We shoulda bought a real Wiimote

31 Mar 2014

Good News

  • The wii classic controller and then filter came in!!!
  • We also got the funding requests in for the Food Button ## Bad News ## The knock off wiimote doesn’t seem to handle the classic controller extension properly. I haven’t tested it with an actual wii…but I did test it against hid-wiimote as well as the dolphin emulator (linux).

When I tested hid-wiimote

  • Real Wiimote + Real Classic Controller : Worked
  • Real Wiimote + Fake Classic Controller : Worked
  • Fake Wiimote + Real Classic Controller : Only joystick works
  • Fake Wiimote + Fake Classic Controller : Only joystick works

When I tested dolphin

  • Fake Wiimote refused to stay connected….

Theories

While it may just be that the fake wiimote doesn’t properly talk to the classic controller, it may be that the driver is screwing up. If I or someone else gets particularly inspired…. we can look if any packets are being sent when the buttons get clicked.
