wii VC control problem

[nat]

I've been playing VC games with my Wii remote.

For some reason sometimes the software will treat the remote as if all buttons (including the D-pad) have turbo switches set to maximum. This causes unwanted effects such as in platformers your character "slides" across the screen instead of walk. In shooters, holding down the fire button causes you to fire rapidly rather than build up a charge (such as in R-Type).

I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. There are no settings for this on the Wii side. This behavior seems to start and cease of it's own free will, sometimes even in the middle of a game.

What is going on? Is there some kind of flaw with the emulation?

FWIW, I've noticed this happening most with Genesis VC games.

I have 3 Wii remotes and have tried them all. They all do the same thing, so the problem is not the controller. They all have full batteries.

I only seem to have started noticing this since the latest Wii OS update (released a few days ago). It's possible it was happening before that and I just didn't notice.

Looks like that update may have screw attacked the emulation. I was going to suggest batteries until I further read the post.

Ten bucks at least two more people respond and at least one of them tells me to try new batteries or a different controller.

[Turbo D]

haha, seriously. I don't want to lose money on that bet

Try another remote and/or new batteries.  One down and one to go. 

Is it pulling this shit with a classic controller or a 'cube controller?

[nat]

Neither. I'm using the regular Wii remotes (tried all 3).

I don't have a Classic controller (and I don't intend to buy one). I suppose I could try one of my GameCube controllers, but since the Wii is wireless and because I'm strapped for space with all my consoles, the Wii is in a spot far away from my couch where a GameCube controller cord isn't long enough to reach. I'd literally have to stand up in the middle of the room to play a game with the GC controller.

i would try using the GC controllers and see if the effect persists. (use wired ones if you have 'em, in case the cause is RF interference.)

failing that, try using a different wiimote or change your batteries.  :-"

You're treading dangerous water, my friend.

I ran into a similar problem, then realized it was me hitting the "B" trigger button with my left hand.  I've stopped using the Wiimote altogether now, and instead am using the Classic controller.  Haven't seen it happen to any other buttons though, that's kinda weird.  Sounds like a Nintendo support question.

If you are serious about VC, just spend the extra cash and get the classic controller since it will control everything VC offers now, and in the future.  the only thing I don't like about it is the height of the analog stick buttons but meh.

I buckled and bought one an hour or two ago. I'll get back to everyone on whether or not I have the same problems.

That would be funny if it ends up working because Nintendo forces people to buy all of their products.

Well then I am going to assume you are laughing right now, because the classic controller does work perfectly. I played three hours of VC games yesterday and another three hours today and none of that funky shit.

Although, I think it is extremely f*cked up that the Wii-mote has these issues with VC games. I'm wondering if this was deliberate on Nintendo's part. I actually like playing VC games with the Wii-mote because it's shape and layout is ever so slightly reminiscent of the classic NES controller. But the problems I was having... that just doesn't fly with me.

HAHAHAHA!
