Has anyone tried making a Wiimote work with myth? I know it requires some extra hardware, but it works well on the Wii. I was thinking about setting something like this up, using a USB bluetooth adapter, and buying a new Wii "sensor" bar and replacing the Nintendo plug with a USB plug. I've seen similar things done online, but I've never seen it applied to myth. I know Linux drivers are available for the Wiimote, but I'm not sure of their quality/integrity. I've used similar things for Mac (my only machine with the bluetoofs), but I found it to be buggy at best.
