The biggest problem I've found is automatically pairing the wiimote to the pc when you boot up. It's a pain to have to pair it manually each time you power up your cabinet.

But that linked article does have a lot of good info in it. I'll be rereading it thoroughly...

Best option for guns?  Maybe...never tried.  I've used GunCon2's for a while and don't have too many complaints.  I can play through glass and be as close or far as I want.  The guns that use sensor bars require that you stand a minimum distance back to work.  I suspect they would track better overall, but I wouldn't want to be ~5 feet back in order to play.  But hey, if you already have the stuff it's worth a try.  It costs nothing to plug it in and try the software...

What ever happened to the gun device DAVID FOLEY (google do your thing) is/was going to produce?   Is it available?  Does it work?

Have there been reports of the WiiMote and Wii MotionPlus combination, being succesfully interfaced to a PC ?
