Hey everybody

First post on the forums
Mainly because I don't like to bother people with questions
I usually stick to the faqs and search the message boards for posts that will usually help me out
But I've been looking for awhile now and cant really find an answer to my question

Dolphin's been running great on my system (it's awesome btw)
But just recently I've been wondering whether I should buy a Wii remote for my laptop
I've figured out how I'll be able to connect it
So that's no problem
I'm just wondering if I would have to by the sensor as well
My laptop comes with a built in Consumer IR Port
Does that make a difference Undecided
IR is kinda like bluetooth but not the same. If you want to play games which require the sensor bar (or want to play them with it) then you'll need to buy or make one. However, many games don't require it.
