ButtonCas' is a tool that allows your Wii to act as a controller hub. It connects to various applications, such as those on PC, Android, iOS, or even another Wii, via TCP and tunnels button presses from all devices to the chosen application for handling.
This means you can use all your Gamecube controllers, Wiimotes, Nunchuks, guitars, dance mats, etc. on any ButtonCast-enabled application without the need to purchase physical adapters. With this application, it's even possible to have 8-player multiplayer matches as it can transfer full sets of Wiimote and Gamecube controller input data.
A sample code on how to add ButtonCast input support to your own applications is provided in the download package, along with the hub application for the Wii.
