input-xwiimote but they didn’t seem to change anything.

Does anyone know what i’m doing wrong here or have experience getting a Wii remote to connect to Linux (ideally with a working nunchuk)?
