Use the Wii Controller

So you've got yourself a Wii, congratulations! Now it's time to figure it all out. The Wii Operations Manual will guide you through setting up the various sensor devices and settings you can manipulate. Most of these settings are a matter of personal preference and will not affect game play.

Steps

  1. Once you've Install Homebrew on Your Wii (System Menu 4.0) your Wii, pick which game you're going to play.
  2. Make sure that the sensor is in front of the area where you want to be while playing.
  3. To manipulate the controller on the screen, point the controller to a point on the screen, and a corresponding icon will appear where you are pointing, and you will be able to move it by simply moving the remote, and pointing at different locations on the screen.

Tips

  • Be sure not to block the sensor in any way.
  • Try thinking carefully about what you're trying to imitate/perform. You may be over exaggerating the motions inadvertently. Small motions may register better than unnecessarily large ones.
  • Most games require you shake the controller instead of swinging it.
  • It helps to know how the Wii remote picks up motion. It can detect rotation in 3 axis (directions), and speed of straight movement in 3 axis. It can also detect its position relative to your TV in 3 dimensions.
  • If you've tried and tried, and still can't quite perform the action you're going for, move the remote just slightly towards the screen at the end of the action. A movement of {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} is usually sufficient.
  • Don't sway your remote quickly if the pointer is not working. Instead, move it slowly and wait for it to appear.

Warnings

  • All new Wiis being shipped now include a free Wii Jacket. This is a glove-like object that you slip over your Wii Remote. It protects it from damage, and reduces the risk of injury to objects, people, or even the remote itself! You can go to Nintendo.com to get a free one if you got your Wii before they started doing this.
  • If you have a thin wrist strap, you must replace it with a new version of the wrist strap. The reason is because the old version can break easily due to its poor strength. Refer to Nintendo.com to know the old and new version of the wrist strap. When you are on Nintendo.com, go to the customer service section and look for "Important Wrist Strap Information".
