With the slow rise of homebrew applications for the Nintendo Wii becoming a new trend in the community, developer marcan42 has fired up the homebrew scene with a new project which finally gives users access to the console's internal Bluetooth controller via the USB interface.

This means that we may be seeing more homebrew software which will make full use of the Wii's hardware very soon. The developer was able to give a small demonstration of how he was able to access the code for the Wiimote through the homebrew loader provided by Team Twiizers.

The next step marcan42 explains is to be able to connect a Bluetooth stack into the code and finally create a decent homebrew game out of the new information. For many of the end users, this may still seem like a very slow start, but it definitely spells good news for homebrew developers who want to build on this code.

To give you a better idea of how the developer was able to work on this homebrew project, here's a video of how he was able to access the Wiimote's interface through the recently released build of the Twilight Hack loader.

Team Twiizers already stated they have a fully working Wiimote driver already working, but for some reason don't want to release it just yet ... Anyways, great news.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
