(Wii U without Wii mode won't work, because it will turn off the sensor bar when no Wii Remotes are connected or when you are in a game that doesn't use the IR.) If that isn't possible (because your console isn't close to your PC), I think you have to solder or something...
There are also USB-powered and battery-powered third-party sensor bars available for purchase.
Yeah, I saw something about using a Wii/Wii U when I was looking into this stuff on my own. Do you know how effective it is compared to the Dolphin Bar? In terms of performance, latency, connectivity, etc.
