Can't get wii motes to connect

Unknown

I ran these commands to connect wii motes:

sudo apt-get install wminput
sudo reboot





sudo nano / etc / cwiid / wminput / retropiewii one
sudo nano /etc/cwiid/wminput/retropiewii 
sudo reboot
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
sudo reboot
cd RetroPie-Setup/

I followed this tuatorial: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Wiimote-Controller/
I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my wii motes never connect to my pi's emulationstation. I'm running the offical retro pie image on a pi4. My wiimotes have not been modified in any way. I am using pi4 built in Bluetooth. I have not done anything to the image except for add two Nintendo DS emulators from the retro pie setup experimental packages. I plan to connect four wiimotes. The pi does detect them with the scan, but they never show in emulator station. I did put their mac addresses in my pi. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

It's bad forum etiquette to open a new topic when you already a topic open on the same subject https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26798/having-trouble-connecting-wii-remote?_=1593018778499. You should keep all of this in one thread otherwise it's extremely confusing for those who may want to assist you.

@quicksilver I did not know that. Sorry, but I can't change that now.
