GitHub - remogatto/ffi-wiiuse: wiiuse ruby binding using FFI

ffi-wiiuse is a ruby wrapper around wiiuse, a C library that handles

ruby FFI so it doesn’t need any compilation step. Please, note that

ruby inside!

Very cool. I’ve been using wiiusej with JRuby and liking it.

Big upside to wiiusej for me is monster ease of making Wii GUI apps
using JRuby + Monkeybars. :slight_smile:

But I will definitely look at this.

Thanks,

James B.
