Interesting Wii-mote page

[-Shockwave-]

Check it out. It looks like the guy made a driver for the Wii-mote.

It has a download and could be something you guys can use to get all the info you need to get the Wii controller working. This is not something that can be added to the Dolphin emulator files, but the devs might be able to download the 1.01 file and "explore it" and then make a plugin for it.

Good luck.

very interesting good job

I think Wii emulation will progress very quickly. Perhaps within a year or so we'll have the beginnings of a working emulator. I suppose that's the consequences of making a console that basically just builds upon your previous console.

Those links above should have everything the devs need to get the Wii controller plugin working, if they wanted to add it.

Wait a minute here...I don´t think the devs made the emulator with the intention to fully emulate the Wii as well. They just wanted to see if they could pull it off, which they did.

Using a Wiimote on PC is easy: the problem is knowing how the Wii and the Wiimote communicate, which has already been said a zillion times.

Emufan23: your signature is over limits, check the limits and fix it please, it's annoying having to wait a zillion years for the page to load.

you on dialup or something? o.o

anyway, these links do tell how the wiimote communitcates with the wii
or am i wrong cause i read the pages partly lol

First, you're wrong. All of them are Wiimote libraries for pc, that do not detail how the Wii recognizes the Wiimote.

Second, it's not your problem what I'm connecting with, there's a set of rules that say which sizes can be signature images:

Please keep your signatures small. Large signatures make the board look untidy and reduce performance for our 56k users. As a guide signatures should not be larger than 500x100x20k for signatures hosted on ngemu, or 500x130 in dimension and 25k in filesize otherwise. Members who break these guidelines will have their rights to a signature removed.

You both are free to modify your signatures to be within the limits

its true, and i fear this is the closest of learning how the communicate you can get with those links


and i know about the rules. but if really took that long your connection must be slow etc etc (and no thats not a flame. i was just asking for a confirmation that you indeed have a slower connection)

No, it's not slow, but when connecting through my PSP, the loading times get painful.

"Wiimote Server for Maya allows a Wiimote controller and an optional nunchuck controller to COMMUNICATE with Autodesk Maya. It is a simple integration of the WiiYourself! library by gl.tter "

See that there. the Wii-mote is "communicating" with maya and it is being run off of a PC. Figure out how it is "Communicating" with it and you've figured it all out, my friend. It's all there for you to read and break down the software they coded. It can't get any easier than that. Not to mention the other links are very helpful.

using wiimotes with a pc ain't a problem. you can use wiimote in any game.
the problem is knowing how the wii communicates with the wiimote
not wiimote<->pc
we need wiimote <-> wii
its not the same iirc

Do you have the slightest idea of what are you talking about? Are you a coder, or just someone that read that and thought "Oh, this should magically work!". That has nothing to do with how the Wii communicates to the Wiimote.

Even I as a totally Noob can tell, that (as shashClp said) there's a "little" difference between the comunications Wiimote+PC (with ANY Application) and Wiimote+Wii. And as long the emulation for the Wii itself is not far enough, why would one concern about the Wiimote anyway? It's like building a house by starting with the roof... or something :P
But to some people, emulation allways seems that easy to achieve...
Well, if it "were!" that easy, why would it take years to write some reasonable Emu even for such "small" thing like GBA?

If you're not willing to go through the links and do some actual reading, than don't. We will wait till one of the real Dolphin devs shows up here who can understand what these web pages are talking about.

Read everything that was linked to, I cannot hand-feed you the info. The ideas talked about in these threads have never been talked about before, if you cannot find a way to make them useful then you're not trying hard enough.

You need to know how the Wii-mote talks to PC's, Look to the Wii-mote for answers. They have already written programs that talk to Wii-motes and there is no reason why it can't be used to talk to the emulator.

Now, you're fun, and just making a fool of yourself. I wrote a Bluetooth reading interface for a wiimote not too long ago, due to me not finding a library that had the features that I needed.

You can't hand feed me anything, as you obviously don't know even where to look for proper information: first you should look on the devkitppc from the devkitpro project, which has a working wiimote driver for their free sdk. Of course you didn't know that because you're not a coder, so stop trying to fool anyone on thinking that you can show me something that I don't know.

The exact problem is how the wii hardware works with the wiimote, not how the wiimote works, and the information you put there is just about the wiimote.

It's clear enough now, or you want to keep this discussion about something you ignore?

Well do you really bevlieve the Devs haven't allready looked up these sites on there own?
It'S still not the problem about the communication between PC+Mote... as the emu "emulates" the WII there must be the communication between WII+Mote even if the emu "runs" (just runs) un a PC.
Emagine PC (all kind of them) like the human race and the consoles like animals. There is no easy way to understand how these animals communicate with each other, just by knowing that a dog barks! got it?

I'll leave the further explanation to you guys. This is like talking to some wall!

Forgive me, I guess the fact that these guys hacked and published the Wii protocols is of no use to you.

For the third time, it's not the wii-wiimote communication information you've got there, only the wiimote signaling, which is pretty useless for emulation of the wii itself. Can you read (and understand), or are you just giving random answers?

Alright, it is now re sized to the bs limits. I haven´ had dial up in 8 years, and my family, according to standards, is poor. Which means the standards is bs...
