WiiCi Peripheral Mapper
Utilizing Peek’s (2008) Managed Library for Nintendo’s Wiimote as its heart, the WiiCi Peripheral Mapper (WiiPM) is a functional windows-based application written in C#, that provides facility for keyboard, mouse and joystick mapping/emulation.
In addition the WiiPM also provides facility for peripheral input data capture and a basic capacity for the replay and analytic of any captured data.
As with GlovePIE, WiiCi Mapper currently utilizes the Parallel Port Joysticks driver (PPJoy) to provide joystick style functionality, via its virtual joystick interface. However it is aimed to remove this dependency within future iterations.

WiiPM not only provides facility for the Wiimote to be mapped to the windows system but also most of its accompanying extensions such as the Wii Classic Controller and Wii Nunchuck.
Mapping functionality is provided via the use of several panels each of which enable a user to configure each of the Wiimote’s physical inputs to any desired keyboard or mouse input combination. In effect this enables the Wiimote to be seen by the system as any of the highlighted devices, limited only by the volume of inputs available from the device.

Customizable feedback is provided by the feedback mapping panel, enabling a user to set flags which in turn allow the system to operate any of the Wiimote’s feedback mechanisms, such as the rumble feature.
WiiCi Mapper will soon be publicly available as part of the WiiCi Suite!
