Open Source Wii Software

http://live.pirillo.com - Minutes after I sliced my finger on the Wii box, I decided to download a program for Mac OS X called "DarwiinRemote". Essentially, you connect your WiiMote via Bluetooth to any Mac running OS X.

making the wii remote bluetooth was a great move by nintendo

THIS IS NOT WII SOFTWARE. THIS IS MAC SOFTWARE. THERE EXISTS ACTUAL WII SOFTWARE

I know a program whitch does the same but you have to program it yourself. its called glovepie (pie stands for programmeble input emulator) you can let your wiimote controll your mouse or keyboard you can use it to programm the balance board and stuff. you can make the leds light up.

I personaly think its better but thats just my opinion.

can you use it on windows xp?

first mac does not suck !!!

jeah thats great stuff =)

its just the begining i guess -

imagine you could play all the games of the wii on your mac =) may be thats just a software binding away =)

nobody will need a wii anymore - couse your mobile with a mac - you can go out an play tennis in the park =)

plus you can know write your own software for pc or mac

using this remote!which enables you billions of possibilities ..

for example - search for djwiij-pretty awseome guy

i am sure it s easy
