Homebrew Is there any way to use a USB mouse as Wii Cursor on real hardware?

I just wanted to know because a Wiimote isn't always the best pointing device for some apps.

Get this:

Then connect the SNES MOUSE and it'll work.

Can it be with a normal mouse instead of being the SNES one?

I do not know of any way of using a mouse instead of a wiimote. The wiimote reports an absolute position from the LEDs in the sensor bar, whereas a mouse only gives relative movements. You may be able to find Classic Controller patches for some games if you don't like wiimote+nunchuk.

Which game are you having difficulty with?

I'm not talking about specific games, I'm talking about the whole system (Wii Menu, etc.) Is there any adaptor, cIOS, or homebrew app that does that?

When in the Wii Menu, the left analog stick takes control of the cursor when the Wii Remote is not pointed at the screen. The Classic Controller can navigate through the Message Board, settings menus and Wii Shop Channel.​
