Hello so for awhile now I have encounter a problem where if I point the Wii remote at my screen the cursor flickers a lot which is really annoying and especially if the cursor is point at a button in a menu. I have tried swapping senor bars, I have tried cleaning them and checking if there was any interference going but none of that worked and lastly I tried swapping Wii remotes but still the same result. Does anyone know a solution for this problem?

Have you tried setting the sensitivity in the settings? You should clearly see 2 dots as you move the wiimote around. You can adjust it between 1-5. If you can see more than 2 dots it's picking up something else as an infrared source, eg candle, light, sun, even reflections if you have a mirror.

Well, I've experienced something like that, the problem was after the flickering, my cursor became so wacky that disappeared from the screen. I tried out on my vWii and didn't appeared. I googled for information of how to repair wii remote camera (since the cursor or pointer is a small camera) but I couldn't find any information. Finally, the problem was solved (in my personal case) pushing the sync button on Wii U, then pushing the sync button on the wii remote, and finally waiting for the syncing. I had to do it several times, up to my pointer appeared again , without the flickering.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
