  1. does anyone else have a lot of trouble hooking their wiimotes up to a pc? it's driving me insane.

    1. @rarity I think the wii remotes use Bluetooth, but I'm not really sure to to be honest since I haven't used one on a computer yet.

      1. @tekkdan they do, but the connection keeps dropping.

        1. @rarity Does your computer have an internal bluetooth adapter?

          Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:08:25 UTC from web
          1. @northernnarwhal yup.

            1. @rarity In theory in should work, but I've never tried myself, so I'm not too sure.

                  Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:12:37 UTC from web

                    1. @rarity Is your computer giving you the option to add it as a device?

                      Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:14:31 UTC from web
                      1. @northernnarwhal I can add it as a device, and set up the controls in glovePIE, but then it doesn't do anything in the emulators.

                        Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:17:13 UTC from web
                        1. @rarity Did you configure the input in the emulator?

                          Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:17:41 UTC from web
                          1. @northernnarwhal of course.

                            1. @rarity And (this is a stupid question) it's set to player 1?

                              Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:18:48 UTC from web
                              1. @northernnarwhal yeah.

                                1. @rarity Are there fresh batteries in the wii mote?

                                  Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:21:19 UTC from web

                                    1. @rarity Does the wii mote connect with your wii?

                                      Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:23:59 UTC from web

                                        Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:24:38 UTC from web
                                        1. @rarity Alright, so we know it's not a problem with the remote itself. I'm trying to think of any other possibility as to why it's not working...

                                          Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:25:47 UTC from web

                                            2. @rarity I guess if you really have to you could try using a program that makes the controller like a keyboard/mouse.

                                              Tuesday, 05-Feb-13 01:28:29 UTC from web
