ButtonCast is a tool that lets your Wii work as a controller hub. It connects through TCP to different apps like those on your computer, Android, iOS, or even another Wii.

It sends button presses from all your devices to these apps. This means you can use all your controllers like Gamecube Controllers, Wiimotes, Nunchuks, Guitars, Dance-Mats, on any app that supports ButtonCast, no need for extra adapters. You could even play multiplayer games with up to 8 players, with 4 Wiimotes and 4 Gamecube Controllers supported.

The download package includes sample code to help you add ButtonCast support to your own apps, plus the Wii hub app.

-'''ButtonCast''' is an Input Device Tunneler (Caster) which allows your Wii to act as a Controller-Hub.
+ButtonCast is a tool that lets your Wii work as a controller hub. It connects through TCP to different apps like those on your computer, Android, iOS, or even another Wii.
-It connects via TCP to any application of choice (be it on PC, Android, iOS or even another Wii if you wanted) and tunnels the Button Presses of ALL devices to said application for handling.
+It sends button presses from all your devices to these apps. This means you can use all your controllers like Gamecube Controllers, Wiimotes, Nunchuks, Guitars, Dance-Mats, on any app that supports ButtonCast, no need for extra adapters. You could even play multiplayer games with up to 8 players, with 4 Wiimotes and 4 Gamecube Controllers supported.
-This allows endusers to use all of their Gamecube Controllers, Wiimotes, Nunchuks, Guitars, Dance-Mats, etc. on any ButtonCast enabled application out there '''without the need of buying physical adapters'''.
+The download package includes sample code to help you add ButtonCast support to your own apps, plus the Wii hub app.
-In theory, it would even be possible to have 8-player-multiplayer-matches using this application as it transfers a full set of 4x Wiimote and 4x Gamecube Controller input data.
-Sample Code on how to add ButtonCast input support to your own applications is included in the download package, along with the Hub application for Wii.

-==How to Setup==
-Open the zip. Copy the apps folder to your SD and have a look at the readme's and into the SDK folder. Have a look at the structure.c file. This is a basis and starting point for you.
-The hard part is knowing how to program and building your windows/mac/linux program / application.
-You may also want to have a look at ButtonSpell.zip. It's a proof of concept that links Wii dancemats to a pc clone of DDR, called stepmania.
