How to play MapleStory with a Wiimote+Nunchuk

How to play MapleStory with a Wiimote+Nunchuk

I'm not a huge fan of Maple Story, but I have characters. I've been playing it since it's first Beta tests, and I have the bandanna to prove it :)

I haven't played it in a while but now my wife and best friend want to LAN party, so I wanted to spice the game up a little bit. Here's how I did that.

In this instrutcable, I will explain the steps to using a Wiimote to play MapleStory Global.

I Know I May take a bit of your time i want to swing my WiiMote Up Down Forwards and Backwards and the Nuncuck: Left Right Forwards and Backwards If you do this it might make this instructables even better! :) But GOOD JOB BTW! (note: your heaps good at programing T_T its so hard for me and that code is just to confusing.)

Not to be mean but why wold you wast your time making it work for Maplestory Maplestory no offense but it's a poor man's Wow.

Jan 31, 2010. 8:40 PMpokemon2539 says:

its a great game, and since maplestory is free to play then EVERYONE can play, except those with no computer and internet connection......
wow needs a fee to play, which means that wow hasnt got a good player list.
Maplestory has optional extras for those who pay

free games with optional extras get more players than pay2play games (ie. WoW)

Because it works, and it's fun. You should also note that Maplestory has been around much longer than WoW. Thanks for trolling!

Ok man don't assume I am stupid I know Maplestory has been around longer than Wow.

Jan 31, 2010. 8:15 PMpokemon2539 says:

same here

Jan 31, 2010. 8:19 PMpokemon2539 says:

oh wait, go to step one, (ppjoy wasnt installed)

To Gordon, first, nice name and secong a wow glove-pie script is already pacaged with glove-pie.

So, can this be used for any windows application and not just maple? and, is all that is needed is the remote, and a bluetooth adapter? do you have to have a wii for this to work?

Feb 3, 2009. 9:45 PMLunis (author) says:

Definately do not need a Wii, just a Wiimote.

Feb 4, 2009. 6:54 AMEasymac79 says:

Thank you. And my friend made a website explaining it all. I will post the link here if he says it's ok.

Isn't Buuf great?

Aug 16, 2008. 9:54 AMLunis (author) says:

Quite. When I used Windows, it was my poison of choice, along with Litestep.

Do you need an IR Sensor bar for this? I thought you needed one to pick up movement.

Oct 15, 2008. 8:38 PMLunis (author) says:

Nope. All movement controls used in this are based on the accelerometers. There's no way (that I know of) that allows a third-party app to control a "hack-protected" game or I would have added IR support, eliminating the use of a keyboard (essentially).

Oct 16, 2008. 4:17 PMl4nd0fc0nfu510n says:

Hmmm, then there's something wrong with my bluetooth dongle. I guess it should have been a clue when it wasnt listed on the list of bluetooth dongles you supplied. Not even tested.... The battery was kind of low on the wii remote I tried it on so I'll try a different one today.

Nov 26, 2008. 12:39 PMl4nd0fc0nfu510n says:

I don't know if my Bluetooth dongle will work because its not on the list you provide. Its a Belkin Model: F8T003 Version 2 It works fine for connecting the wii remote to the pc but I can't do anything with it.

May 7, 2008. 12:53 PMmega man 4bm says:

i have an ir sensor in my computer whats that?

Jun 27, 2008. 6:23 PMRokko8652 says:

first of all, ir means infared, and an ir sensor picks up data sent over an infared beam.

May 22, 2008. 3:51 PMJellyWoo says:

is ppjoy compatible with windows xp? when i install it there is a warning that says the program hasn't been aproved by the windows logo or something like that.

May 23, 2008. 5:14 PMLunis (author) says:

Tell it to "continue anyway". It's compatible, and the Windows Logo program is bollocks ;)

May 23, 2008. 6:44 PMJellyWoo says:

you're positive right, because i don't want bad side effects.

Jun 14, 2008. 10:27 PMtheburn7 says:

IT WILL WORK the logo thing means it isn't bought, sponsored by, or recognized by the Microsoft corp, it is just installing a driver, it'll be ok

May 23, 2008. 9:01 PMLunis (author) says:

No I'm just guessing I actually have no clue as to whether or not it will wor-- oh wait, yeah, I'm positive ;) I wouldn't say something like that unless sure.

May 24, 2008. 6:30 AMJellyWoo says:

lol

May 24, 2008. 6:03 PMJellyWoo says:

3 questions: Do you have to do the key configuration in maple story? I tried to use the wiimote in maple story but it isn't working. When i minimize PPJOY, why does it close? Thanks a lot:)

Jan 21, 2008. 5:30 PMJellyWoo says:

in the second step on the paragraph about ppjoy, you said "Next, use the EXE file to download a second ZIP file." how do you do that??? maybe a video or an exact explanation would help ( i have windows xp) thank:)

Jan 21, 2008. 9:19 PMLunis (author) says:

I have update the instructable. I am now hosting the complete package and no sandbox program is required. See step 2.

Jan 22, 2008. 1:15 PMJellyWoo says:

thanks but i still have a problem. i can't seem to open the ppjoy program. i click the website, click save the file (the file is rar), then i try to extract but there is nothing to extract, if i open it it doesn't open. what should i do?

Jan 22, 2008. 5:42 PMLunis (author) says:

Be sure to use the latest version of Winrar from RARLabs as other package programs don't necessarily work right with later versions of Winrar archives.

Jan 24, 2008. 1:36 PMJellyWoo says:

thanks!

Jan 21, 2008. 8:29 PMLunis (author) says:

The problem is that the author of that program has his application strewn across two hosts. The original file is on an old host and the new file is hosted by a file distribution service that requires you to use a "downloader" that will install spyware on your system. If I can contact the author then perhaps I can host the complete package, since both parts are needed to get it working. That's the best I can do right now, sorry.
