Wiicontrol for nokia n810 / n800

Let me start by telling you that wiicontrol is just marvelous piece of software. I allows you to pair your wiimote with your tablet. Result: Perfect controller for games and really nice controller for media applications.

So, emulators are now usable, doom / quake: check! pengupop / bomberman. Yeah baby! I cannot take credit of the wiicontrol, as it's really a project JL Diaz started, I just pimped it a bit. It's based on wiimote by Will Woods. GPL2+ for wiimote and gpl3+ for the wiicontrol.

Hey, please take a look at this video to see how very simple it is to use. If you toggle the gyro, it will currently produce wasd events when the you rotate your wiimote. Nice for e.g. strafing in quake/doom. Anyway, this is the first version and I'm sure me and JL will be bringing some cool configuration options and perhaps even mouse cursor support in the near future.



EDIT:
Link to install it is in here:
Wiicontrol 1.04

    It tried to pair with some random device that was none of my Wiimotes... probably my WLAN AP? And then, after a while, crashed. I used the Wiicontrol version available May 5th.

    I tried this with 770 2008HE and it worked like a charm.
    There only one problem, in fceu the buttons don't work eg. you can't jump or run in smb3. This is more of a fceu problem because it uses onscreen buttons and I can't figure out how to change them so wiimote buttons would work. Anyone know how to change them?
    Wiicontrol could have some kind of setting so you could map the wiimotes functions yourself.

    Ha, I don't even have a Wii, but this is so cool that I went out and bought a Wii remote just for this. Way cool, thank you!

    Now I only need to figure out why I can't rotate in Doom, only step left and right...?

    Crashing anonymous, did you push the two buttons (1+2) like you're supposed to?

    Of course: I just need to go to Options/key mapping in LXDoom and tell it which buttons/gyros I want to use for what. Sweet.

  9. JL Diaz has been working on user configurability of the mappings. We'll publish that in a few days time. Stay tuned! Oh, and I've been working a bit on the nunchuck. But that needs a bit more love still.

    Terrific utility. WiiControl works well with N810 Map program and games like Blocks that came with the N810.

    Will NOT work with ColEm and iNES emulators.
