Wii Mote Clone for PC. Cab Friendly? Stix
mhermann:
I posted on their forums and sent an email to them saying I would like to develop for their product hoping to get some more info. But they didn't respond to either. My gut feeling is that this will not be a good solution.

I tried calling them a couple of times and could never get a real person. I left a couple of messages and so far haven't gotten a call back... not a very good sign.
This one does look interesting though. A bit expensive but interesting...

So Mark Shaker, care to test the use of that Wavit in mame? Or at a minimum how is it recognized in Windows? As a mouse? Joystick? Wondering if 2 of them could be hooked up. But that setup would cost like $220. A little steep.

I uninstalled their fancy multi-function software (which was a bit flaky). With just the driver installed, Windows sees it as a mouse.
I wooted mine for $69. Still expensive, but better than $99.
I'll install MAME on my living room PC and try a couple light gun games on Sunday.

BTW: I bought the WaveIt as my media center mouse only after using my WiiMote with a Bluetooth Dongle and the WiinRemote driver on my PC.
After changing the WiinRemote driver to use the optical sensor rather than the motion sensor and assigning "double click" to the trigger: The WiiMote made an *awesome* PC mouse.
There was only one problem: I had to manually pair the WiiMote with my PC every time I turned the PC on.
If it was not for that issue, I would have stayed with the WiiMote. If your only going to do occasional gaming and don't mind going through the pairing process before each gaming session: You would be better off buying a WiiMote for $40 and a Bluetooth Dongle for $10.
