Two remotes with the buttons taped down. Other than that you can use any light emitting device. Or if you are really suave you will build a duplicate sensor bar with IR Leds. But since I cant find them in Atlanta I would think finding them in Auburn will be nigh impossible.
The remote idea is what I was going to use for UTR, but since I dont have the time not only to make it but to learn how to play UT with it, well it may not be at Tigerlan. |

Southern Electronics in Opelika should have them.
Frys, hobby stores, and electronics stores should have them in ATL. |

Frys do not, hobby stores also do not, and all the electronic stores from ham radio to rc planes also do not.
All stores claim they carry them - but none have them. The people at Frys just stared at me when I asked. |

It's like the Wal-Mart of electronics. Many thanks to fastbilly for introducing me to it. |

sorry about bailing on you at tigerlan about all this chief. But with low sleep, like I had all last week, my mind starts to surf and adding vista on top of that was just a bit over its ability. I can do the four hour a night thing, but two is pushing it, especially for most of the week. |

it ended up just being a problem with the bluetooth stack. I had read on a forum that other people had a problem like mine, but once you connect 2 wii motes to a single comp (it does support multiple wii-motes) it will solve the problem. Don't know why the first one i tried didn't work but w/e. |

Odd, But it brings me to the thought, how many Wiimotes can I have connected at once? If it is more than four well I may have just found my bomberman controllers. |

the bluetooth stack (the one i was reading about at least) only supports 7 devices connected to it at once. So, thats 7 wiimotes if you want... someone on the www.wiili.org forums had 7 running and working fine.
I imagine on a linux machine you could probably change the bluetooth stack to support 8, but i am not sure on that one. |

7 is enough, that means I could support 10 right now... I will work on this tomorrow night. But I still need you smart people to fix bomberman... |

Atomic only supports 10 players and on a small map. I want 20 players and double/quad sized maps. Double with dual monitor support would be the best idea. |
