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.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
