Wiimote on PS3?

[Slim Hacker]

Well I was Thinking that we have it to where we can use the wiimote on a pc
all you need is Glove Pie.
The wiimote connects via bluetooth and the PS3 allows you to connect to Bluetooth devices you can see where I'm going.
Well I tryed to scan when I put the wiimote in search mode the PS3 recognized it as a human interface device I connected to the wiimote
the player 1 led  on the wiimote started flashing and it connected but thats all it would do is it would
connect recognize it as a human interface device and the
 wiimote player 1 led would start to flash anyone yhave any ideas?

Yeah. Install a linux distro on it and then you're set and you can use it.

In the ps3 interface, nothing unless you're going to write your own script/program :3
At least, I haven't seen anything made yet because...it's kinda pointless o_O

Yeah I honestly hate the wiimote for gaming. Have you ever tried playing Red Steel with that damn thing? Move your wiimote a little off centred and you freaking spin in circles. Then you move your hand an inch and you turn 180 degrees O_O

You have your sensor bar set up wrong, position it correctly and the problem is gone.

Dunno about YDL...I've only tested on Ubuntu. Most linux distros use different program...types. RPM, tar, etc. and I don't even remember what I needed to download to get it working as a mouse :3

[Slim Hacker]

Well what distro do you suggest for the Ps3 for me to try it on

the link works I tried it myself.  and as for hyperlinking everybody makes mistakes once in a while, even kicks  So don't rag on him.

[Slim Hacker]

Yeah Sorry Kicks I mean if there were 1,000 posts and I made all of them I bet about 10% would have errors like hyperlinking.
So Again Kicks sorry

on the wii, the wiimote position is displayed by a hand. on the PS3 there is nothing in the XMB. i see it sorta pointless, the wii mote is as accurate a as drunk hunter   , even on the wii. mouse is wayyy better.

[Slim Hacker]

Well I was thinking it would move the XMB like a mouse would
A mouse on the XMB is so frickin hillarious.
