Iphone as wii remote?? - ViP3r - 05-26-2009
Hi everyone im new here!
I was just researching the use of the iphone as a wii remote since it has the accellerometre its capable of being used as a substitute. I then considered its use with an emulator on the pc!
Any thoughts??

No it isn't, and I doubt there will ever be either. The only options is a Wiimote and sensor bar, or mapping Wii controls to gamepad using Xpadder or Joy2Key.
I'm fairly certain the Wiimote functions quite a bit different than the iphone despite them both having an accelerometer. Just buy a Wiimote and sensor bar, it works great with many games.
It just isn't worth the time to implement such a feature if it could be implemented because either not too many people using Dolphin own an iphone and if they do, using it on Dolphin is the last thing they are thinking about since Wiimote emulation is essentially perfect as it is except a few small quirks here and there.
