Then it is illegal as the wiimote needs batteries to work.

My guess earlier was a pretty extreme hardware hack that wired to USB and then a chiclet. But, you said no wires.

The laptop seems like the logical bet. That program is easy to use, and it's not to hard to rig up a few analog or digital outputs from a laptop (atleast not for us robotics teams).

But, once again... if it is wireless... it is entirely illegal due to the fact that requires external power and only the chiclet is allowed external power.
