Wiiji is the perfect joystick solution for Wii remotes on Mac. With Wiiji, your Wii remotes will appear as ordinary joysticks to any application that supports joystick input. It does this through a kernel extension. If your favorite game doesn’t support joysticks, Wiiji can emulate keyboard input too. It runs conveniently in your menubar.

Wiiji Does:

    * Support Wii remote, nunchuck, and classic controller.
    * Use all buttons and analog joysticks.
    * Emulate an HID joystick interface for each connected Wii remote.
    * Emulate keyboard input.
    * Provide the source so you can modify it to your needs.
    * Support Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.4, Universal Binary!

Wiiji Doesn’t (Yet):

    * Support IR input.
    * Support Wii remote/nunchuck rotation/translation sensors.
    * Emulate mouse input.
    * Calibrate the joysticks. (But your game probably does.)

Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme.

Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition.

Wesnoth has many different sagas waiting to be played out. Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate heir… step into the boots of a young officer sent to guard a not-so-sleepy frontier outpost… vanquish a horde of undead warriors unleashed by a foul necromancer, who also happens to have taken your brother hostage… guide a band of elvish survivors in an epic quest to find a new home.

200+ unit types. 16 races. 6 major factions. Hundreds of years of history. The world of Wesnoth is absolutely huge and limited only by your creativity - make your own custom units, compose your own maps, and write your own scenarios or even full-blown campaigns. You can also challenge up to 8 friends - or strangers - and fight in epic multi-player fantasy battles.
