PC as a controller to a real Wii - Chatty - 02-15-2010
Hi,
would it be possible, that a PC would act as a controller to a real Wii? Why you ask? Well, I own a XBOX360 guitar and PC receiver.
If the PC could act as a controller we'd only need a translating proxy, right? When all this is done, we'd port the source to MIPSel and have that proxy run on my router (which is on 24/7 anyways). *dreamin*
Cheers.

Since there's 3rd party wiimotes, it can probably be done, but unlikely someone will consider it worth the trouble. Would be more usefull with a hack to use Xbox 360 controllers through the Wii's USBs (If THAT is possible... IDK...)
Btw this isn't Dolphin relevant...

LOL why don't we stick together parts of wii and pc hardware and play real wii on PC?
O wait, someone did happen to suggest that...

Well... I stuck my XBOX360 receiver into my Wii and the LED lit up. Unfortunately (but expected) the controller (a guitar) could not make a connection.
We got a driver for Linux already... so who's taking the challenge?

If that's the case, then you would need someone able to program on the Wii platform.
Maybe you'll have more luck in any homebrew forums.
