Hi,
I used the Wiimote pretty seemlessly on my Dell laptop, but the processor was cooking, so I wanted to try it out on my PC running XP. I've tried the Rocketfish Micro and the Abe Dongle from Lego. Nothing seems to work on this system. I know it's connecting. But for some reason, when I launch the app, it doesn't hand it over to the Wii. The Rocketfish insisted on a passcode and wouldn't accept an empty field. The Abe just keeps blinking indefinately.
I've tried everything to get it to connect.
The only thing that I can think of that is different on the PC is that it is running Service Pack 3.
Has anybody gotten the Wiimote to communicate directly with ackwii running SP3?
I'm thinking maybe they handle authentication differently in SP3 or something.
I'm running out of ideas. I REALLY want to get this to work on my PC the same as it did on my laptop. I didn't want to have to use GlovePIE or BlueSoleil if I can find an alternative.
Let me know if you have any suggetions.
