my guess is they hacked a wiimote and a chiclet together.
The chicklet is based around the USB standard, whereas the wii is meant to be used wirelessly via the bluetooth standard.


They must have had it connected to a PC (drivers exist for this), then had the PC sending data to the inputs of the OI. Or they were faking or joking around or something.

Here is wiinRemote, a program to use the wii remote on your PC: http://onakasuita.org/wii/index-e.html. You need bluetooth capability. If you got the source code and modified it, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to get data onto the OI.
