How to Install Fakemote on Wii (Full Setup Guide 2026)

Video Description

Hey everyone! In my last video I showed you all the different controllers you can use on the Nintendo Wii. In this video we’re taking a deeper look at one of the cooler applications that makes that possible — Fakemote. Fakemote allows you to emulate a Wii Remote using other controllers, meaning you can play your Wii games with controllers like PlayStation, Xbox, or other supported USB/Bluetooth devices. In this guide I’ll walk you through how to install Fakemote and show several real examples of it working with different controller setups.
