There was an Asteroids mod for Descent 3 (and it's remarkably good)....  It only takes one skilled modder with the drive to do it.

Hey litghost, the newest mPlayer CE has support for a better cIOS_usb2 that FS2 Wii doesn't recognize. Any chance you could add support for it in a future release? Here's the installer for it:

This is interesting anyway, just to show that the Wii can support a serious game and not another WAGGLE IT! WAGGLE IT! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO ****ING WAGGLE IT! game. So kudos, looks interesting for further development in terms of making stand alone Wii games.

Does motion sensor work? It has the potential to become great.

[Aardwolf]

Cooool.

[IronBeer]

Cool in concept, but I'd think you'd be missing a lot of important controls...

[redsniper]

Granted I haven't tried it. Anyhow, the wiimote should be held upright like a joystick and the nunchuk can be your throttle, and there you go: instant HOTAS.

Ah, but having shaky hands would suck

If you turn "Mouse" to "off" "Wiimote Pitch" is determined by the accelerometers instead of the IR.  "Wiimote Roll" is always done by the accelerometers, and "Wiimote Yaw" is always IR.

If it installs as IOS 202, it should just "work".  I have looked around for some documentation of the Hermes cIOS, and have not found anything.  Do you know where some docs for that module are?

[Fenrir]

I installed it to IOS202 (with IOS36 as the base) and it didn't work right. Conversely, the new mPlayer CE doesn't seem to recognize the old cIOS_USB2 so there must be enough of a difference between them to break compatibility both ways (I'd test this more but I don't have my Wii with me anymore). I don't know where the source/docs for it are, but I'll look around for those and post them when I've found 'em.

Finally found the source for it:

Where did you find it?  There is very little documentation.

[Fenrir]

I asked for documentation and/or the source on gbatemp.net and someone gave me that in response.

[SPARTAN-367]

Thats cool stuff.

[Fenrir]

Been a while since I've heard anything from this and was curious to see if this is still being worked on at all. I do have a request, though: Since IOS202 has pretty much been hijacked by MPlayerCE at this point (and made incompatible in the process), is there any chance of a future version being able to run off of IOS222 for USB 2.0 support? From what I understand, IOS222 is basically the same thing as the older IOS202 that's compatible with FS2Wii. The only difference is that it's in slot 222 instead of 202.

Only reason i'd put FS2 on my wii is here..

An idea I had that could make use of FreeSpace engine for the Wii involved the SoL's modded version, but they've stated that they don't want SoL to be used for homebrew, and that's okay. My idea is to use the models in FreeSpace and swap them with SoL's, FREDing missions specifically designed for the railed version. That way, it wouldn't be a Star Fox port at all, and there's already a rail shooter in the homebrew channel called "CosmoRaketti" so it proves that it's not a new idea for the homebrew. The idea's still a work-in-progress (I was waiting for the thread to be bumped for awhile) so I won't address the any possible control issue, but I hope that the SoL team would not condemn the idea.

I don't think that would work too well, given the Wii's hardware limits. Besides, didn't the guy who did the port use some old FSO version as a basis?
