Nintendo Wii Remote Plus - White

Product Information

BBBB is the core Buttons data. AA AA AA is the Accelerometer data. The 16 EE bytes are from the Extension Controller currently connected to the Wii Remote. Sports titles of the non- Mario variety often tend to get overlooked on Nintendo consoles. Still, the promise of sophisticated motion control can add some enticement, particularly in a golf title which seems tailor-made for the swinging motion-controls of the Wiimote. Turning off all LEDs for an extended period of time is discouraged, as it might lead the user to believe the Wii Remote is turned off and disconnected, when in fact it is active. A range of other unique accessories provide all-new ways to play select Wii games, and enhance your experience even further. Whether you're having fun with fitness using the Wii Balance Board, racing with the Wii Wheel accessory, or looking for an old-school gaming experience with the Classic Controller Pro, there are lots of exciting options available! Upon powerup, the Data Reporting Mode defaults to 0x30. Following a connection or disconnection event on the Extension Port, data reporting is disabled and the Data Reporting Mode must be reset before new data can arrive.

During gameplay with the Wii, one LED is lit to indicate the player number assigned to the Wii Remote. However, the LEDs are independently controllable by the host, and can be set to display any pattern. They can also be modulated at a moderately high speed, enabling some brightness control at the cost of a lot of Bluetooth bandwidth. Sigma-delta modulation works reasonably well for this. Above, 4 lights are flashing on the genuine Wiimote Plus as it tries to connect. During the same process, the fake only flashes the first 3. When it's controller 4, the 4th light does come on. Edit: at least the battery indicator works. Oops. Also you may notice that the fake bleeds quite a bit more light than the genuine. Of course that light bleed will happen when comparing a light colored controller to a dark one. On the fake you can see the imperfections of the LED's below as if you're looking at the lights through a transparent window, but on a genuine these lights are beneath a bit of frosted translucent plastic so you do not get an uneven glare from various angles of an LED bulb. Before I get to that smoking gun, here is the other fake's label. As I mentioned above, this label was applied very unevenly. The inside of the battery doors are also different. On a genuine there are numbers stamped on that box near the top. On the fake, the box is empty. Also, look at the rings from the injection mold on the real one's battery door. It's hard to see in this picture but there are 3 rows of 5 of these rings for a total of 15. On the fake there are only 3 of these rings running down the center. The fake has sharp bits of excess plastic left behind while the genuine rings are much smoother. The sync button is hidden under the battery cover. When the Sync button is pressed, the Wii remote will disconnect from whatever it is currently connected to, make itself discoverable, and accept pairing or connection requests for exactly 20 seconds (regardless of how long the button is held down for).

However, this will also have the side-effect of turning off all LEDs. The rumble bit needs to be set properly with every single report sent, to avoid inadvertently turning the rumble motor off. Remember to set bit 2 (0x04) on the first byte of the Output Report, otherwise you'll overwrite EEPROM memory! FF configures the data format. Setting it to 0x40 configures the speaker to use signed 8-bit PCM, while setting it to 0x00 configures it to use 4-bit Yamaha ADPCM. VV specifies the volume, which has a range of 0x00-0xFF for 8-bit mode, and 0x00-0x40 for 4-bit mode. This Dynasty Warriors-esque action romp is unique in that it's the only Japanese-exclusive entry on this list. Still, it seemed fitting to include this overlooked gem from Sandlot, on account of its thrilling action and solid use of MotionPlus. BBBB is the core Buttons data. The 19 EE bytes are from the Extension Controller currently connected to the Wii Remote.

WiimoteHook: Nintendo Wii Remote driver with MotionPlus

Reverse engineering and documenting all of the Wii Remote's features is a work in progress. Here are the known features and their status:The BCM2042 microcontroller built into the Wii Remote includes a large 108kb on-chip ROM section for storing firmware. If the EEPROM chip really contains code for the BCM2042 then this was probably done to make firmware updates possible, so there might be a way of accessing the other parts of the EEPROM via Bluetooth as well. I now have a new one. The price was 20 euro, but still I'm not entirely happy with thte product. The +/- buttons are not fluid, the D-pad is still not perfect (in Tiger Woods the spin effect is impossible to control wiuth this wiimote) and the rumble is no humming sound but more a snoring one. The first byte in many Output reports has a similar meaning. In every single Output Report, bit 0 (0x01) of the first byte controls the Rumble feature. Additionally, bit 2 (0x04) is used in several Output Reports as the ON/OFF flag for the specific feature controlled by it. For example, sending 0x04 to Report 0x19 (Speaker Mute) will mute the speaker: Though it tends to get overshadowed by Switch's high-tech Joy-Cons, Wii MotionPlus added some dimension to the Wii's more basic motion control without requiring new hardware. It allowed for smoother, more detailed 3D movements that could be measured in a relative spot in virtual space. This device ended up being something of a technological bridge between the Wii and Switch.

See those air bubbles around the D-Pad? The fake has one of those peel-off plastic protective films on the top so it keeps it's showroom shine. These are unheard of on a real one, at least in the US market. Report 0x19 is used to mute or unmute the speaker, and works identically to report 0x14. 0x04 will mute the speaker, and 0x00 will unmute it. To request the status report, send anything to Output Report 0x15. The Status Report will also be automatically sent when an Extension Controller is connected or disconnected. Though a few Tiger Woods PGA entries have appeared on Wii, this one's considered a real "hole-in-one" with its balance of simple, intuitive controls and detailed golf-sim gameplay. PGA Tour 10 allows players to showcase their golfing chops with a smooth, authentic feel to the motion controls, even allowing for subtle curve shots. At the same time, the core experience remains accessible. The new bluetooth pairing method SSP (Secure Simple Pairing) is not supported. Also it is not yet investigated whether a link key has to be created (by sending a PIN) on every connection or whether the link key can be saved and reused on new connections. Though, creating a new link key on every connection works fine.The Virtua Tennis series has long been renowned for its balance of nuanced and thrilling tennis gameplay, along with its fun multiplayer options. This tradition continues on Wii, with a game that feels akin to a fleshed-out successor to Wii Tennis. There are four blue LEDs on the front face of the Wii Remote. During discovery and before initialization, these LEDs blink at a fixed rate. The number of blinking LEDs is proportional to the battery voltage, indicating battery charge (all four are lit for newly charged batteries, and only the first is lit if the batteries are low and should be replaced).

The high nybble of LL controls the four LEDs. Bit 4 of LL controls the first LED, and bit 7 controls the last: The wiimote supports the legacy bluetooth pairing methods. This involves sending a PIN to the wiimote. Bluetooth pairing is not required to use a wiimote and you can proceed by establishing a HID connection without pairing at all. However, if the wiimote is paired, it will actively seek out for its last connected host on disconnection and reestablish the connection. The following section explains the bluetooth device pairing, if no pairing is required, skip this section. This atmospheric follow-up to Twilight Princess largely brought the more sophisticated motion controls and combat many fans were hoping for in that game.BBBB is the core Buttons data. VV is the current battery level, L is the LED state, and F is a bitmask of flags indicating, whether the battery is flat, whether an expansion is currently connected, etc. bytes control the speaker settings, including volume. The full purpose of these bytes is not known, but the following values seem to produce some sound: The Wii Remote Plus controller is the heart of the motion gaming experience on your Wii mini console. It responds to motion and rotation for enhanced control as you swing, swipe, thrust, or turn the controller. With Wii Remote Plus, your gaming experience becomes more active and immersive than you ever thought possible.
