WiiCade Labs launches improved Wii Remote API
Ever wondered what it would be like to play some of those nifty Flash games with a Wiimote or Nunchuk? Well, wonder no more. WiiCade Labs has developed a new version of its popular Wii Remote API (Application Programmer Interface).
This new and improved API now supports motion sensing (although it is only available on the Ir sensor on the remote), four player gaming and even Nunchuk support.
Here’s a list of the features that the API supports according to WiiCade Labs:
- Up to four remotes at a time
- X and Y screen coordinates
- Angle of rotation along the Z-Axis
- Distance from the television
- Information about button presses
- Selective enabling of browser shortcuts
- Ability to change browser’s background color
- Detection of remotes connecting and disconnecting
- Limited support for the Nunchuk attachment
The WiiCade Remote API was written by Jerason Banes based on a combination of original research information published by Nintendo and Opera, as well as research made by Mario Klingemann of the Quasimodo website.
Please take a look at their documentations and FAQ for more detailed technical information before installing this for your own personal use.
