Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess-style

We have a YouTube video today from somebody who goes by the username of iosysred. According to the video notes, he's set up The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to be played using the Wiimote ala The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Iosysred says that this was achieved through the use of "the Wiimote, Project64, GlovePIE, my homemade sensor bar, and a Bluetooth USB dongle." As far as I understand it, he used Project64 to emulate Ocarina of Time and used GlovePIE to emulate the Wiimote's input system and to send that information as keystrokes to Project64. Okay, I'm not that well-versed on the technical aspects of the whole thing but you get my drift.

Anyway, check out the vid below. If you're thinking about doing the same thing, you could take a look at the Ocarina of Time GlovePIE script that we posted about a few weeks ago.

This is indeed the real deal. I hooked up my laptop to my 42"

LCD TV and used glovepie and an SNES emulator to run Zelda: A Link to the past using TWP controls.

The trouble is, for the circular swing of the sword, it was easier to use the B button to do it than swing the Wiimote.

Other than that, it worked really well.

Getting the Wiimote to run OOT is a no brainer. If you have Bluetooth on your PC, getting Glovepie to work is a breeze.

It's funny reading posts saying its fake, as with a little work on your part, you could be doing this too...

Why are people saying its fake, its not like it would be that hard to do, its already been done with WoW

This is NOT news. GlovePIE COMES with scripts to play OOT like TP and it works just fine. I've been replaying OOT for weeks like this. Just download GlovePIE, looking the Wii scripts folder and you'll see it there.

There are even scripts to play Mario Kart 64 like Excite Truck. Come on people, catch up a little.

this is impossible unless you reprogramme the game the analogue runs the the aim mode not any other button so stop all th BS

I have never used GlovePIE, however, I do know enough to explain how this could work.

GlovePIE is a program that reads the Wii remote's movements, buttons, etc. and returns them to the program currently running, such as, in this case, Project64.

So, assuming that, GlovePIE's OoT script could simply replace the Nunchuk's analog stick with the Wii remote's acceleration when you press a certain button, such as the c-stick left, then go back to nunchuk when you put away the item. This would mean that, basically:

It's using Nunchuk analog for N64 analog. You press D-Pad left, which is registered in Project64 as C-Stick left. You take out the slingshot, GlovePIE switches to Wii remote accelerations. Now, moving the wii remote would return the same movements as analog movements. Then, you press the button to put away the item (been a while since I played OoT so which button that is escapes me), and GlovePIE returns the Nunchuk analog. Simple enough, even for you, right?
