Wiimote Colt 45 hack 'works every time'

by David Hinkle { Feb 14th 2008 at 6:00PM }

If you're like us, you remember Billy Dee Williams for one role he has ever played in his life: spokesperson for Colt 45 malt liquor. Forget those wars of stars or whatever, when he popped a top on a fresh 780oz can of the good stuff and told us how smooth the taste was, we knew he wasn't kidding. When the advertisement said "it works every time," we felt life had balance and we had learned our first truth in the universe

And now, the nickname of this Wiimote hack brings back many memories for us. When we laid eyes on the thing, it was as if a million voices cried out to us to post this. So, we did just that. Head past the break for some more screens from the creation of this thing and tell us what you think.

wtf?

seriously... That looks like a 1 button controller.

This isn't a "1 button controller", Both the A and B buttons were re-wired so the trigger is B and the hammer is A. I also made the d-pad more of a joystick and the nunchuck can be used/connected as normal.

So much for In-Flight Umbrella Chronicles...

So... You'd be completely unable to play anything that needed any other button than the B button. Eeeeh... Seems pretty stupid. You could play... ahn... The shooting stages in Rayman Raving Rabbids, but then... You, wait, YOU CAN'T. It doesn't allow nunchuks. XD This shit is useless!

Good Job doing the whole "reading" thing there buddy.

Anyways, that's very impressive. Now do a similar thing, but make an SMG with the nunchuck as a vertical foregrip. For comfort, it would have to be rotated on the Y-axis, so that the joystick faced diagonally outwards from the gun (or that's what I would do). Then you'd have the feel of a real gun without having a unnatural device in your left hand, instead of the backwards plastic wii zapper.
