How do I use a Wii remote as a input device? Anyone using a Wii remote as input and if so what's your setup like.

Solution: I bought a dolphin bar. Its not here yet but it should work better.

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
  
  ok :c
- 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.
Just sharing an old trick.
The pointing function relies on two IR sources, one in each side of the bar. In a pinch, you can use two candles in front of the screen you want to point at instead. Not too close though haha.
Might be useful if your screen and the hardware are somehow far enough away from each other to be a problem. Did this back in the day when a bar wire was chewed through.
