[reAPP]Wiimote controller

shadowmike · Jan 14, 2013

Recent searching brought fear thinking my Wiimotes wouldn't work on the kindle, apparently alot of jellybean devices wont properly connect to the wiimotes due to changes in android. So i searched for a dev released app and found this one on the nexus forums, its a few years old but works great.

My uses are Emulators, quick navigation while in car, and just to show off that i can control the kindle or any non htc sense with a wiimote.

I've used this app quite a bit. Works like a charm on my KFHD, especially with the attachments (Hori Fight Stick, Classic Controller, etc.)

My KFHD has replaced my Wii Virtual Console, more or less.

Hi, I am new to this and I was wondering how you got your wiimote to work with your KFHD? I have been trying countless of times to connect it but nothing. It always says, "0 wiimotes found" I was doing some searching and I read that you need an official wiimote made from Nintendo. Is that true? Because I have a generic one. Also, my version is 7.2.3 does that matter as well? I would really appreciate it if you can help me out. I am getting ready to pull my hair out. Thanks!

I want to use it as well for emulators but it doesn't seem to work. I have tried it so many times but nothing happens. it says, "0 wiimotes found" Yeah I did countless of times but nothing. What app do you use to connect? Also, so the version doesn't matter?

Raymond199483 · Mar 8, 2013

I have the same version you have to hold it down when the kindle scans

What do you mean to hold it down when the kindle scans? Do you have wiimote controller app? What am I doing wrong? Why isn't it connecting? Does it have to do with the kindle? Can you tell me step by step what you did in order to connect it? and the app you used as well? That will mean a lot.

I have the same app did you enable it in the keyboard settings

Yeah, wiicontrollerIME that's the first thing I do, than I initiate and connect and it says, "0 wiimotes found" I don't know what's wrong with app or maybe the kindle? I tried again but I got the same response.

This method works for the KFHD7: http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/misc/guide-use-your-wiimote-to-play-emulators/

Bluez IME: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hexad.bluezime&hl=en

You'll also need the HID Enabler specifically to get the Wiimote working: http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/downloads/detail?name=BluezIME-HIDEnabler.apk

Alright let me give this method a try. See if it works, thank you so much! and if it doesn't work than something is wrong with the kindle...

Huh, than what's wrong? Could it be the controller? It's a generic brand. We have the same firmware, model, app, & it works for you but not for me. What could it be? Thanks again for helping me out! I really appreciate it! Thank you!!

Re: [Q] Disable HW Overlay?

It's possible that the generic remote is the problem. I have read this elsewhere.
