I am pretty new to max and was hoping to use wiimotes for a uni assignment but I cant get it to work. The attached image is the console when I try to open the patcher. If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Hi
it's been a while since I tested my Wiimote+tk.wii, but I know for a fact it won't run under 64 bit versions of Max (unless it has been updated by the developer). See if you can get it to run under an older 32 bit version of Max (https://cycling74.com/downloads/older/).

Alternatively you can use Osculator. It allows you to use the Wii Remote as a midi interface in Max or any other music software. It works like a charm.

And of course, Osculator, with the proviso that it is OSX only. I believe tk.wii is the Windows alternative to aka.wiiremote.

Thanks to both, yes I am running on windows and it is 64 so I'll try the 32 bit version. If that doesn't work I'll try either Osculator or aka.wiimote on the macs at uni.
