Hi, I recently got a wii and wanted a second controller for playing multiplayer so I figured I'd get a motion plus one for games that support it, but looking it up I found that there are apparently issues when using motion plus wiimotes with homebrew. Is this still a big problem with a lot of homebrew or have most things been updated to support it?

I've run into the issue still occasionally. Have an ogmote ready for action.

Homebrew does not magically change and neither do the wiimotes, if the program of choice hasn't been recompiled with newer drivers (which are in the title and not in the IOS) the answer is obvious

(what's less obvious is that not all wiimotes with integrated motionplus are the "problematic" TR variant)
(in quotes because I stand behind the claim that it's the older homebrew drivers to be inaccurate to the standard set by the hardware, as proved by all the official titles of 2006/2008 that work just fine with the TRs)

As @newo said, the homebrews source code must be modified (if necessary) and recompiled with newer devkitPPC (min r26) and libOGC (min 1.8.15-1/1.8.16) in order for make these homebrew to accept newer Wiimotes (aka Wii Remote Plus).

I had to make a change to MAME Wii in order for compile it in devkitPPC r26 and libOGC 1.8.16, and as a result, i can use MAME Wii with newer Wiimotes, considering that i couldnt use it on original MAME Wii versions.

    Somethings maybe, but drives are rated in hours, so most likely many hours already on them. I just don't trust em for data. Maybe a used(renewed) car or something be ok tho.

  • Quincy @ Quincy:
    Metroid prime 4 I wouldn't be surprised if that title will be a SwitchU title (here's hoping Nintendo won't go with such a ridiculous name again)
