Using Wii Remote+ for old Homebrew Apps

[TheDerpyDolphin]

Is there a way to modify old homebrew apps that only support original Wii controllers (RVL-003) so that they work with the newer controllers with Wii Motion Plus built in? Wanting to play 4P Super Mario War with my friends but I only have 2 OG controllers.

you'll need to modify a bit the source code for make them compile with devkitPPC r26 or newer, these versions have support for compiling for work with newer Wiimote Plus.

Is this still a thing? Ihad this problem in the menu (GX loader) but it got fixed through updates, if I remember correctly.

Yeah but no all homebrew was updated, so if you want a very old homebrew to work with "newest" controllers you need to modify the source code and complile with latest libs

not necessarily the latest libs. i think since libOGC 1.8.15-1 and devkitPPC r26 these are compatible with Wii Remote Plus.

you are right, instead "latest" "newer" will suit better
