[WiiFlash] IR's with the latest server/ api

[John Grden]

yeah I actually thought I saw in a video that Nintendo uses 5 on each end (
3 in the middle are close togheter, 2 on each end that are slightly apart)

Thanks chad!  I just popped off the end of an extra USB cable I have lying
around and have stripped the cable.  I actually do have 4 of the Radio Shack
high output LED's and I'm going to give that a go here in a minute... son as
I can find a small toy with some wire ;)

Poor kids, I think this is how I lost most of my toys as a kid.  Dad and his
experiments ;)
