Wiimote via cable, possible?

While it is built for bluetooth I wonder if there's possible either home make or buy a cable that would go from Wii mote to Classic Controller hub then to the computer through USB Port. This would make it a lot more stable but I don't know if the interface that Nunchuck uses to connect to the Wiimote (and Wii CC) could support that kind of remake.

Anyone got any info at all about this? Bluetooth seems so unstable and you need quite a bit of luck to get it work.

You can't use a wiimote without bluetooth.

People that have problems probably have poor bluetooth adapters.
I haven't had any problems using a wiimote, bluetooth headphones, and a bluetooth mouse simultaneously.

Ok. I have one of these:

I didn't find it in that "these adapters work with Wii". Could you post what kind of adapter you got and what bluetooth stack?

I'm just using the bluetooth module that came with my laptop with BlueSoleil.
I have successfully used it with the Windows XP and 7 bluetooth stacks as well.

Are you able to connect 2 wiimotes at once with that adapter?

That's the one I have, it looks exactly like that one at least. Anyway, I don't seem to have any direct issues with the adapter, it's more of the software. Toshiba's trial works the best, I have tried with a few others game on other emulators with GlovePIE but I guess the biggest problem I have is the dolphin emulator (which is strange, I had no trouble when it came to controls during playtime with MP1 and MP2 although they are made for GC so could be a difference).

Yob@I haven't tried two wiimotes, I don't have that but I was able to connect to my wiimote plus my phone so it's not that weak at least. Wink
