Title: Using your Wii Remote on your pc (Half life 2 video inside) and Linux
Post by: stephenp1983 on December 06, 2006, 10:57:46 am
Looks like all you need to use your wiimote on your pc is a blue tooth adapter and the drivers that have already been made.  In the video below it shows it being used to play half life 2.  This looks awsome check on some of the other sites as well, it looks like they are working on a linux distro for the wii as well.
