At long last, the Bluetooth guide is here!


If you did not pick up a Wii yet, but still want to mess around with the amazing Wiimote, then pick one up! It is 50 bucks for a world of fun and potential.
After all, even Microsoft praised the Wiimote and people have said that the Wiimote is worth buying without picking up a Wii.

By the end of this guide, you will learn how to play laser tag, play PC games like F,E.A.R., play electronic instruments, play Nintendo 64 games, and navigate google earth, and much more!

Here is what you need to get started:

First, you need a compatible bluetooth device, internal or external. I have combined two lists into this bluetooth compatibilityfor easier viewing. If you have an external USB dongle, plug it in, install the included drivers, and restart your computer.

Once your Bluetooth adapter is connected, follow these simple and easy to remember instructions to connect the wiimote to your computer’s Bluetooth adapter.

If you cannot get the Wiimote to work, try using Bluesoilel (this is a trial version that only can send 5 MB)

Once you have a driver installed and your wiimote’s HID device is connected, you are ready to download some apps.

Wii-Mote Apps for Windows
My favorite application for Windows wiimote scripting is GlovePIE , which includes several scripts that are Wiimote compatible. After you extract GlovePie, simply load up a script and have fun!

These scripts will allow you to control any app that takes user input in the form of keystrokes or mouse movement. Scripting is extremely easy to figure out just by reading other people’s scripts! In fact, I made the Ballance script in 5 minutes with no previous scripting experience!
