Yes that is nealry it. It is not an XMLSocket but simple Socket. You can just push the data direct. So in C i have something like package.writeByte(a.pressed()); and in Flash I just do a.pressed = data.readByte();

It is very nice because you loose a lot of overhead.

I already had that Wii via OSC working quite a while, its just really annoying and also not very elegant to do it that way I think. So from what I get you directly send the Wii data into an XML Socket which means you only need one programm to do the connection right? If so, would be great to see that … good work.

The link to the library is at the end of this post. But I would not recommend to use it any longer since it misses a lot of features (its good for multiple wiimotes, but you have to write your own functions to read the memory and stuff like that).

If you want to go the GlovePIE and Flosc way you may check out http://www.fwiidom.org/

what a dramatic video. This is already doable pretty easy but maybe a bit ugly when you dream about OOP at night or something ... just take GlovePIE, Flosc and get the WiiData via OSC. Works fast and fancy. What exactly is the difference of your approach and where is this C Lib?

I was hoping someone was going to figure this out… I guess it was only a matter of time… and really glad that it was you guys. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Thanks.
