Hello, we are having problem in connectivity with the wiimote whiteboard wiimote in the process of sending commands. Suggestion to solve this problem (And also unable to complete sending files via other mobile devices - eg, mobile). Thanks!
I’d love to see a version for Mountain Lion soon. I know I’d even be willing to support a Kickstarter project to that effect, if that’s what it took. I want to support an OS 10.8 version and be able to use this. Thank you,
-John
I couldn’t connect the wimote with my MacBook ,OSX version 10.8.2.
After installing WJoy 0.6 it worked fine , http://code.google.com/p/wjoy/
Anyone knows a whiteboard for mac “OSX version 10.8.2”
THX, hilario
Hi there, Thanks for the Mountain Lion fix. Wiimote Whiteboard now starts normally. However, I have been trying to connect a new (genuine) Nintendo Wiimote Plus to it, and the remote never connects to the mac. I have tried several times, including after a reboot. The log shows systematically:
FINE 08:24:28 WiiRemoteJ: Found Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR (2C10C1BC492E) FINE 08:24:28 WiiRemoteJ: Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR is NOT a known device.
The remote was NOT paired using MacOS Bluetooth utility. I eventually tried to pair it directly with the MacOS Bluetooth utility, and the remote was recognised by MacOS. I then removed the device from MacOS. After that, same log error as above about the Wiimote not being an unknown device…
My Wiimote batteries are charged (4 LEDs), I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.2, with the latest Java update by Apple (updated a few days back).
Any idea of what could go wrong? Advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Thibaut
Hello, do you think there will be a fix for Mac OS 10.8 ?
This is such a great tool…
Best regards, Herre
Uwe, The patch works great for Mountain Lion. I am able to calibrate. At first, my ir didn’t recognize the full screen. I realized that the Wiimote Whiteboard screen 1 wasn’t set for 1024x768. After I reset my screen in my system preferences, it wasn’t until I rebooted everything that it worked. (I’m a little slow, so it took me an hour to figure that out.) Anyhow, thank you once again, Uwe! You ROCK!
The software works perfectly under MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion with the patch. Thanks for the update.
Regarding the problem with my Wiimote that couldn’t connect, it seems that this is due to the new identification of the latest version of Nintendo Wiimote. These new wiimotes identify as RVL-CNT-01-TR (you can see that in the log window), which seems to confuse Wiimote Whiteboard and prevents it from connecting. Swapping my new Wiimote with an older one solved the connection problem, as the older ones identify as RVL-CNT-01 (with -TR at the end).
Therefore, BEWARE WHEN BUYING THE LATEST VERSION OF THE NINTENDO WIIMOTE, as these newer model won’t work with the current version of Wiimote Whiteboard!
This problem also seemed to confuse SmoothBoard, but the latest version of SmoothBoard fixes this issue, as seen here: http://www.smoothboard.net/wiiremoteplus/

Hi everybody,
I updated the app to work on OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion out of the box, i.e. making the launch script obsolete. Please download and try this updated version and tell me if it works for you.
Thanks, Uwe
Uwe…you are awesome. Worked great. Thanks again for all of your hard work and patience with us all. We just love your application and could not wait to begin using it again.
One more question…is wiimote whiteboard capable of recognizing 2 ir pens simultaneously?
Hi Uwe, thank you for te great work!
The old patch version already worked great! Somehow i had some problems syncing this new version with the WiiControl. Even by using the red sync button in the battery compartment no succes, but after removing the batteries and putting them back suddenly the syncing worked. Tried it several times and it syncs perfectly.
Great job!
Thanks, Herre
This looks very promising. When I run it, I got “Pairing Request from: Nintendo RVL-CNT-01” dialog and asked to enter the pairing code. I just ignored it, then dialog closes automatically and Wiimote connects with Bluetooth under Bluetooth Preference automatically. Then, I got “Connection failed. Please try again” message. How can I get it to pair with WiimoteWhiteboard?
Thanks, Andy
Hey. I don’t have a wiimote so is there ANY possible way to ummmm do it without and use something else like an emulator. I have everything except the wiimote and I do not want to get one. Worst come to worst I will buy one. PLEASE IF U HV ANY POSSIBLE WAY!!!!!!!
I am running Mac OS 10.7.5. When I touch the forth and last cross-hair on the calibration screen, my Mac screen goes black. pressing esc, spacebar, clicking on the screen, do not change it. I am unable to proceed. Any ideas?
hi i tried to connect the wii remote on windows seven on a lenovo built in blue-tooth but i just get an error message saying “failed to connect, not supported on winsock” please help
Hi Marc,
I was wondering if your machine is a school laptop as I had the same problem with a school laptop owned by the DET (Dept of Eduction) in NSW (Australia) as I had the same problem as you with my laptop as it was locked by the DET.

Hello. Wiimote guys..Actually the thing is we are having this Science exhibition in our state..Its probably a national one. One of the competitor is my friend and he too has devised this one of a kind Turn-Anything-Into-Touchscreen or something..Its identical to yours. He says that he devised it himself and probably someday he is going to patent it. I think its totally wrong..take someone else’s brilliant stuff and tell that its yours? Damn! Help me out here bro..I should have been in his place..He took away my chance wrongfully…So please do something. I would really be grateful if you help me out here. Thank you :) I am posting a contact no : 0361-2267768 it would be awesome if you could help me. Thanks.
hi i tried to connect the wii remote on windows seven on a acer aspire lap built in blue-tooth but i just get an error message saying “failed to connect, not supported on winsock” please help
In case anybody else ends up here looking for stuff you should know that there are now two working alternatives that don’t involve this hack. The software had bugs, not the OS, so no need to patch the OS.
When I connect my Wiimote to my Macbook Pro, it shows 2 Visible IR Dots without any IR source. Also whenever I use the IR Camera Monitor the dot moves only in the lower left hand side and doesn’t seem to go anywhere else except that region. What could possibly be the problem?
I’m trying to use this with my macbook pro, but it won’t calibrate. my inferred pen works, but when i use it with the application…. I noticed my Ir camera monitor only has 2 visible dots but i have no idea what that means

Hi Uwe,
I noticed that the source code had some hints of multi-screen support. Is that something that you’re still planning on delivering? Not sure how active the project is.. but the basic features work perfectly on my setup (using a rear-projection screen)!
Thanks for everything and congratulations!
The new OS update 10.8.5 blocks the software from running. It appears to launch (icon bounces for a long time) and then unexpectedly quits. The wiimote screen never appears. Any suggestions or help?
Hi Uwe,
Your update for Mountain Lion users has been great and I have so appreciated you taking the time to put it out there. I have used it this past year with no issues…until about a week ago when I updated to 10.8.5! It seems that Apple has yet again reconfigured the Bluetooth startup and now the work-around for the command shell isn’t no longer working. Any ideas for yet another work-around?
Thank you so much again for all you have done with this.
Tyler
I am getting same after I updated to 10.8.5. Would love to be able to run this app again.
Ive got mac osx 10.8.5 the software keeps on failing any results for this problem.
Hey everyone,
I’ve downloaded all of the new apps that support the new Lion on a Mac. However, I’m still getting the black screen after calibrating the board. Any ideas? Any other programs to try?
I’m a classroom teacher and have used this for years, but no it’s failing and I’d love to fix.
Thanks! Lucas
I hate to say it to, but 10.8.5 has left me stranded as well, thank you for your help this far and any other solutions would be greatly appreciated!!!
To everyone (particularly the developer) who worked on this software: Thank you. I haven’t used it yet but am going to start now. My questions are, for a first time user: A. Does it work “out of the box” with 10.8.5 and B. Do any versions of the Wii Mote cause problems. Thanks for your time
OSX 10.9 is here… Are you working on an update that will be able to fix the problems ? Thanks.
Hello. In Mountain Lion MacOS X 10.8.5 failed. In Mavericks MacOS X 10.9 failed.
Please anyone help us with the upgrade.
Want this to work for my classroom. Cannot get remote to connect. Getting a “not supported on winsock” message. I think the problem is that i’m running windows 7. Any solutions out there?
