All right I received a mail saying, my bluetooth software doesn’t look like yours (see this article). That’s possible because there are several bluetooth packages being used, in this article I’ll try to explain how you can connect your WiiRemote to Windows XP while using the Microsoft bluetooth stack.
Prerequisites (what you need to get it working):
- Hardware
- Computer
- Bluetooth adapter (an adapter for using an open wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances).
- Wii Remote (also known as a wiimote, the primary controller for Nintendo’s Wii console)
- Software
- Windows XP
Connect WiiMote to Windows by accessing the control panel (Start / Control Panel) and select “Bluetooth Devices”.
Click the “Add” button.
Select “My Device is set up and ready to be found”, now press 1+2 on your WiiMote and click “Next”.
Select the found Nintendo device and click “Next”.
Select don’t use passkey and click “Next”.
Click “Finish”
If all went well your WiiRemote is now connected.
You can disconnect your WiiMote by either pressing the red button on your WiiMote or by right clicking your WiiMote-icon and select disconnect.
