Emulator

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... :(

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.'

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.

There is a .elf in the source download:

i've decided i hate the wiimote plugin too much

http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/diff?spec=svn1095&r=1095&format=side&path=/trunk/Source/Plugins/Plugin_Wiimote_Test/Src/wiimote_emu.cpp
change line 425 from 0x80 to 0 for each and cursor works with 1095

Issue 1225 has been merged into this issue.

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?

A fix was put into http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/detail?r=4012 . Give
it a whirl, jeff.

nice work :) I'll have to test it later

fix found and confirmed by vorte[x] (rafael.rivera)

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. :(
