|
|
| I would like to know for future knowledge how drivers are made. I know there is already one for the wii but there will always be new systems coming out. If anyone could help me or link a how to that would be great. |

The wii realisticly doesn't run off of a "drive" it has flashram for things like storing memory(etc), I guess this is what your asking???

| no, what i meant is when the creator of glovePIE was writing the software how did he know what was going to come from the wii remote. eg: when you hit the "A" button say it sends wiimote.a to whatever it is connected to. How did the developer know to listen for wiimote.a? |

Read the wiki. Or just use someone else's program. I wrote a library in Java, so that should last for the foreseeable future.

This and this were both excellent resources for me. Used it to develop a full featured library in C. How they obtained that information was probably by capturing data sent between the wii and wiimote when they knew what was supposed to be happening and figured out what all the bytes meant. I'm not 100% on how they reverse engineered it, but it was probably a long and complicated process.
