Using the dolphin bar and some Wii motes to emulate a vive controller.

[redstonegenious]

I know that this does not really have to do with the dolphin emulator. But considering how this community has the most knowledge about the Dolphin bar's API that I think it is my best shot. I am currently trying to find a way to play Beatsabers without having to fork over $500 (or whatever it costs for a Vive headset). I know of an app called trinusVR that allows you to use your phone as a VR headset. And it is capable of making steam think that it is a Vive headset. And I don't get motion sickness so that isn't a problem. But the problem with this is the controllers used as the plasma swords for the game. And they are still a few hundred bucks last time i've checked. And I thought the Wii motes, (at least the version with the Wii motion+ addition) would be a great substitute. But I am nowhere near skilled enough of a programmer to dream how to make this happen. So, if someone would like to make this idea a reality. And I know it will undergo a LONG development cycle like how dolphin did before it becomes reasonably good. I would be most appreciative. And I don't really trust using a direct Bluetooth adapter because of A: I don't have enough PCI-E slots for a Bluetooth card so I am using a cheap USB one. And B: on my old computer, which did have a proper PCI Bluetooth setup, ended up corrupting the Wiimote's firmware and I had to go and buy a new controller to get it to work again.

Moved to Delfino Plaza, since it's not about Dolphin itself.

There is no dolphinbar API.

There is no way to use wiimotes to do what you're hoping to do. The controllers need VR space 6 DOF tracking in order to work. That's impossible with Wiimotes.

Buy a cheap WMR headset if you want to play Beat Saber. This is the only way you're going to play Beat Saber, sorry. Acer sells a reasonable one for $240 USD.

Locking this because literally nothing interesting or productive will come out of this.
