Real Wiimote Doesn't work in OSX
0%
Description
The Wiimote plugin fails to work in OSX due to us initializing and
connecting to the Wiimote on one thread, and then sending/receiving data
for it on another.
I made a test program a while back that only uses the main thread, and our
WiiUse implementation on OSX works fine.

My temporary fix for this is scons switch that excludes WiiUseSrc from being
built/linked, which only lets me use the emulated wiimote tho.
Any interrest in it, or do you want to fix the real cause for once and for all?

Seems something I haven't noticed is that WiiUse hangs forever if the Bluetooth
device is disabled, waiting for a connection, but enabled, it waits the required time
and continues on it's way when it doesn't find any Wiimotes. But even if it does find
Wiimotes, games can't write/read to/from it due to the threading issue.

Surprisingly, this doesnt seem to happen on Windows (or Linux).
I got an USB Bluetooth dongle, which is rarely ever plugged. But I did notice that
the OSX WiiUse code does not make any use of the timeout parameter.
