AimTrak and Wiimote sensor bar

[stigzler]

Setting up Dolphin. If I get some Wiimotes - will they work with the AimTrak IR bar rather than the Wii Sensor Bar?

any advice appreciated.

The WiiMotes don't care WHAT they see as long as it's at least two distinct lights.  I've screwed around and used WiiMotes with a pair of candles sitting on top of my TV.  All the 'Mote is looking for is a stationary pair of lights to calibrate off of so you can use literally anything you want.

I just tried with the Aimtrak bar and it worked.

In my living room, the Wiimote sensor bar faces the couch, but I can't see it from the kitchen (I have a TV in there for when I'm cooking).  However, my cab faces the kitchen, so when I'm watching Netflix I just aim the Wiimote at the cab.  I've done this for so long I hardly think about it anymore.

A while back we had a party and a fair amount of folks brought their kids.  We had the cab going in the living room along with fighting games on the PS2, but there were still a couple of hands without controllers; so I added the Wii to the mix by piping the signal to a bedroom TV, then I placed two candles on top of the TV (a'la Slippyblade). Instant sensor bar.

So would this work the other way around then, would the AimTrak work with a Wii Sensor Bar?

Just tried it and it did not work at all.
