    • Fix: Make sure the wire from your sensor bar is plugged into the small red port on the back of the Wii console.
    • Once it’s properly connected, place the sensor bar above or below your TV. Make sure nothing is blocking it. You should be able to clearly see your sensor bar as you use the console.
    • If your Wii remote still doesn’t work, turn the console off, then on again. Try pairing your remote.

Приставке Nintendo Wii в этом году исполняется пять лет. Маленький, но всё-таки юбилей. Тем не менее она до сих пор успешно продаётся, а многомиллионные продажи за прошедшие годы лишний раз подтверждают, что продукт получился на редкость удачным. Любопытно, что приставка ни тогда, ни тем более сейчас не отличалась какой-то умопомрачительной графикой и физикой в играх, да и на фоне Sony PS3 и MS Xbox 360 её технические характеристики смотрятся довольно блекло. Секрет успеха кроется в новой модели взаимодействия человека с игрой за счёт использования Wii Remote — контроллера, который может определять своё положение в пространстве и тем самым даёт совершенно иные возможности управления игровым миром, нежели традиционные геймпады с кучей кнопок.

Однако рано или поздно любая технологическая новинка приедается и переходит сначала в разряд привычных, а потом уже и морально устаревших вещей. Если вам надоела Wii (хотя как могут надоесть Wii Sports?), то можно дать вторую жизнь если не самой приставке, то хотя бы её замечательному контроллеру, который мы подключим к ПК под управлением Windows 7 и немного поэкспериментируем. Тот, кто уже интересовался этой тематикой, вряд ли найдёт для себя что-то новое в этой статье. К тому же часть проектов уже не поддерживается энтузиастами. Однако тем, кто никогда не задумывался о такой возможности, должно быть интересно.

Wii Remote подключается к приставке с помощью Bluetooth, а значит ничто не мешает подсоединить его к обычному компьютеру. Естественно, у вас должен быть Bluetooth-адаптер. Можно воспользоваться стандартными средствами Windows 7 для подключения контроллера. Кликаем правой кнопкой по соответствующей иконке в трее и выбраем пункт «Добавить новое устройство» (то же самое можно сделать и через панель управления в разделе «Устройства и принтеры»). На Wii Remote в это же время надо одновременно зажать кнопки 1 и 2 или нажать небольшую красную кнопочку, которая находится рядом с батарейным отсеком. Все четыре светодиода начнут синхронно мигать. В течение нескольких секунд Windows опознает контроллер как Nintendo RVL-CNT-01.

Кликаем «Далее», выбираем режим соединения без ввода кода.

Снова «Далее» и «Закрыть». Всё, контроллер подключен.

Есть вероятность, что Wii Remote при таком способе подключения будет не совсем корректно работать — например, постоянно отсоединяться, а то и вовсе не подсоединяться. В этом случае придётся воспользоваться платным программным набором IVT BlueSoleil версии 6.4.249.0 или более новой его сборкой. После установки и перезагрузки в области уведомлений появится значок BlueSoleil. Кликаем по нему правой кнопкой, выбираем пункт «Проводник Bluetooth-окружения» и в открывшемся окне запускаем «Поиск устройств» либо нажимаем F5. Снова одновременно зажимаем кнопки 1 и 2 на контроллере, и через несколько секунд он появится среди распознанных устройств. Осталось только дважды кликнуть по иконке джойстика, чтобы окончательно наладить связь с контроллером. Аналогичным образом (зажать 1 и 2, кликнуть дважды по значку) Wii Remote надо будет подключать и в будущем. Посмотреть состояние подключения можно, выбрав соответствующий пункт в меню, которое вызывается правым кликом по иконке устройства.

Первым делом для проверки работоспособности надо будет скачать архив с библиотекой WiimotLib, в котором есть приложение WiimoteTesе. Его-то и надо запустить после распаковки. Если контроллер неправильно подключен, то оно выдаст ошибку. В противном случае вы увидите окно, в котором показывается вся текущая активность Wii Remote. Помашите контроллером, понажимайте на нём кнопки — всё это будет отображаться в окне программы. Кстати, для диагностики её можно держать запущенной постоянно. Если все циферки в Wiimote Accel и IR замерли, значит что-то пошло не так.

Простейший вариант использования Wii Remote с ПК — это замена мыши. Для этого надо будет скачать приложение WiinRemote для Windows или DarwiinRemote для Mac OS X. Запуск режима эмуляции мыши осуществляется нажатием на кнопку B с нижней стороны контроллера. Никаких особых настроек делать не придётся.

DarwiinRemote на пару с WiiToMidi можно любопытнейшим образом использовать для управления аудио- и видеоэффектами. Фактически Wii Remote превращается в своеобразный MIDI-контроллер. В этом случае управляться с ним даже удобнее, чем использовать в качестве мыши. Аналогичного эффекта можно добиться и в Windows.

Впрочем, самым классическим приложением для взаимодействия различных нестандартных контроллеров с Windows является программа GlovePIE, изначально написанная для работы с перчаткой P5 Glove. На самом деле это довольно развесистая система, которая преобразует любые сигналы с какого-либо контроллера в понятные ОС команды. Это преобразование управляется с помощью скриптов с достаточно простым синтаксисом, так что написать собственный скрипт не очень-то и сложно. Если лень, то можно задать в Google поисковый запрос вроде «имя_программы glovepie script». Энтузиасты написали достаточное количество оных, но какого-то одного места, где их можно легко найти, уже нет. Для начала попробуйте, к примеру, скрипты за авторством Joseph Coulston.

Есть и наработки по эмуляции контроллеров старых приставок для использования совместно с эмуляторами или, например, скрипты для управления медиаплеером. Имеются и наборы для использования Wii Remote в некоторых популярных играх. В общем, ищущий да обрящет. Для использования скрипта достаточно запустить программу и вставить его текст в поле редактора на первой вкладке, а затем нажать на кнопку Run. Wii Remote уже должен быть подключен. Скрипт можно отредактировать и сохранить (File → Save), а в дальнейшем просто открывать его (File → Open). Некоторые готовые скрипты выложены в виде текстового файла с расширением .PIE, открываются они точно так же. Только надо учитывать, что между движением джойстика и реакцией на него есть некоторая задержка, пусть и очень небольшая.

Среди PC-проектов для Wii Remote нельзя не отметить Wiinstrument. Эта кроссплатформенная программа может эмулировать барабанную установку или просто проигрывать семплы. Для полноценной работы нужен ещё Wii Nunchuck. Вариантов работы два: либо по нажатию кнопок проигрывается нужная нота или звук, либо возможно имитировать контроллерами работу рук барабанщика, переключаясь с помощью кнопок между барабанами. В качестве простенького развлечения вполне сгодится, да и освоиться с программой очень легко — минут через 10 уже можно настукивать простенькие ритмы.

Наши соотечественники тоже отличились на поприще нестандартного использования джойстика Wii. Например, Дмитрий Брюхов предложил более удобный способ использования Wii Remote в качестве руля для гоночных симуляторов и написал небольшую утилиту для упрощения работы. Идея-то, конечно, далеко не нова — для оригинальной приставки уже давно выпускаются специальные пластиковые аксессуары в виде того самого руля стоимостью в пять долларов.

Предлагается использовать универсальный эмулятор джойстиков PPJoy, который можно скачать здесь. После установки драйвера запускаем из главного меню PPJoy Joystick Driver → Configure Joysticks и нажимаем кнопку Add. В появившемся окне в списке Parallel Port выбираем Virtual joysticks и жмём Add. Подождём, пока установится драйвер, а затем выбираем только что созданный джойстик и нажимаем Mapping, а затем Next.

В мастере выставляем все настройки так, как на картинках ниже.

Перед запуском игры нужно включить утилиту WiiController.exe (WiiControllerWiiControllerbinRelease), изменить по желанию уровень чувствительности и нажать Старт. Как только установится соединение с Wii Remote, будет показан уровень заряда батареи и текущие координаты в пространстве. Теперь можно запускать ваш любимый гоночный симулятор, который, конечно, должен поддерживать работу с рулем. В настройках управления надо выбрать контроллер PPJoy Virtual Joystick 1. Для поворотов влево-вправо надо будет повернуть Wii Remote в соответствующую сторону, а остальные функции распределить между кнопками так, как вам угодно. Собственно, всё — можно приступать к игре.

Наконец, последний проект, достойный внимания, — это эмулятор Nintendo Wii и GameBoy под названием Dolphin Emulator. Причём эмуляция реализована вполне прилично, лишь бы компьютер был достаточно мощным. Эмулятор в чём-то даже лучше оригинальной Wii — можно включить сглаживание и фильтрацию картинки, уменьшение пикселизации, выводить изображение в Full HD и с поддержкой стерео за счёт NVIDIA 3D Vision. Самое главное, конечно, возможность одновременного подключения до четырёх Wii Remote (с Motion Plus и Nunchuck). Скорее всего, понадобится ещё и Sensor Bar. Проект постоянно улучшается и развивается — устраняются «баги», наращивается производительность, добавляются новые возможности. В общем, определённо стоит попробовать.

На этом, пожалуй, можно закончить, так как количество проектов, которые используют Wii Remote в качестве контроллера для чего-либо, очень много, и перечислять их все особого смысла нет. Выше собраны наиболее колоритные и простые в реализации примеры. Есть крайне интересные проекты, для которых придётся, как минимум, докупить или сделать самому указку с ИК-диодом, а то и взяться за инструменты. Всем заинтересовавшимся этой темой рекомендуется посетить сайт Wiimote Project, а также поискать на SourceForge или Google Code. Если у вас нет контроллера, то его легко можно купить — в России набор из Wii Remote с Nunchuck обойдётся в 2-3 тысячи рублей, но лучше поискать OEM-аналоги, например, на Dealextreme. Удачных экспериментов!

Released only a year after the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the Wii Remote Plus is a Wii Remote with the MotionPlus addon built into the Wii Remote. Unfortunately, shortly after the Wii Remote Pluses came out, a new Wii Remote Plus type appeared. Whereas the standard Wii Remotes and the very first Wii Remote Pluses register as RVL-CNT-01, the new Wii Remotes register as RVL-CNT-01-TR. What exactly changed is unknown, but all -TR Wii Remotes may need additional hardware/software to work with Dolphin. Since all Wii Remotes for sale in stores since 2011 are -TR Wii Remotes, this has become a growing problem. Fortunately, they can work with Dolphin — with some special requirements. This guide tells you how to connect and use a RVL-CNT-01-TR Wii Remote Plus in Dolphin.

Note that the very first Wii Remote Pluses, such as those included in FlingSmash and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, are not RVL-CNT-01-TR Wii Remotes. For this reason, this guide will not use the blanket «Wii Remote Plus» term, but will use «-TR Wii Remote» to refer to the RVL-CNT-01-TR Wii Remotes specifically. While the addition of the sync button on the battery cover is the common way to tell non-TR Wii Remote Pluses from -TR Wii Remote Pluses, even that is not 100% reliable. The only way to know for sure to is connect it to a computer and see if it is registered as RVL-CNT-01-TR.

Bluetooth Passthrough Mode

In the Bluetooth Passthrough mode, -TR Wii Remotes are not an issue at all. Refer to Bluetooth Passthrough for details.

Linux

Linux (> 3.11) does not require any special treatment. Use the normal connecting methods shown in Configuring Controllers.

Since 5.0-876, the DolphinBar can also be used on Linux.

macOS

macOS does not require any special hardware or software. It only requires a device be paired beforehand.

  1. Open Bluetooth Settings and click the plus (+) sign to set up a new device.
  2. While it is scanning, press the red sync button on the back of the controller. All four lights on the front of the controller should be flashing.
  3. Back in the Bluetooth Settings, hit «Continue» and wait for it to fail.
  4. Select ‘Passcode Options’ and choose «Do not use a passcode with this device». Click «OK» and then click «Quit».
  5. Double check in the Bluetooth menu to be certain that the controller is registered.

Once the pairing process is completed, the controller will be usable on Dolphin, as further instruction is available in the Configuring Controllers guide. However the red Sync button must be pressed instead of 1 + 2 every time to connect.

El Capitan

Since the El Capitan update, Bluetooth pairing requires a passcode. To get the Bluetooth passcode you must find the Bluetooth address of the Wii remote.

  1. Open System Preferences —> Bluetooth.
  2. Press the red sync button on the back of the Wii remote.
  3. After pairing fails, right-click on the device and look for the field «address».
  4. Record the address backwards (e.g. 00-1B-7A-D9-72-0E would be «e0279da7b10»).
  5. Use a Hexadecimal-to-ASCII table or convertor (such as this one) to get ASCII text.
  6. Go back to Bluetooth settings, find the Wii remote device and click on options.
  7. Under «Passcode» paste/write the ASCII text into the field (ignore non-character such as «NULL» or «STX»).
  8. Press the red sync button on the back of the Wii remote and click pair.
  9. If pairing fail, restart the computer and try pairing again.
  10. If pairing continues to fail, see below.

If Pairing Fails

For some people, pairing using the method above does not work. If this is the case open Dolphin, click on «Controller», select «Real WiiMote» from the Wiimote settings, press the red sync button on the back of the Wii remote and hit «refresh» under «Real Wiimote».

Windows

Windows includes the MS Bluetooth Stack and most Bluetooth adapters use it by default. Starting with Dolphin 4.0-8325, if you’re using Windows 8 or newer, all you need to do to connect -TR Wii Remotes is the typical Wii Remote connectivity as described in Configuring Controllers. If you’re running Windows 7 or earlier you’ll have a previous version of MS Bluetooth Stack that lacks some Bluetooth functions which the -TR Wii Remote uses. In that case you have two solutions for this problem, the DolphinBar or the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack. Both have superior Bluetooth functionality and not only allow -TR Wii Remotes to work, but also fix minor Wii Remote bugs that are present in the MS Bluetooth Stack used on Windows 7 and earlier.

DolphinBar

The Mayflash DolphinBar is a combination Bluetooth adapter and Sensor Bar. It doesn’t reveal any of the Bluetooth information to the operating system, instead sending HID packets directly to Dolphin without a Bluetooth Stack, thus allowing -TR support, syncing of Wii Remotes, and other features superior to what the Toshiba Stack can offer. However, since it does this, it is only useful for supported Wii controllers, and cannot be used as a full Bluetooth adapter. Full details are available in the DolphinBar Hardware Review, and links to purchase one are available on our Recommended Accessories page.

Toshiba Stack

The Toshiba Stack provides full Bluetooth on Windows 7, for everything, not just Wii Remotes, and it has full -TR support. However, it requires the additional step of connecting Wii Remotes through the Toshiba Stack instead of just through Dolphin.

The link provided below is the official download page for Toshiba Stack. Use the newest version; it has the highest known compatibility. If the newest version doesn’t work feel free to try older ones. Please be aware that Toshiba Stack will start in trial mode when using on a unsupported dongle subjected with forced driver installation, and will eventually require a supported adapter to continue use of the software.

Toshiba Stack and the Bluetooth Adapter

The Toshiba Stack only supports a limited number of Bluetooth adapters. For absolute maximum compatibility, buy a Bluetooth adapter that is specifically designed to use the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack; look for «Toshiba Bluetooth Software» somewhere on the package or for «Toshiba» in the comments on the online store. There is a small possibility that the adapter not in the list can be used with Toshiba Stack, through the installation with an edited driver file, as instructed in the later section. But please acknowledge that it is preferably for experienced users only. The instruction will be divided at some point for the users and their specific adapters throughout this guide, starting from the first step in the next section below.

Installing the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

  1. If the Bluetooth adapter is USB based, insert it before the installation.
  2. Run the extractor. Make note of where it extracts to (For future reference, %userprofile%AppDataLocalTemptc00590500a.temp). When the installer does not start, run Setup.exe from the temp folder to start the installer. There are no settings to worry about, so just click through.
    • If there is a message pop up that says «Please plug in the Bluetooth device and click OK button», make sure the Bluetooth adapter is properly inserted, and if it still happens, the Bluetooth adapter is not supported. In that case, click on the Cancel button and try to finish the Toshiba Stack setup, then continue to #Forcing the Toshiba Drivers Onto the Adapter.
    • Restart the computer when prompted.
  3. When the installer setup is completed, and for the interests of this guide, try to close any pop ups before continue.
  4. The Bluetooth Settings window can be accessed through the Start Menu or double clicking the Bluetooth icon in the notification tray. This is where the users will be interacting with the Toshiba Stack on a regular basis, and it is necessary for the next section.

    The Bluetooth Settings window

Connecting the Wii Remote Plus

  1. In the Bluetooth Settings window, press the «New Connection» button.
  2. In the «Add New Connection Wizard» window, select the «Express Mode», and hit «Next».
  3. A searching window will appear. Press the Sync button on the bottom of the -TR Wii Remote.
  4. Now click through the windows. The windows will go away and it will show the Bluetooth settings screen with «Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR». Note the green and yellow lines clasping each others: this means the Bluetooth is presently connected. The Wii Remote will continue to flash, it is normal.

    Clasped lines indicate a connected Wii Remote

The connection setup with the -TR Wii Remote is completed and will be usable with Dolphin, as further instruction is available in the Configuring Controllers guide.

  • For a quick note, because of the Toshiba Stack, it is recommended that Continuous Scanning is enabled. Dolphin will immediately detect the Wii Remote and it will be used upon starting a game.
  • Another thing to note, when turning the Wii Remote off, its device ID will remain in the Bluetooth settings window, but the yellow and green clasped lines will be gone. To reconnect the Wii Remote, just double click it. A window will pop up asking to prepare the Wii Remote once again. Click «OK» and then press the red Sync button on the bottom of the Wii Remote. It will be reconnected in a matter of seconds.

Forcing the Toshiba Drivers Onto the Adapter

If Toshiba Stack does not seem to detect the adapter and shows endless «Please plug in the Bluetooth device and click OK button» prompts, it is because the Toshiba Stack will only install its drivers onto the adapter with a matching USBVID number from the list. Naturally, the adapters not in the list are not supported and will be skipped. It is possible to make a workaround by adding the excluded adapter’s USBVID into the list.

Identifying Bluetooth Adapter’s Hardware ID

  1. Open the Device Manager (or simply run «devmgmt.msc») and find the Bluetooth adapter in the list. It will either show up as a Bluetooth radio or as an unknown device.
    • For convenience in finding it in the Device Manager, expand the categories the Bluetooth device might be in, then if the adapter is unplugged, it will disappear from the list. Plug it back in, and it will reappear into the list. In other words, the Device Manager updates live.
  2. Open its Properties (right-click → Properties), then select «Hardware Ids» in the dropdown menu from the «Details» tab. Note the second (shorter) value. This is the USBVID of the Bluetooth adapter. Copy it into the Notepad.

Editing Driver File

  1. Go to %programfiles(x86)%ToshibaBluetooth Toshiba StackDriverstosrfusb
  2. If desired, make a copy of tosrfusb.inf, and consider it as a backup.
  3. Edit tosrfusb.inf with administrator privileges. Notice that there are three long lists. The first and second lists should look something like this: %TosrfUsb.DeviceDesc###%=TosrfUsb_Device.
  4. In the bottom of the first list, copy the very last entry and make a duplicate below it. Take the number of the entry (the number immediately after «DeviceDesc») and increase it by one. Then erase the USBVID of this new entry and replace it with the one for the Bluetooth adapter that was collected from last subsection.

    An example of device file in its original unedited state

    New line is highlighted in blue

  5. Copy the newly created entry from the first list, and paste into the bottom of the second list.
  6. On the bottom of the third list, copy the last entry of the third list and make a duplicate below it. Just like before, there is a number following «DeviceDesc» and increase it by one. After this, there is a name in parentheses. Change it to the way you want to recognize it for yourself. Toshiba won’t rely on it in any way.
  7. Save the file and close it.

Disable Driver Signature Enforcement

By default, 64-bit versions of Windows does not let the users install drivers which are not signed. So, after modifying tosrfusb.inf its signature won’t be valid anymore and Windows will block the installation unless Driver Signature Enforcement is disabled. Follow these steps on Windows 7:

  1. During boot-up, continuously press F8 to get to «Advanced Boot Options».
  2. When the boot manager menu appears, use the arrow keys to select «Disable driver signature enforcement».
  3. Press «Enter» and the computer will restart Windows with the driver signature enforcement disabled.

Installing the Modified Driver Onto the Bluetooth Adapter

The first step may run into the possibility of BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Save everything and be prepared beforehand.

  1. Type «Bluetooth Settings» in the Start Menu or Start Screen and hit Enter. A Windows Security window will pop up asking to confirm installation of the unsigned drivers. Install the driver. The process may take some time, and errors may appear during it. Ignore them.
  2. When the installer setup is completed, and for the interests of this guide, try to close any pop ups before continue.
  3. Double click the Bluetooth icon that appeared in the notification tray. Click the «New Connection» button.
    • If the wizard screen appears, then the Toshiba Stack has successfully installed the Toshiba drivers to the Bluetooth adapter. Continue to #Connecting the Wii Remote Plus.
    • If a prompt appears saying «Bluetooth is not ready» …then it failed. Once that point is reached, there is no way known to deal with this.

Pretending to Be a Toshiba Bluetooth Adapter

While there is no option to buy the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack without the bundled hardware, there is a way to make the Bluetooth device recognized as one. Paste the following into Notepad and save it as a .reg file, then run it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareToshibaBluetoothStackV1.0Mng]
"TestVersion"="0"

This driver, called HID Wiimote, was developed and elementary implemented as my bachelor thesis in a 6-month period.

What is it?

When you normally connect your Wii Remote to a PC using Bluetooth, you can’t use it properly out of the box. The problem is that Windows don’t know how to handle it properly and does not expose any input buttons or axis. My Bachelor theses was to attempt a solution to that kind of problem. There are many programs which are mapping the Wii Remote buttons to keyboard keys, so for Windows it looks like a key is pressed. This solution is not applicable when it comes to local multiplayer games like FIFA. My driver fixes this issue, since every Wii Remote is recognized as a native game controller, as they should be.

The driver supports the Nunchuck, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro Extensions. Furthermore it is Working with the Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Balance Board and some Guitar Hero accessories. The button and input mapping dynamically changes when an Extension is plugged in or out. For update notifications follow me on Twitter.

  • Driver Signature Verification may be a hard requirement for certain AntiCheat engines.

Driver Signature Verification

Unfortunately I do not own a Code Signing Certificate. So on 64 Bit Systems you have to disable the Driver Signature Verification. Otherwise Windows won’t load the driver. The Driver Signature Verification can either be deactivated permanently or for a single restart (after an additional restart it is active again).

Permanently deactivate Driver Signature Verification

Start the HID Wiimote Control Center. Open the HID Wiimote Installer via Tools -> Installer. On the installer Window enable Test Mode and reboot your system.

Alternatively you can also manually enable Test Mode. Open a CMD Window with Admin Rights. Then run the following command and restart your System.

Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

One Time Deactivation

To disable the Driver Signature Verification some steps are necessary. Those are different on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and above.

Save all of your work, because you have to reboot you computer!

Windows 7:

  1. Restart you computer
  2. After the BIOS, before Windows initialize its booting, press F8 to enter the “Advanced Boot Options” for Windows (like when you try to enter the “safe mode”)
  3. Choose “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement”

Windos 8.1 & Windows 10:

  1. Open the Charms Bar
  2. Chosse “Settings” and then “Change PC settings”
  3. Switch to “Update and recovery” and open the “Recovery” tab
  4. Click on “Restart Now” under “Advanced Startup”
  5. After restart click “Troubleshoot”
  6. Pick “Advanded options”
  7. Choose “Startup Settings”
  8. Click on “Restart”
  9. Press the number for “Disable driver signature enforcement” (Number 7)

Now Windows starts in a Testing Mode and might display a small watermark in the bottom right corner.

After an additional restart Windows changes back to its normal mode, so you have to disable the Driver Signature Verification each time you want to use the driver.

Skip PIN Request

On Windows 10 Creators Update and above the “Settings – Bluetooth & other devices”  panel does not let one skip the PIN input. In order to pair your Wii Remote nonetheless, scroll down to “Related Settings” and open “Devices and Printers”. Its “Add a device” dialog still accepts an empty PIN entry. The “Devices and Printers” Window can also be opened by right clicking the Bluetooth system tray and select “Join a Personal Area Network”.

Switch driver

Because Windows internally ranks all possible drivers for a device mainly by their signing, the default driver might be still used for the Wii Remote. This driver ranking will be performed each time the device is added. So you have to change it every time you connect the Wii Remote. Therefore it is recommended to install the certificate to push its ranking.

  1. Connect the Wii Remote to the Computer and constantly tap a button, so the Wii Remote won’t turn off.
  2. Open the Device Manager and locate the “Bluetooth-HID-Device” representing the Wii Remote.
  3. Right click on it and choose “Update Driver Software…”.
  4. Pick “Browse my computer for driver software”
  5. Then “Let me pick from a list on my computer”
  6. Now choose “Wiimote Device” from the list and click “Next”
  7. When the LEDs of the Wii Remote switch from flashing to constantly on, the driver is installed properly.

How does it work?

This Part is for those of you, who does not only want to use HID Wiimote, but want to take a peak inside a driver and how i fixed the problem.

Detailed Problem

The communication of the Wii Remote with its host is based on HID. HID is a protocol for input devices without a fixed setup. The protocol is self describing, which means every device is telling the host what kinds of input and outputs it got. E.g. one game controller can have only four buttons, whereas another can have two analog sticks without any buttons, both are using HID and are handled by the same driver.

As said the Wii Remote communication is just based on it, but not strictly followed. So the protocol standard is violated at some points, for example the Wii Remote does not describes itself properly. That’s the reason why Windows knows its a game controller but does not know what kinds of input and output the Wii Remote has.

Solution

So the solution is to put a driver somewhere between the Wii Remote and the HID Class Driver to fix the communication. This driver presents a HID conform game controller to the upper HID Class Driver. Fortunately the HID Class Driver is paired with a minidriver. Those minidrivers handle the transport specific communication with the device. E.g. if the device is connected via USB the HIDUSB driver is loaded to handle the USB specific communication, or if it’s Bluetooth HIDBTH is loaded, to do all the Bluetooth stuff.

The HID Wiimote replaces the minidriver for the Wii Remote and adds the additional functionality to have a fully supported game controller. It consists of three layers.

Diagram of the Driver

The lower Bluetooth layer handles all the Bluetooth specific stuff, like the direct communication. The middle layer Wiimote saves the Wii Remotes state and handles its specific needs in form of what kind of responses and request and how those have to be handled. The upper Layer HID is handling all request from the HID Class Driver and is translating the current state to a HID conform format.

Introduction: How to Use Your Wii Remote on Your PC As a Game Controller and More

Hello! If you would like to know how to connect your Wii Remote to your PC, you have come to the right place. By the end of this guide, you will be able to:

  1. Use your Wii Remote as a game controller.
  2. Use your Wii Remote as a mouse
  3. Create your own custom keybindings for your Wii Remote. (As long as it uses the keyboard and mouse, it can be mapped to the Wii Remote)

But before we get into the details of doing so, here are some materials that you will need before we get started.

You will need:

  1. A Nintendo Wii Remote. (I am using an older model that does not have the Plus in it, however if you have a newer one it should still work)
  2. A PC that has a Bluetooth adapter. (If your PC does not have a built-in Bluetooth adapter, you can buy an external one from Amazon.)
  3. A few free programs for the Wii Remote that will be discussed in detail later.

A few warnings to consider: This guide is written for those who have PCs only. If you have a Mac or other operating system, this guide will is not for you. The instructions and pictures will be specifically for Windows 10, since that is the operating system I am running. Older versions can attempt to follow along, however there is no guarantee that the process I go through will be the same as yours.

Step 1: Downloading the Wii Remote Drivers

If you were to try to connect your Wii Remote now to your PC, you would find that Microsoft will install the wrong drivers for it. Thankfully, a game developer by the name of Julian Löhr created his own drivers to allow PC’s to recognize the Wii Remote. You can find his website here: https://www.julianloehr.de/

Depending on your system, you will need to either download the Windows 64-bit version or 32-bit version.

64-Bit Version:

https://www.julianloehr.de/hid-wiimote/gamepad/0.2…

32-Bit Version:

https://www.julianloehr.de/hid-wiimote/gamepad/0.2…

Note that both downloads will be in a zip file, so create a folder to hold the files.

If you have a 64-bit version of Windows and/or receive an error when trying to connect your Wii Remote, move on to the next step. Otherwise, the next step may be skipped.

Step 2: Disabling Driver Signature Enforcement

NOTE: This step can be skipped if you do not have Windows 64-bit or do not receive the driver signature error.

Because this driver was not made by Microsoft, your PC will not recognize it. In order to bypass this, we will need to disable driver signature enforcement.

1. In the Windows search bar, search «recovery» without the quotes and select «Recovery options».

2. Click «Restart Now» (NOTE: If you click this button, your PC WILL restart at that instant, so be sure to remember the next steps.)

3. After restarting, click the «Troubleshoot» button -> «Advanced Options» -> «Startup Settings».

4. Click «Restart» and when prompted press the key «7» to «Disable driver signature enforcement».

Now, your Windows will seem to start and run normally, the only difference now is that driver signature is disabled, meaning we can now use our drivers that we downloaded, until we restart our computer. We can now move on to the next step.

Things to note:

  • A restart will cause your Windows to run normally again, so if you would like driver signatures to be enforced again, a restart will do the trick
  • Every time you would like to connect your Wii Remote, you will have to do this whole process again. If you would like to disable driver signature enforcement permanently, you can do so by following the steps below.

For PERMANENT disabling of driver signatures, you do the following:

1. Open the Windows Command Prompt. (Search CMD in the bottom left Windows Search Bar)

2. Type the following:

Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

3. Press enter and restart your computer.

Step 3: Connecting Your Wii Remote to Your PC

So, with the drivers all downloaded and your PC off of driver signature enforcement (for 64-bit only), now all we need to do is connect your Wii Remote to your PC!

1. Run the «TinyInstaller.exe» to install the actual driver. Note: Admin rights are needed to run this program.

2. Afterwards, check in your programs and features to see if the driver installed correctly. Check to see if the program shows up in the list as shown in the picture above. (Search «program and features» in the Windows search bar) Note: If you ever want to uninstall this driver, you can do so here.

3. Locate your Bluetooth settings (can be found by searching «Bluetooth» in the windows search bar)

4. Turn on your Bluetooth and keep this window open.

5. Turn your Wii Remote over and click the red sync button.

6. Look back onto the Bluetooth window and look for a device called «Nintendo RVL-CNT-01» to pair with. (Note: At first it may appear to be named as «Input device». After a few seconds, its name will change into Nintendo RVL-CNT-01.)

7. If prompted for a passcode, click next without typing any numbers, then cancel. The Wii Remote should connect afterwards.

8. Take a look at your Wii Remote. If the lights look similar to the picture above, then your Wii Remote is successfully paired! If it does not have lights and it says it is paired in the Bluetooth settings, remove the device from the Bluetooth setting and try connecting it again.

Step 4: Getting Your Wii Remote to Work As a Game Controller

Now that our Wii Remote is connected to our PC, lets use another program to map out the Wii Remote inputs as keyboard inputs so that it will work PC games.

1. Download the free version of JoyToKey:

http://download.cnet.com/JoyToKey/3000-2094_4-7522…

2. Download my Wii Remote profile here:

https://www.mediafire.com/?o6mw78i2f509ljz

3. After downloading my profile, place it in the same location as the JoyToKey program.

4. Open JoyToKey. You will see on the left column a profile called Wii Remote Game. If you do not, make sure that the .cfg file you downloaded from me is in the same location as the JoyToKey program, and reopen JoyToKey.

5. The profile I provided is a basic template for providing your own inputs. You can see on the right column I did the basic Up, Down, Left, Right arrows, corresponding to their respective arrows on the keyboard. The other buttons I left blank, for you to decide.

6. Lets say a game requires you to jump with the «Z» key, and we want to jump by pressing «1». Double click the row named Button1.

7. Make sure you are in the «Keyboard» tab, and click on the first «Disabled» rectangle you see. It should highlight yellow, meaning you can now do any input on your keyboard and it will map to whatever button you chose, in this case it was «1». Type Z, and you should see Z show up in the box.

8. Change the other buttons (1,2,+,-,A,B) to those that match your game settings.

9. After minimizing JoyToKey, the inputs should work. You can test this out by seeing if the inputs you put in are typed out in a notepad or web browser. (Note: The up, down, left, right arrows are inputted as if you are holding the Wii Remote horizontally, with the Dpad on the left side and 1,2 buttons on the right.)

Step 5: Using Your Wii Remote As a Mouse and Beyond

So we have our Wii Remote formatted to be used as a game controller. What if we wanted to use it as a mouse?

1. Download my Wii Remote Mouse Profile here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ucy4nuz3z4v8wsa/

2. Place it in the JoyToKey folder.

3. Run the JoyToKey program. (Note: If the program is already open and you move the file in the same folder, it will not update until you restart the program.)

4. On the left column, select the «Wii Remote Mouse». (Note: Left clicking the profile name will change between profiles after minimizing JoyToKey).

5. Minimize the JoyToKey program. You should be able to use the Wii Remote as a mouse now! Hold it like you would hold a TV remote, and use the DPad to move the mouse up and down, the A button to left click, B button to right click, and Minus button to Alt+Tab. This profile is very basic. You can add more to it and tweak it to your liking by changing the settings.

6. Open JoyToKey and double click on any of the functions that control the mouse movement.

7. From the top left, the slider determines left and right movement of the mouse. So sliding it to the left will make the mouse move left, and if you slide it far left the mouse will move far to the left when pressing the left Wii Remote button. Similarly, the vertical column determines up and down movement of the mouse. Below you can see mouse clicks, such as left click and right click. Any of these can be mapped to the Wii Remote. The rest of the settings are up to you to explore and experiment!
