If I root my Samsung Galaxy S, can I use the Android app wiimote controller?

For some reason this free app on the Android Market doesn't work with samsung phones. I willing to accept a seperate way to do so but my main goal is to use a wiimote to play emulators on my phone.

The App itself: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid&feature=search_result

Also if you have advice for rooting, leave tips and helpful advice. Thanks!
