You know it's crazy I actually was able to still download your software even today in 2022 I remember watching your videos as a kid and Wishing I could do this with my rovio or robo sapien V-2 or V-1 I just need to find a perfectUSB IR blaster

your voice changed wow its so cool i love wowwee robotics and you make it even cooler

[@LiebsterFeind]

Just a supported web browser. For setup, Windows PC's do have a USB based setup that uses a Windows software program, but that's just a convenience. Mac's can connect directly to the Rovio as a standard WiFi network device and configure it that way. A little extra work, but it's not bad at all.

Hello Nesar. Congratulations, that's not too far away. I look forward to hearing from you on your Rovio.

[@LiebsterFeind]

Yes you do need a wireless connection. The WowWee Rovio is an 802.11 network device and needs to link up with a Wireless Access Point, tied to your home network router or broadband modem. I'm not sure about the Nintendo DS or the XBox 360. They would need to be able to run a standard web browser for remote access. Even if they can, I'd ask a friend with a Rovio to let you test drive before spending any money.
