(Mac Only) Darwiin Remote + Wiimote + Nestopia: Tutorial

[cubsfanjeff]

how did you get the nestopia screen so big? mine is like 1/16 of the screen

[richieboyland2]

dude i dont know about you but the first vamera was better lol

[wiipwnzps3]

@richieboyland2 it's cuz the first one was a screen recording. the second could've been, but i got lazy :P

[davisngo1234321]

how do you play two players?

[QuackerMan45]

it was working good at first, but then it stopped for me. my wiimote was on, but no response from the game. what do i do?

[wiipwnzps3]

Ok guys, if you're running Snow Leopard you're gonna get issues. Leopard should work fine, but Snow Leopard doesn't work... =/

I don't think it'll work in any app to be quite honest. I guess the way the app maps out the button presses to work on Snow Leopard is wrong or something.

@wiipwnzps3 I've been having problems too, but got it to work using this fix. sites.google.com/site/mactechl­ogs/main_page/darwiinremote-sn­ow-leopard-fix

okay.. my computer recognizes the wiimot, but when i run nestopia, its not registering any of the keys i mapped out in darwiinremote. i tested the functionality on other programs on my computer but nestopia just isnt working! anyone having the same problems?

[kougerman22]

@kougerman22 its happening in every emulator, even though i configure the controls for every emulator im still having issues. its annoying!

[20tree]

thanks it needed a few adjustments to run on my mac but it's works !

[maxmusicyo]

jave you figured it out? ive tried nestopia using darwiin remote with snow leapord, and its not working.

[qwertykyle666]

hey quick question. at 1:18 it says wiimote on top. mine doesnt say that it just says keymapping nunchuck and mouse. whats going on?

[wiipwnzps3]

@qwertykyle666 REALLY odd problem you and @CCV334 have...I don't exactly know what could possibly be wrong...I'll take a look again just to check. I know Snow Leopard is causing problems...

[qwertykyle666]

@wiipwnzps3 so i downloaded the older version of darwiinremote. but im using sixty force and i do the button mapping and the controller just doesnt work. but the keyboard does.

[QuackerMan45]

@qwertykyle666 same

[Megalex215]

im running os x and nestopia is recognizing my wiimote

[Megalex215]

@Megalex215 is not recognizing my wiimote

[CCV334]

mine says key mapping instead of wii mote, V.0.6 and im running on snow leopard please help

[wiipwnzps3]

@CCV334 Hmm? Can you give me some more info? Lost...

[qwertykyle666]

@CCV334 did you ever find out how to fix this?? im having the same problem.

[JimmyB6627]

Hey man, thanks for posting this. I'm having a problem though, I have Darwiin .7 and Nestopia 1.4.1 and I set my Darwiin up just as you described and left it on while I loaded up Nestopia. But for some reason I can't use the wiimote. Both of them are installed in my application folder, but it just won't work for me. What do you think is going on?

[ramchamcham]

merci encore pour cette petite video

[neogeon]

here's the real question: how do you use the infrared pointer as a Zapper. I tried it in SNES9X and MAME OS X and it won't recognize it, it will only recognize the touchpad as a pointing device.

[wiipwnzps3]

@neogeon It's possible...but it's best with a sensor bar, all that you would have to do is configure Darwiin Remote to detect the IR as mouse movement, and then you could do mouse clicks using the wii remote, moving the cursor through IR, but I'm not sure if that would work for sure.

[neogeon]

@wiipwnzps3 I already do that, but it isn't recognized by MAME OS X or SNES9X. In fact, in SNES9X, it will superimpose the mouse pointer from the Wiimote while the touchpad shows up as a reticle and you can move them independently. There must be an option somewhere to allow alternate pointing devices to act as "low level" devices to be taken the same way as the touch pad, but I don't know how to do that.

[wiipwnzps3]

@neogeon Quite possible, if I have some time I'll look into it, if you find anything out, please let me know!

[snower5554]

i always get this : 

===== WiiRemoteDiscovery error. If clicking Find Wiimote gives this error, try System Preferences > Bluetooth > Devices, delete Nintendo. (4) =====

I dont have System preferences > bluetooth> devices. i have system preferences>bluetooth and then some setup thing...

[wiipwnzps3]

@snower5554 Hmm...can you give me previous steps you did so I can maybe recreate the problem? The only thing I can think of is that the devices are on the left side once you click Bluetooth...if it isn't there, just try again hitting 1+2 to make is discoverable.

[snower5554]

well, i click find wiimote, hold down 1 and 2 at the same time on the wiimote and get the error message. so i go to bluetooth, and the device is not on the list of devices on the left.

[snower5554]

nevermind lol i found out he problem. my wii console was turned on lol

[wiipwnzps3]

Haha ok bro, so long as you figured it out :P

[zebrakidd]

awsome! i finally figured it out with your advice and trial and error. It appears SNES has its own controls defaulted to the keyboard so when you set up the wiimote with darwiin you can set certain buttons on it to certain keys on the keyboard. pretty simple idea just didn't think of it at the time lol appreciate your response tho. and now i will go and play donkey kong country :D hell ya!

[wiipwnzps3]

Sweet! I'll fool around with that myself and maybe make another video tutorial. Maybe with a little higher quality... =P

[zebrakidd]

i take it you don't know......

[wiipwnzps3]

Whoa I swear I thought I replied to this...sorry!!!

Uhmm...I'd try the Nunchuck compatibility of Darwiin Remote, set C and Z on the nunchuck to be something, A and B to be, well, A and B, and maybe see if you could use the control stick as a d-pad, if not use 2 as B, 1 as A, A as X, and B as Y while using the same config as this video, simply the wiimote held sideways. I hope this helps, maybe I'll get a vid for SNES now too!

[zebrakidd]

awsome info video. i'm glad i stumbled upon this for my classic gaming adventures lol darwiin works awsome with nestopia, although i was wondering if you play with any snes emulators and how you would config the x and y button to the wiimote because in mario for snes dash is y or x and jump is b or a and im stuck with two jump buttons with the configuration for nes that you showed. any idea how to config that?! it will be much appreciated, im looking forward to playing all these classics. thanks

[nerdicusx]

DUDE THIS IS SICK THANK YOU SO MUCH, i just need to know one thing, does darwiin have to be open to run everything right

[wiipwnzps3]

Well, Darwiin has to be open if you want to run the emulator with the Wiimote (considering Darwiin is on the setting for NEStopia). Thanks for the watch =] Hope I answered ur question.
