First of all, thank you very much for this awesome software and forum.


I bought a  not Nintendo Wiimote here:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14237

It´s much cheaper than the original (32$ and free shipping) and a friend of mine told me it woks perfectly with the Wii console.

But...when I finished building my 3 point tracking assembly, only appears two points at the same time. Wiimote always joins in one point the two nearest, then in the cam view I only see two points.

I´ll post Pant caps to show what I mean but I´d like to know if someone had the same problem.
Maibe I must use an original Wiimote  $$ :(  $$

Thank you again

the nintendo brand wiimote can track 4 points, even though it only needs to track 2 for the wii, the wu brand wiimote probably only does what it has to, 2 point tracking. so it seems you lucked out :(

Well. I always can sell this one and buy an original Wiimote, thank you.

At least this post is useful for people to AVOID BUYING NON-ORIGINAL Wiimotes.

EDIT: Before renting an original Wiimote I can confirm that.

If you only need 1 point (non modded il2 for example) the Wu-brand works perfectly, and it has more sensibility to the Ir led than the original.

My Wiimote tracks only 2 points, too. Bought from ebay, for 30USD..Is it FAKE or REAL?
Can it be connection problem?

It's most likely not an official Nintendo Wii Remote.

There's some comparison pics here:

Nice clip btw.

Hello,

I bought it at buecher.de and it did cost ~39. Euro (EAN: 0045496890018). I did send it back but now i don't know who to buy a version that really works.

(Sorry for my bad English. I'm a "Kraut")
