[Papervision3D] hooking up my wii

Mon Apr 2 09:51:08 EDT 2007

Nice, thanks Adam!

Yeah, I found that there were newer drivers on Kensington's site and it took
forever to install them.  But in the end, they didn't make it work either.
In fact, I found a few posts from guys having the same exact problems with
the Kensington.  One guy installed Toshiba drivers and they worked with the
Kensington.  I'm kinda leery about that, I'd hate to have it hacked that
bad.  Might just go get a different dongle.
