Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Load Homebrew that uses Wii Remote.
  2. No connection, no Cursor or buttons, depending upon version.
    3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Wii Remote emulated with mouse and A and B buttons available.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN 1094 Win32 Release - Wii Remote works as expected (mouse moves cursor,
Left and Right mouse buttons are A and B buttons).
SVN 1095 Win32 Release - Wii Remote buttons work, but no Cursor.
SVN 1514 Win32 Release - Wii Remote status in status bar always says 'Not
Connected.'

Please provide any additional information below.
I think the Win32 debug versions might have other issues, but I've only
tested and verified the versions above on the Win32 Release builds.

I can confirm this issue. The last unofficial build that I was able to initialize
the WiiMote via Homebrew was the SVN 1400 Win32 Release. Then next version that I
was able to obtain was SVN 1449 Win32 Release in which I was unable to initialize the
WiiMote via Homebrew. So the change causing this behavior most likely happened
between 1400 and 1449.

I did some more troubleshooting after tracking down some more builds in between 1400
and 1449. Builds 1402 and 1403 still have working WiiMote Homebrew support. I
couldn't get Homebrew to run on Builds 1413, 1420, or 1421. I can tell you that
Builds 1400, 1402, and 1403 all still have working WiiMote Homebrew support with the
Plugin_Wiimote.dll from Build 1727 so the issue is most like in the core code and not
the plugin code.

The latest I could get to work with homebrew (and lwbt) was revision 800.

ok i take that back, since that particle accelerator app only uses the basic buttons,
it seems to be a bit of an exception :S

Does anyone know around what revision was the last time you could have a wiimote,
emulated or real, work in homebrew? (and by "work" I mean buttons+accelerometers+IR)

I really can't remember... :(

Can you please say what your testcase is, because atm I'm using a slow and crappy
method of testing :)

I'm just using my homebrew 'WiiCalc'. It's a pretty simple program, (A) to clear to
splash screen, and there is a hand for the cursor.

In the latest SVN (3972), the Wiimote works with a loaded WADs. It doesn't, however,
work with DOLs/ELFs. How strange.

I noticed that reports/events never get sent to the Core when using the latter, some
sort of initialization issue? How does Dolphin handle these binaries that also import
libwiiuse?

Rafael.Rivera, could you upload the source to your "test.dol" from comment #13? Your
test works for me, but I can't get my homebrew to do the same thing. :(
