Hello
If all you want is Wii remote functionality in STK, someone here was working on that earlier. I'm not a programmer either, but if
Nintendo's are as serious about "closed" architecture as I think they are, getting the Wii-remote to work in STK should be much
simpler.
Several years ago, one of Nintendo's main technical men were asked about the possibility of hobby development on the Gamecube. He
basically referred to it as "closed" architecture, and indicated they had no interest in such activity.
Console manufacturers frown upon unauthorized persons tinkering with their software platform. Their position is anyone who wants to
write software for their machine should pay them for the privilege, and they do their level best to enforce it. Right or wrong, that's the
paradigm of closed architecture.
Thank God Microsoft didn't get to do the same thing with the IBM PC.
