Hello I have some questions about the wiimote and this seems like the best place to ask. I know the peripherals contain a ID to tell the Wiimote or Wii what is attached. Does anybody know if this is stored in eeprom or rom of the peripheral.

It's stored in the peripheral. However, when an extension is connected, you read from the control registers which is the same process as reading from the Wii Remote memory, so I can understand your confusion. However, the data definitely resides on the peripheral.
Here's a good explanation of control registers: http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Wiimote#Control_Registers
Cheers!

Ah thanks I guess what I had planned isn't that possible.
