Hi there! Some friends and I are aiming to begin a 32 track Mario Kart Wii TAS. Mario Kart Wii has been a competitive TASing scene, evolving to include more and more precise driving. We began using the Gamecube TAS Input to make incredibly precise drift angles.
It's been known for a very long time that the Wii Wheel actually has a tighter drift than the Gamecube controller, so the major stall for there not being a MKW TAS is the fact that there isn't a proper WiiMote TAS Input.

Two people have confirmed with real wiimotes hooked up to Dolphin that the real wiimote is capable of getting all of those tturn radii that GCN TAS input has.

Quote:So, in GCN TAS input, there are 14 horizontal inputs.The wheel TAS Input is only capable of 0, ±4, and ±7, when we reckon it should be able to do all of the inputs that the above text mentioned.
Dasher told me some things about the input values in Mario Kart Wii (such as the -7 to 7 range and miniturbo releases), so I decided to try a few things out.
Going with drift radius (this was me doing a right drift while holding the same inputs the entire time): from the values 205-255 on Dolphin TAS Input, the drift radius is the exact same, as well as the miniturbo release
Ranges where the drift radius is the same (right drift if holding the same inputs):
205-255 (7) - This is the tightest drift radius
197-204 ( 6)
188-196 (5)
179-187 (4)
170-178 (3)
161-169 (2)
152-160 (1)
113-151 ( 0)
105-112 (-1)
96-104 (-2)
87-95 (-3)
78-86 (-4)
69-77 (-5)
60-68( -6)
0-59 (-7) - This is the widest drift radius
Ranges where the miniturbo release time is the same (right drift if holding the same inputs):
170-255 (takes about a second to charge)
0-169 (takes a little over two seconds to charge)
So it seems the range is typically 8 to 9 frames (except for the outer ranges of TAS input, which have a much larger range). I'll test left drift after this post. It's probably the same ranges as above but mirrored numerically.
