Adding support for Wii Mote.

[Ilovemyhous]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To be honest, I don't know if this is a problem on my side, or if it is lack of the controller support.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding support for the Nintendo Wii Mote (along with Motion Plus and accessories like Nunchunk if possible).

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only games that support the Wii Mote is the Dolphin Emulator.

Additional context

The Wii emulator Dolphin has support for Wii Motes, and is Open-Source, so you could maybe find how they manage the connections.

What do you mean by Wiimote support?
Every gamepad can be mapped with AntiMicroX.

Anyway, we are not going to implement any changes, because it is too niche controller.

[Ilovemyhous]

I connected it, and it doesn’t show up, even though I update the Joysticks.
But if you don’t wanna it, I won’t bother you anymore.

It is not AntiMicroX issue, it is rather caused by wrong drivers or something like this.
Every device recognized as a gamepad/joystick should be visible in AntiMicroX.

[Ilovemyhous]

I tried with Linux Mint 20.2, and Garuda Linux, and on both systems, it didn't show up.

You should also try with app jstest-gtk if that one also doesn't see your wiimote, then something is wrong with your drivers/system config.

[Ilovemyhous]

Doesn't see it too. :/
As you said, it's either an driver, or OS issue.

[pktiuk]

Neither of these applications recognizes it as a joystick.
Then problem is somewhere in your system.

Maybe dmesg would tell you more.
You have to investigate it by yourself.

Having the same issue. Could you please reopen this issue?

No, I won't reopen this issue.

This is not AntiMicroX issue. This is missing driver in your system (if any other app doesn't see this controller) or bug in SDL2.

Steam sees the wiimote.

Steam sees the wiimote.

Then this is not a driver issue.

Could you test it with app sdl-jstest? It is also based on SDL and if that app works (with the same SDL version as AntiMicroX - 2.26.5), then it will show that there is a bug in the AntiMicroX.

[mak448a]

Since it looked like I had to compile sdl-jstest, I just used jstest-gtk (hopefully similar)

It detects all buttons except the dpad

@mak448a
Unluckily not. This app does not use SDL for detecting gamepads.

In case this is of interest to anyone, I have a wiimote (Nintendo Wii MotionPlus) working in AntiMicroX (AntiMicroX-x86_64.AppImage - v3.3.4). I'm on Debian (Trixie) with KDE. Other than having a bluetooth adapter, I didn't need to do anything else to get the wiimote connected. All buttons are recognized. I don't think AntiMicroX supports the gyro though unfortunately.
