MAYFLASH W010 Wireless Sensor Dolphinbar for PC USB Wii Remote Adapter Used on PC Windows

Q: it's a different product, the firmware is not matched

I had the same problem, so I wrote to Mayflash support. Apparently there is a newer version of the DolphinBar hardware. Mine is the older one with only one switch at the back, while the newer one has 2 switches at the back. The newest firmware update from April 2017 only works with the newer DolphinBar. The older firmware update from August 2016 should work with the older DolphinBar. They are both under Downloads on the Mayflash website.

Q: Can this be plugged into a TV's USB port? My Wiimotes are already connected via bluetooth to my PC.

Yes, but for PC use don't do it. Short version: Your setup contains lag, but dolphinbar doesn't. Read this review: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2014/08/23/dolphinbar-review/Long version: The default bluetooth stack in your computer can't communicate with the TR-Remotes(motionplus built in) without considerable lag(when compared to a Wii). The dolphinbar solves that problem. Furthermore re-syncing(which you'll have to do occasionally) is easier, too. Just push the button on the Wiimote and the bar, and it's taken care of automagically. This is the dolphinbar's reason for existence: Lag free Wiimote input and easy, consistent syncing.If, however, you just want a USB powered bar for an actual wii or Wii U, then yeah, USB on the tv.

Q: When i click the update firmware button, the following message pops up: "it's a different product, the firmware is not matched, cant update it!". why?

Does this also function as a bluetooth sensor for other devices besides the Wii controller?
