Given the bluetooth nature of the sensing devices, my roomie expects to see a ton of homebrewing going on, and I can definitely see that. Has anyone else done anything interesting with their Wiis yet? Obviously no talk of piracy is allowed, but finding new and interesting ways to play with your Wii is both fun and a really bad pun.
The coding has been released a while back now. Because it's a bluetooth based remote, it isn't too hard to create the coding necessary for it to be used like a mouse on a pc. It's already been done by many people. I was actually gonna do it a while back but didn't have the time.
