Fakemote is An IOS module that fakes Wiimotes from the input of USB game controllers.
It currently supports DS3 and DS4 controllers, with the following features:
DS3 and DS4 support includes LEDs, rumble, and the accelerometer
DS4's touchpad is used to emulate the Wiimote IR Camera pointer (only tested with the sensor bar configured on top of the screen)
Both controllers emulate a Wiimote with the Nunchuk extension connected
The download can be found here.
Installation instructions are here.

Notes:
You can install it to any (empty) slot, using IOS 57 or 58 as base (it will also probably work with base IOS 59 and other base IOSes). For now, I recommend not installing it to cIOS 249 (keep this slot with plain d2x) but installing it to an empty slot such as 252 for example. Since loaders have the option to change under which IOS slot to run the loader itself and the games, it's easy to switch between slots.
Usage:
If you have a regular Wii (not Wii U), you can install Priiloader and change the IOS slot the System Menu and games run with.
You can also use an USB loader and change the IOS slot to use when running the loader and games.
- It still doesn't work as it should, in the nintendo wii system menu
- When using on Usb Loader GX or Wiiflow, select IOS 253 only for the game, leave the default Loader IOS at 224, 249, 250 or 251 (preferably between 249 or 250 (because if you leave the Loader at 253 it will serve the Fake Mote) in the Loader mention, but when the game loads it will shut down (A bug that will likely be fixed in the future by friend Xerpi)
Tested with Virtual Consoles and Wiiwares even more when the game loads the Fakemote disarms making it impossible to use them yet.

Thank You but its all Xerpi glad you got it setup
If your an OG Wii user you can apparently use priiloader to change your system IOS to a Fakemote IOS?? Priiloader cant work on WiiU's vWii so I'm not too familiar with how it works.

I do have the priiloader installed on my wii, I've even changed the IOS but for a reason I still don't know, changing to fakem ote IOS sometimes happens to freeze the system menu at random, with normal IOS 249 there was never a freeze, even I've already tested a similar project from my friend @Aurelio which is Rvloader, which makes it possible to emulate the wii remote/nunchuck and classic controller with the game cube controller.

Probably a good idea to use a ios60 as a base if you're going to be installing it to your system menu IOS slot. Test it works as expected in a different slot first (since it sounds like only base 57 has been tested so far) and/or make sure you have adequate brick protection in place before using an untested system menu IOS.
@xerpi , this whole project is super cool, thanks for your work and I look forward to seeing how far you can run with it!
I didn't get to test it at IOS 60, because IOS 58 serves two USB and the result I've gotten with it has been normal, as for the freezes of the system menu it's not always, they're random
