Connect a Wiimote to your PC
Posted on May 10, 2010
Connecting a Wiimote to your PC is very simple and effective when used with an emulator. A Nintendo Wiimote uses Bluetooth to connect to the Wii, therefore it can connect to your computer. All you need is a bluetooth ready PC (built-in or dongle).
- To get started, have your Wiimote ready and download a program called Bluesoleil. You can download it here.
- Install the software and enable Bluetooth. Run Bluesoleil, you should see a blue window with an orange ball in the middle.
- Press 1 and 2 buttons on your Wiimote, causing the lights to flash. Then click on the orange ball in Bluesoleil to search for devices.
- Your controller should appear in the window, right click on it and choose Connect > Bluetooth Human Interface Device Service.
- Follow the New Hardware Wizard and install the device. Windows should automatically install the drivers for you without the need to download any.
- Done! Your Wiimote should be green in Bluesoleil showing a successful connection. Enjoy!
