Re: Wii Remote will not connect with my Mac Pro!

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
I can reproduce this problem on OSX 10.8.2.

The Wii Remote Plus (built in MotionPlus) use a Bluetooth model RVL-CNT-01-TR whereas the older Wii Remotes use model RVL-CNT-01. There are some reports where some Wii Remote Pluses still use the old Bluetooth model, but I cannot personally confirm. These newer Wii remotes are now the default controllers that come with the new Wii U.

I get the same console error messages.

It pairs, but disconnects almost immediately (sync button is required for initial pairing, 1+2 nor sync will hold the connection after remote is paired).

I can get the same remote working on Dolphin 3.5-322 gamecube/wii emulator, but it cannot be paired via 1+2 anymore (only the Red sync button). Neither method works for Remote Buddy 1.23. Will definitely buy RB once I can confirm that it works with the Wii Remote Plus.

DarwiinRemote does NOT support Wii Remote Plus too (as if Mountain Lion didn't make this hard enough); I have yet to find someone with a working IR mouse implementation with the newer Wii Remote Plus.

EDIT: WJoy 0.5.1 I can confirm pairs with the RVL-CNT-01-TR model on OSX 10.8.2. The program and source can be found in the creator's google project page.
