Pointing a wiimote at screen... Without pointing?

[.GC64.]

Ok, so I'm new here and to start it off I've got a very important question (to me at least lol):

Suppose you were to build a wii handheld, not laptop, handheld. Say you had a joystick that acted as the hand on the screen, rather than move the wiimote around at the screen. Is there any possible way to do this? I know you can do it with the classic controller, but certain games like mario galaxy cannot use it. Is there any sort of mod that you can do to make the original wii remote do that?

Thanks!

You could have something translate joystick data to IR data, but I don't believe anyone has bothered to do this.

Ok, how can I do this? Code?

code + hardware + good luck

I think at someone at modretro was trying to do this with a touchscreen at some point

Sounds hard to play with though, but good for menus and games not needing wii cursor.
