Your PC is a little more high end than mine so i would suspect it would run Skyward Sword without a hitch!

My question, does the sensor bar need to be plugged into anything, or does it just have to sit there for calibration purposes? I bought a silicon chip bluetooth dongle, cheap one i hope it works ok - any thoughts on this?

Hey Darew,

You'll have to rip the disk first, and make it into an ISO before you can play it.
You have two options:

1. Rip the disk via your softmodded Wii.
2. Purchase a specific dvd device and rip the disk with special software such as Rawdump.

You'll need one of these specific models:
LG-8164b
LG-8163b
LG-8162b
LG-8161b

You don't need a sensor bar that plugs in your PC.
All you need is an IR source that emits enough IR-light. (that's why candles and other gadgets work aswell).

I'm sorry, I never tried playing with a real wiimote.
But if Dolphin recognizes it, it should be fine.
