So what I did was I hooked up my old Wii and set the sensor bar on top of my monitor. It works and catches the signal but the pointer is very fidgety..by this I mean it disappears and reappears, flies all over the place and it just fiddles around A LOT making it impossible to be in a precise place for gameplay. Could this be the problem of the sensor bar? It's quite old and had been stuffed away for quite some time in a cabinet
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
