wii mote working in all respects but pointer

**ulao** · (This post was last modified: 12-16-2011, 09:59 AM by ulao.)

I can shake the wii mote, it plays sound, and all buttons work. For some reason the pointer is not working with or without the motion plus add-on. Is there any way to test the wii mote out side the game?

You need a sensor bar.
Search the forums for sensor bar for many solutions.

Sorry I for got to mention I have one. Battery powered , with new batteries and light indicator its on. I also tried bottom mounting to be sure it was not a distance issue. I tried a few other light sources for kicks.

Did some more testing:
if I go right up to a source of light, flash light for example , the pointer goes nutz. So I think its an IR issue.
I tried a few candles and that too didnt work.
Tried M galaxy 1 and 2 and skyward with the motion plus. all dont seem to work.
My device shows up as ( Nintendo RVL-CNT-01)

----Found this on another topic
"please try this build of dolphin if you are having trouble connecting non-nintendo wiimotes (on windows): https://min.us/lVwefgFOiXF8d"
Can anyone direct me to a build like this for a 32 bit os?

I also read some pages that had some download links for test the IR with non dolphin apps, is there anything out there I can try. Most of what I sayw was date back to 2010.

Huh so I just mapped the mouse ( using hybird ) and I was able to pass the pointer test screen on skyward by using the mouse. Then on the name selection screen I can sort of move the pointer with the wand, but its like the mouse is fighting it. So I change back to real wii mote and now I have to reconfigure. Stuck in a loop, kinda sucks... And it seems it will work on some games for a slip second. My guess is the wand I have has compatibility issues.

Can anyone help me find this build in 32 bit?

Ok, I was able to get in game oh hy-bird mode ( mouse as IR ) then on the name screen I left it on hi-bird but removed all mouse controller ( middle click ), now in game the IR work. This is so confusing?

Ok so a bought a original remote and it does not work also. Now I just happened to have my tree-lights on in the next room. These are 3 100 watt hanging lights. I noticed if I point the wii mote at them it works.

So, what gives? Why do I need such powerful lights to use this thing? The Bar ( battery powered ) does not work, two flash lights no go, and candle are out. Com-on, I need 100 watt lights?

Obviously not, so what could it be?

UPDATE: I just remembered my entertainment system has over head lights and 40 watts did the trick. Still, I'd like the bar to do its job as I sill have an issue, way too sensitive, is it normal to take 30 seconds to focus in on a fine target? Getting closer does not help and the sensitivity setting just make the delay more noticeable.
