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.

Can it be connection problem?

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

There's some comparison pics here:

Nice clip btw.

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