non-original Wiimote

[theboywhonose]

hey ho..
i've got a little "problem" concerning dolphin and i hope someone in here can help me .

at the moment i'm using dolphin with an xbox 360 gamepad and everything works fine.
now i've got zeldakyward sword from a friend and i managed to get it to work with my controller and an emulated motion plus, but it's almost impossible to aim or move the sword correctly. I also want to play some other games with wiimote support, so i think about buying a real wiimote.
the problem is that i don't want to spend about 60$ for an original wiimote plus & nunchuck set, so i think about buying a non-original wiimote like this.

so here are my qestions: will dolphin support non-original wiimotes?
do i have to buy a sensor bar? i heared that two candles would work too. i already have have a bluetooth dongle, so i would just have to buy the wimote set if candles would work.

thank you

oh, i forgot a question.. i didn't find an edit-button, so i'm sorry for the double-posting .

is dolphin able to deal with a real motion plus? is it possible to play e.g. wii sports resort via dolphin and the previously linked wiimote without problems? or is motion-plus support not given ( like motion plus emulation is officially not possible ^^ ) ?

I'll answer only what I know:

Dolphin already supports some third-party Wiimotes.
I don't exactly know which work and which don't, so I'll let someone else handle that.

Yes, you can use candles or anything that emits enough Infrared light; such as Christmas decorations (as proven on the forums).

Yes, and you already knew that. You are going to play Skyward Sword, which requires MotionPlus, with a real Wiimote.
Any questions regarding Skyward Sword and real Wiimotes should go here.
It should work perfectly fine. Some users have beaten the game with the real controls.

ok, thank you.
is there a list of all the supportet third party wiimotes? if the one i linked would work i'd order it right now . Do lioncast-wiimotes work? if yes i'd get this set.

and i didn't know that dolphin supports real motion plus-wiimotes... that's why i asked ^^.

Hi,I am interested too in your question .. it would be useful to make a list of the supported 3rd party wiimotes..please let me know if you have news, I also want to buy the first wiimote that you have linked

[theboywhonose]

sry, i wasn't able to find an answer yet.
i guess i'll have to order the wiimote and try it myself.

if your not wimote or not your sensor bar for Wii, so it's illegal hacking is prohibited

[theboywhonose]

what do you mean?
why should it be illegal to buy a wiimote if i do not own a wii?
then it would also be illegal to buy cd-s if i wouldn't have a cd-player, that doesn't make sense.
or did i misunderstand you?
afaik i didn't hack anything and i'm not going hack anything if i connect the wiimote to my pc.

[theboywhonose]

ok, now i've tried a 3rd party wiimote a friend gave me.
it connects to the pc and gets recognized by dolphin, but as soon as i start a game itsometimes doesn't respond, disconnects immediately or if it works it vibrates and doesn't respond.
i guess that's because it's a 3rd party controller, so i guess i'll have to buy a real wiimote -.- .
if anyone uses a 3rd party wiimote succesfully, pls tell me which one you use .

[theboywhonose]

ok, i bought an original wiimote plus.
unfortunately it is a TR-version, but i managed to get it to work with xoppas workaround.
now i just have one last question: using it with candles doesn't work really well, i guess because there's a window behind my monitor.
if i bought a sensor bar, would the pointer work if sun shines in my window?
