Wiimote , Bluetooh Remote requirements

[ProfessorKaos64]

Can anyone kindly post what are the steps to connecting my Wiimote and nunchuck? I know I need a: wiimote, nunchuch if applicable, bluetooth adapter, toshiba bluetooth stack, and possible a sensor bar.

Do I have the list of things right and how do I get started??? Thanks!

Thank you so much, was trying to search for this, but didn't get the search terms just right. The last thing, the sensor bar, is that needed for any game? I heard people here buying the nyko sensor bar

Also that guide, BlueSolei 2.3? Webpage link does not work, also site it comes from requires me to pay for the plugin when i found the toshiba stack for free?

Yes,you will need a sensor bar and nunchuck ,most game use them
I'm using Bluesoleil ver 6.4 to connect 4 wiimote ,it's the best software so far although you have to buy it (toshiba stack is ok too)

I have seen a lot of videos showing how to pair the remote, and people here, with just the bluetooth dongle. Care to explain why exactly I need the nyko sensor bar? http://www.wiiprojects.org/bluetooth.html, which is prob old because of the Bluesoleil version, doesn't mention it nor does this site? If so I missed it I suppose, thanks for bearing with me.

almost any CSR bluetooth dongle will work.

you need IR emitters for the wiimote cursor/pointer functions to work though which is what the nyko sensor bar is for.

The original Nintendo sensor bar can't be plugged to PC unless you modify it to USB (that's what i did) , Nyko use battery
The so called "sensor bar " isn't a sensor bar , it won't sensor anything but emit infrared LED that your normal TV remote uses.Wii remote has a camera which catch ir LED then allow you to use the Wii remote like a pointer (for shooting game or get the star in SMG)
I recall some games use it : Metroid Other M , Mario Party , Mario Kart ,Super Mario Galaxy ....and alot more

Ok, ill get the nyko sensor bar, is there any setup involved that I should know when I get it? Im trying to decide with bluetooh stack to buy, Bluesoleil or Toshiba....Thanks

I saw this thread: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=13861&highlight=bluetooth, win 7 has innate bluetooth pickup, so there is no need for blueseleil if I dont use XP

Two burning candles are working as sensor bar replacement fine too
