Super mario galaxy no cursor

Wii sensor bar not working with Super Mario Galaxy

Just as the title says. When loading super mario galaxy through retroarch I get no cursor on screen and am unable to select a new save file, etc. I am using a real wiimote and getting that to pair with retroarch is no issue, the remote is even detected if I press the home button on the wiimote after launching the game as well as in The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword so I don't think its the sensor bar or the wiimote causing the issue. The game also detects the wiimote cursor fine when launching through the actual dolphin emulator.
