Hi everyone,
I'm new ot the Miimote project, but i think it's a great idea, and is exactly what i have been looking for. I have built a flight simulator using an aircraft fuselage, see here - http://jetranger.webs.com
Currently I use two normal 24" screens in the front panel, but would like them to be touch screens for better use and sense of realism. I was planning to do something very similar as can be seen here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLkfx6QxLfg
I am running four screens in total off one computer, i am using a graphics card that supports two screens, with one of these screen outputs being used to run Matrox Tripple Head 2go to give me 4 screens. The two screens that are the panel (that i want to use as touch screens) are the 'Left' and 'Centre' screens of the Matrox Tripple Head 2Go box. My questions are these:

Can the Wiimote software be used over 2 screens running on one computer? (especially seeing as they are running off Matrox Tripple Head 2Go?)

Can I use two Wiimotes to run this system (ie one for each screen), as i am quite tight for space and may not be able to get both screens in the field of view of the Wiimote, without something being in the way.

I am planning to go out and buy the hardware tommorow
Thanks in advance, great work here guys,
Lucas

Yes Wiimote Smoothboard will do this, but you will need two Wiimotes 1 for each screen.
