I know there's been a straight driver written for linux, however I'm wondering if anyone's written one for windows yet?

I'm not talking about some extra program to interpret the wiimote into mouse coordinates.. why can't there just be a mouse driver that uses Wiimote input? Seems it'd be much easier and faster than a separate piece of software.

If someone could point me in the direction of a decent tutorial on basic driver programming I might be able to write one, but from everything I've seen it looks a little more complex than a standard program.

You've probably already seen this, and it is a seperate program, but if you set it to run at startup and auto connect your wiimote, then it's practically just the same as a mouse driver. The program's called "Wiinremote".
I'm not sure about this, but if you email the author of the program, you might be able to get the source code and convert it into a driver. Then again, I'm no expert (yet = ))
Here is a beginners guide on writing a driver:

Hope this helps,

Hey thanks, I guess, but it'd be much more useful if you read my post.

I know about Wiinremote, and thats why I said I'm looking for something that isn't third party, but a native driver for Windows.

Also the link goes to another link that's dead.

So nope, no help.

OK sorry about the dead links,
have you tried looking up how to make windows drivers in google?
Can't help you much more than that, though I'll keep looking for you.

Sorry,
abblis

has there been any updates on this? I would love to see a working driver!
