Wiimote Drivers For Windows

WiiThe Wiimote now works on Windows"¦sort of. A person from Australia made drivers for it, without even having one to test with. The up down left and right keys are working so far, and are represented as the standard AWSD keys. While this may not be a huge deal, it will eventually work with the nunchuk as well. Playing emulated games will be awesome on your PC. To get this working you'll need a blue tooth adapter, and his software. Even though he hasn't tested his code, numerous people are reporting that it's working. If anyone is curious it was made in Delphi, and the source is not available at this time.

From a forum, someone has posted an easy version of the directions:

Run the program(GlovePIE.exe)
go to file>open
select TestWiimote.PIE and click open
press run

TestWiimote.PIE has by default the accelerometer values in the "debug = " which you can see in the textbox on upper right, you can add to or replace
"Wiimote.RawForceX+', '+Wiimote.RawForceY+', '+Wiimote.RawForceZ"
with the strings below to see other outputs

The directions the author gives are kind of weak, and those explain it a little better. He's asking for help completing it, so if anyone wants to finish it, feel free to jump in :)

Update: Here is a video of it working in action
