11th December I think they are due in.

So they aren't doing their own brand ones either then?

Wii Remote as Mouse Pointer:

 

 

They've got the IR data hacked now. Just the nunchuck left to do.

Only the VC and something to do with SD cards need the update to work. Wii games, createing a Mii and Gc games all should work fine!

Woah, these guys are working really fast... first compatible, then HL2 now IR.

When this works well I'll get the drivers to use my Wiimote on the Laptop. : peace:

This actually means the PS3 could be Wiimote compatible with a firmware upgrade.

yep it's compatible, after all it is the "Nintendo Wi-fi USB adapter", not the "Nintendo DS Wi-fi USB Adapter"

My dongle still works :D Seems that will be my only method of connecting to the VC for now.

Unless the usb to ethernet ive got already works, then oh well.

This is great news. Becouse I'm going to buy a media center pc to connect to my LCD Tv. And I just hate the mouse function on the media center keyboard. So now I can use the Wiimote for the Wii and the Media Center! I must say: I like it! :laughing:

Great idea! Im building a Media Center at the moment (see the Tech board), it would be great if the Wiimote could be customised as a Mouse and Remote control!

 

BTW, anyone know if the Wii works with GC/N64 cables?

Id recommend that people turn off Wii Remote speaker volume and rumble as soon as possible in order to save the battery. Or if you like spending alot of money on batteries keep it on.

A while back someone here posted a way of getting your DS online with a Wifi PCI card. Is there a similar thing for Wii?
