[Help] Dolphin emulator for Android not reading input from Wiimote in game (kbin.social)

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 running stock Android 13 and I've paired a real Wiimote via Bluetooth and confirmed that it is connected. In Dolphin (ver 5.0-19870), I've set my Wii input to "Real WiiMote" and I've plugged in a USB sensor bar.

I can navigate dolphin with the Wiimote + Nunchuck (I can navigate the game select menu with the joystick on the nunchuck or the D-pad and launch a game with the A button), but for some reason, none of the input works in-game. The B button will open and close the in-game Dolphin menu and the Home button will minimize the Dolphin app and take me back to my launcher, but that's it. I can't interact at all otherwise.

It doesn't give me any options to configure the Wiimote's controls, unless I'm emulating a Wiimote. With the "Real Wiimote" option, I can't seem to configure anything.

Does anyone know what the problem might be or how I can fix it?

Thank you!

What kind of bar are you using? I've heard you can't connect WiiMotes through your phone's Bluetooth.

You'd need to buy a Dolphinbar that'd act as a sensor bar and a Bluetooth receiver for up to four WiiMotes. I think it even says it in the Dolphin app.

I believe the one you must buy is a Mayflash W010. I'm not too sure, you check the Dolphin emulator forums and stuff
