Additional Bluetooth DongleI recently set my Raspberry Pi 3B+ back up with Retropie Kodi and Raspberry OS setup. I want to be able use Wiimote as a Bluetooth television remote in Retropie and Kodi. I'm able to pair it and use it. For some reason it registers as a mouse and keyboard I believe for the use of light guns. I followed method 1 and 2 and seem to have no luck in mapping proper controls in Emulation station and Retroarch. I do not know if the configuration is right. the buttons seem to work and i can map them. it also changes menus and selection when moving the wiimote. It has also remapped my wii u pro controls and can not get them back to how it was set before the wiimote situation. I just want to be able use my Wii U Pro Controller like normal and use the wiimote like a tv remote in retropie and kodi and help would be appreciated. I also uninstalled method 1 and 2 and tried 3 with no luck.
Thank You
