  • WE NEED PROOF

    • Sorry the body was cut off. As far as this community goes I'm not going to be super strict on posting solutions as we are all human (hopefully). Screaming is not something that's against the rules but you might want to be a little more polite in the future.

      Thanks for the reminder

  • Is this to play Wii games on an emulator? This immediately reminded of that guy years ago who used the Wii remote and tracking bar in reverse to create a type of 3d VR experience.

    • I have a few things planned. I mostly want to use it to play non emulated games but I'm also interested in using it as a clicker for slide show presentations and as a remote control.

      I'm really interested in the sensors as you can use it to track just about anything.

      • Ok. Now you have me curious. I tried this years ago on windows but it needed a third party Bluetooth stack and it did not support enough of the Wii remote to be useful. I presume you are using something like XWiimote on Linux.
