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.

IR Leds, about a $1 each at the Scientific supply store on campus.

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...

whats wrong with bomberman?
fastbilly1 - Apr 30, 2007 - 09:52 PM

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.

ooh. This'll require hax... anyone know where the bomberman source might reside?

Go to the stick tournament thread in tigerlan upcoming, there is a link to the opensource bomberman clone.

Update - since I actually have time to post:
X-Blast - Opensource Bomberman meets Dynablast:
http://xblast.sourceforge.net/

And sorry about hijacking your topic Ash.

Global donination has a script for the House of the Dead pc game. Soon I hope to adapt it for mame. Then Ill just have to figure out how to mod a wiimote into a airsoft gun.
