Support for latest version of Wii Remote Plus

[adamantivm]

As described in the Debian bug tracker: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=669623

There is a proliferation of Wii Remote Plus which have a new device name and ID. The latest code in cwiid doesn't contemplate for these new IDs. But even changing these IDs is not enough to make the new devices work - apparently there is new reverse engineering to be done.

I would be happy to contribute the work to make this happen, but I would need some guidance on where to start.

Hi adamantivm,

I made use of this page to make the reverse engineering. It could be a good point to start from.

Hi Sergi,

Thanks for the link! Unfortunately I already got rid of my new Wii Mote and bought an older one instead. Shame, it would have been fun.

I made a kinda-sorta pass at implementing some random stuff someone suggested, vis-a-vie getting new WiiMotes working:
rektide#1

I haven't seen any signs of life yet from this fork, but there's a bunch of examples of other daemons posted into the issue that do work. This is probably a great project to learn about debugging native extensions in. :)

Hi!
I have one of the newest Wii Remote Plus, and today I found out the hard way (During a presentation :P ) that it doesn't work.
How can I help debugging this issue?
