Yep, 12v. Randy includes a molex plug to run them off the PC power supply.

Haven't made any progress this weekend. :'(

These came in toward the end of the week, but I don't have them working yet.

Walther P99 replica wii controllers ordered from amazon.de

I'm starting with wiimouse and if I can't get them working with that I'll move onto glovepie.
I'm hoping the problem is my ancient bluetooth adapter and not the 3rd party controllers themselves.
The "newest" driver for the bluetooth dongle is dated 2006, :lol

I haven't seen anyone using them with a PC before.
I give myself a 50/50 chance of them working and not being horrible.
They are standard controllers and don't support wii motion plus,
but I didn't know anything about wii controllers when I ordered them.
Probably should have done more research first, .....but they look so cool. 8)

If I get them working with the PC, I'll post a full review and video.
The short version is that they look awesome, but make a plastic on plastic rattling sound when shaken.

There is other feature creep in the works as well. ::)
Most likely the rest of the cabinet will be 100% complete before diving into the CP.
Not the best way to go about things, but I work on whatever I feel like at the time.

You kidding? That's probably the _best_ way to do it. Everyone knows that as soon as you get the CP up and working, progress tends to grind to a halt.

This way, once you get that done, you're _DONE_ and get to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Really digging this one, good work so far!

Right next to where I'm working on this, I have a separate setup consisting of a modified x-arcade tankstick and act labs guns that plays more games than this will,
so that rule doesn't necessarily apply to me. :P

Still, playing the games on a rotated screen with killer sound is going to be a different experience and I can't wait. ;D
