Description
This is a super simple app to pair Wii remotes with Android devices. It searches for Bluetooth devices, identifies Wii remotes, and computes the correct pairing PIN so that the remote can be paired with your Android device. It also has experimental support for Wii U Pro Controllers and other Nintendo controllers that pair similarly.
DISCLAIMER: Wii remotes do not work with some or all of the devices produced by certain manufacturers. That is not a fault of this app, instead it is an issue with the Bluetooth stack on those devices. The Wiimote will pair correctly, but will then just flash indefinitely when trying to actually connect. These include: • Samsung (seems to affect all Samsung devices) • Xiaomi • Nvidia • Sony • OnePlus
Location permission is requested because Android requires it to scan for Bluetooth devices.

Recent changes: • Fix issue with Android 10 • Add experimental support for pairing Wii U Pro Controllers and other controllers that use the host device's Bluetooth MAC address instead of the controller's address

I thought for sure this was impossible since Android removed native Wilmot support and nobody has made an app like this before, but sure enough this app works flawlessly, and with the right configuration can be used to play most games with controller support. I can finally play Wii games on my phone with a real Wilmot! Of course the motion controls aren't detected by anything and as others have said, the + and - buttons don't work either, but this is barely an issue in gameplay.
★★☆☆☆
This does not work I tried to pair my Wilmot but it didn't show
★★☆☆☆
The wii remote does show up and when I click it it keeps saying "device isn't ready to pair, try again later"
