Wiimote lightgun crosshair not moving

Unread post by barfood »

Here is my setup:

* MiSTer OS v210711
* Wiimote connected via Bluetooth to MiSTer
* Original Wii Sensor Bar connected to Wii U for power
* (I have confirmed the Wii pointer function to work correctly on the Wii U)
* The Wii buttons are detected by MiSTer, but not the pointing function.

I have followed the instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBoZDGn0e3U
Basically, in the NES core's input options:
- Swap joysticks: No
- Multitap: Disabled
- Serial Mode: None
- Periphery: Zapper(Joy1)
- Zapper trigger: Joystick
- Crosshairs: On

Interesting note, in the Lightgun Calibration (pressing F10 in the MiSTer menu), I the pointer doesn't seem detected at all. All values are stuck at 0000.

I know there was a bug in 2020 that created this behavior (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/issues/267), is this again the case?

Might be a dumb question, but do you have the power for the Wii U on when using MiSTer? The sensor bar won't have power if the console is off. You should also be able to look at the sensor bar through your phone camera and see the IR if it's working.
