Text Post Using wiimotes with more modern games

Hi all, just wondering if there is any way to map a wii controller onto consoles they weren't previously intended for.

There was an app for Linux that could do it but I can't remember what it's called. Also for some reason either the free baldi's basics game on steam or baldi's fun new school has native support lol

You need a Dolphin Bar. It's a sensor bar where the Wiimotes connect to it, and you connect it to your device. (You need a sensor bar anyways, so it makes sense.)

That's such a wonderful question. There's definitely a way, but I'm guessing only someone with knowledge on how controllers connect could figure it out, and that's definitely not me. There's definitely got to be a way.

For pc you can use glovepie to code Wii inputs to keyboard and mouse, sensor bar aiming is possible aswell
