EA Sports Active 2 USB dongle - linux

[Episteme]

Hi,

I have the Wii EA Sports Active 2 USB dongle which connects wirelessly to a heart rate monitor and motion sensor. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it working...

I am useing Dolphin version 4.0-2554, Linux Mint 17 64bit.

I've read on the Wiki that it should work, but can't seem to find a 'how-to' anywhere. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Basically, you have to install libusb on the USB dongle. There are some instructions here:

It should work similarly under Linux.

Once libusb is installed, start up Dolphin and the game will detect the monitor.

Thanks for the reply, grateful for your assistance.

Right - get the driver installed. Makes sense, thanks. Unfortunately, there is no port of that driver/install script (zadig) for linux... but, I've managed to discover lsusb, and can now scan my usb devices - so I'm off to a good start. I'll keep you posted as I develop a solution.
