Play BF2 with your Wiimote :)

I saw someone playing PC games with their wiimote on youtube and had to figure out how they set it up.
Here's how.
If you want to use the nunchuk part of your wiimote, you'll need PPJoy, a joystick emulator. The download is wierd..has it's own downloader. Not sure why, but be assured it's not malicious.
It can be found here:

Once that's installed, you'll need to get another software called GlovePIE to script the wiimotes buttons. you can get it here:

Once it's installed, follow these instructions to pair up your wiimote. It might take a little monkeying, and you may need the newest bluesoleil bluetooth interface to do it.

Then you'll need to script in GlovePIE. It's simple scripting just mapping wii buttons to keyboard keys or joysticks. There are some examples that come with the GlovePIE download you can look at for a start, or you can check out a bunch of premade scripts here as well.

I set this up to see what it would be like to use the nunchuk in my left hand instead of the keyboard arrow keys, and the mouse in my right. Works out pretty decent, but I need WAY more buttons on the chuk in order for it to be useable for me.
If anyone else hooks this up and gets 'er runnin, post back. I might be able to answer some questions, but I didn't spend more than 30 min getting it working. Takes some messin, but it works!
