Try glovepie or something similar to xpadder.

EDIT: Oh, if you have only used the wiimote on Dolphin, then first you need to configure the wiimote has a standard controller. You need GlovePie or WiinRemote to configure it's actions. This will make the wiimote a standard game controller that will be recognized by most PC games (except the ones that use the Xbox 360 controller exclusively).

ah how do i configure it to be a standerd controller.. i dont fully understand how it all works but what i tryd so far is connect it to my pc using bluetooth then i open glove pie and load script and click run.and then tryd testing a game one instance skyrim the other gamecube on dolphin..but they both dident work. im not sure how to set it up properly. allso when u say xbox 360 controllers dose that meen games like dark souls wont work?

EDIT: it seems that installing PPjoy is a mess in Windows 7. It was very easy in XP, but I couldn't install it on 7. I will try other options : /

The process is a little bit more complicated, but not that difficult. Here is a small guide:

http://videojuegosyemuladores.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/wiimote-nunchuck-script-with-glovepie-and-ppjoy/

You need PPjoy and GlovePie. PPJoy creates a virtual joystick, GlovePie gives the instructions to the virtual joystick (for example, you can set Joystick button 1 = wiimote shake in glovepie, so in a game you select your virtual joystick as your controller and when you shake the wiimote, the game detect this as the button 1). Once this is done, you should be able to see your controller on "Devices and Printers" (Windows 7) just like any normal PC controller.

For games that use the Xbox 360 controller exclusively, you will need one extra thing:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21651954/x360ce%20vibmod%203.1.4.1.zip

That's a Xbox controller emulator. It will make the game think that you controller is a Xbox 360 one.
After you have finally configured you wiimote as standard controller, unzip that file and open XinputTest. You will see a interface with the Xbox 360 controller. There, simply match the button and actions (for example, the wiimote tilt to the left analog stick). Once that's done, copy the files "xinput1_3.dll" and "x360ce.ini" to the Sonic game's folder where the main exe is. This will carry the button layout you made with XinputTest to the game and the game will detect your VirtualController/wiimote as a Xbox 360 controller. This work with any other game that requieres or uses a 360 controller

So basically is wiimote >GlovePie>PPjoy = Standard controller. Then you add Xinput if the game uses the 360 one (like Skyrim).

I actually want to try this myself, years ago I connected my wiimote to the PC succesfully and it was very fun, but I have to find the bluetooth thing >_>

I recommend that you start with something simple. Create a Virtual Joystick with PPjoy and configure the A of the wiimote as button 1 in Glovepie. If that works (test the controller in "Devices and Printers"), carry on. Don't try to make the whole controller work at the first try or you will go crazy.

Good Luck!

wow thanks for all that detaild info im gona try this

[Chillin]

im a bit confused. iv downloaded PPjoy enabled test mode to instal it. clicked on ppjoy and i have ppjoy virtual joystick 1 listed under configure joysticks. is that all i ahve to do now i just run glvoe pie or am i supost to click the mapping button..if so i cant do that beacuse it gives me canot read mapping from joystick message...im finding it mad hard to find help online 2. :S

[Raiden_chino]

Once PPjoy is installed, write in GlovePie something like this (without the quotes):

"PPjoy1.digital1 = Wiimote.One"

And click RUN. This means thant the button 1 of the virtual controller is the button 1 in the Wiimote.

Go to devices and printers an test if the button is working in your virtual controller.

[Chillin]

thanks for replying again. i did what u said and went to device and printers but i dunno what to do there. i have Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 but nothing about testing virtal controller.

[Chillin]

update.im not sure about the ppjoy on device and printers but i have got the wiimote working as a script on glvoe pie now. still learnign to script. will report back when i got the script done. and see how it gose from there. thanks again for ur help

It's not perfect but maybe you could adapt it to your needs.

[Chillin]
