Hi.
I'm looking for gamepad for playing with my Pocket PC.I try to use the hidgamep.dll but untill now it is not successful....
There is the gamepad for chainpus but seems my pocket Pc not work with it.I would like to use the PS3 sixaxis or dualchok 3.But there is probléme with them if yuo open your bluetooht and try to find this gamepad device you won't find them.I read and search on interent and found some handle.I use ubuntu ans sixpaire for change adresse (adresse of my pocket pc's bluetooth) where the bluetooth gamepad must pair and try to pair.But the trouble is the same no sony's gamepad seen...After thinking may be it is the bluetooth stack (I think mine is Microsoft) wich is weak there is may be some lake in the stack/driver...(because under ubuntu or windows you must setup/update the usb and the bluetooth drivers.So can any one help me in this project writting a driver for the sixaxis/dualshok 3 bluetooth gamepad?
I install the widcomm bluetooth stack but when I try to start the bluetooth " I get message there is not enought memory for start bluetooth"
I'm less than a beginner in program devellopement.
I think it would be great to play with this gamepad with the emulator (Gameboy advance, psone,Snes or famicom ect..)
Thank.
Me Too
It's a very good idea , i'm looking for this too and no response !!!
That will verry good to play with mY HTC HD2 with a gamepad playstation 3 en Fpsece !!!!!
No Genius Xda Developers to this ?????

When pairing a new Dualshock3 with the PS3, you should recall that you must connect it via USB the first time in order for it to pair from that point on. If you try to use said controller on a different PS3, you have to connect the controller via USB once again in order to initiate pairing with the new machine, erasing the controller's tie with the original PS3. Even the PS3 does not just see it out there and connect. If this were to ever work, you would more than likely need to develop an application that allowed you to connect the controller to you phone via usb for the initial setup.
That in itself has its own problems. There are usb host drivers for certain devices, however I highly doubt it would recognize a Dualshock3 out of the box. So most likely you would need:
Modified USB host drivers
A Program to handle the USB setup of the controller itself
Probably a proprietary Bluetooth profile
Now i'm no expert on PS3 inner workings so I cant say for sure what profile you would need or if it wouldnt work with an existing supported profile. Before you cross that bridge however, I would think you'd need to at least setup the pairing through USB which is its own challenge.
Can anyone else provide more input/revise my answer?
I'm sure that plugging the PS3 remote into a PC could yield some information about how they connect it to the PS3.. an ID or something that gets changed every time maybe? I doubt you could just grab the PS3 remote, plug it in and go from there, but there has to be some kind of ID that you can associate with the controller and call from your phone to connect to it.
The sixaxis stores the address of its master and will only communicate through Bluetooth with its master.
I wrote a program (finished last Friday night) to change the master address of the sixaxis to whatever I want from a Windows PC, in this case my phone's bluetooth mac address, so now the sixaxis sees my phone as its master and is ready to communicate with it.
But that was the easy part. (Actually it wasn't easy at all, and very time consuming, but easy in comparison to the remaining tasks). Now I need to write a program that will run on the phone and read the connection attempts (and all other data) from the sixaxis and respond in a manner that the sixaxis will understand.
Anyone know of a good Bluetooth Packet Sniffer that runs on Windows Mobile?
best of luck with this Cobaltikus.... would love to see this happen!

Hi all,
I received a little HTC catalog for accessories when i unpacked my touch 3g phone and in the catalog, i could see an RC R100 wired remove control for allowing users to play/pause/play next via extra buttons on the remote control kit.
Anyone here tried it and can confirm if it works ?
Does it require extra drivers to be installed?
thanks,
hi. i have connect my blackstone with a usb to the printer but is not working. what i have to do?
to connect to usb devices require 2
things
1. the pda have to support usbHost pretty sure that blackstone don't
2. all the correct windows mobile drivers for the printer very very few printer makers make windows mobile drivers at all
Ok, not what you've asked for but there are some solutions for printing from Windows Mobile devices, mostly these are not free, and as having no need to print I have not tested these:
Westtek Jetprint $9.95
http://www.westtek.com/pocketpc/jetcet/
Bachmann Software Printboy $49.99
http://www.bachmannsoftware.com/pbce.htm
PrintPocketCE $39.95 ("Prints in Color" lol)
http://www.fieldsoftware.com/PrintPocketCE.htm
Cortado Print & Fax (Ca$h per month I think)

Most of these seem to have been designed for versions of WM prior to WM5, so actually I think that means PPC2003 !?!
Also keep an eye out for these guys, http://printershare.com/mobile.sdf they have iphone & Android versions (bit of a bandwagon jumping on there I think!), would assume WM version wouldn't be too far behind?
I thought our Touch HD comes with "Jetcet Print 5"
With that software you can print via WiFi or bluetooth.
What you need is a pure network printer or a PC which shares the printer you want to use.
Works like a charm on my Touch HD

I have connected my Wii remote to my PC in the past, and it works quite well. You have to skip the part where you pair the devices (enter pass keys etc).
With all of the emulators available for HD2 (inc. the awesome PSX emulator) I thought it would be good if I could connect up my Wii remote to my HD2. The touchscreen input is just too laggy and cumbersome for playing certain games.
The trouble I am having is that the HD2 and WM6.5 won't let me enter a blank passkey (or skip the pairing process). I know the remote works well on other phones - perhaps there is a registry tweak to allow blank passwords in wm6.5?
yeah !
great idear ! but i've seen another post of this on xda forom
There has been some discussion in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335973 to get it working in windows mobile, but unfortunately with the HD2 I can't even get to the point where it is paired as the HD2 (unlike previous models) requires a passkey for pairing - there doesn't seem to be a way to lave it blank and continue.
I thought that there may be a way to change this functionality via the registry?
So I was looking at Engadget today when I stumbled across this article. It says that someone got the N900 to play emulators with a PS3 Sixaxis controller. I have no idea about coding, I'm not a programmer. I do know that there are a bunch of talented people here at XDA and was wondering if someone would be willing to take up the challenge.
I know Android is capable of using Bluetooth in ways that weren't intended for phones (eg. The bluetooth keyboard hack), so I'm optimistic. I have a Saphire 32B, but I'm hoping this could be applied to all android phones that don't have physical keyboards. What say you XDA? Are you willing, and is it possible?
Bump. Just saw this too.
It certainly should be possible with Android.
Here is some more info on how they got it to work on the N900, involves some linux apps to pair the controller.
Maybe we can work together to crack this nut? Maybe move this topic into the more general Android Software Development thread.
Possible use cases:
1- Turn your Android into a PS3 controller (switch on PS3, menu navigation or even keyboard input)
2- Use a Bluetooth controller/keyboard on the Android (like with N900)

What I'm hoping will come out of this is number 2, as I don't own a console. As I said I'm not a coder, so this is way above my head. And it doesn't have to be a PS3 controller either. A Wii or a 360 controller would be fine, too. I just want to be able to play my NES games on my phone. (No multitouch really sucks).
still hoping and wishing for a Windows Mobile port...
Or an android port to the Touch Pro2 that has Bluetooth and Sound...

Why did you buy the Android phone then, if you're into WinMo
If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.

You misunderstood.
I didn't buy an Android phone.
There is a port of Android that runs on the Touch Pro2 but it does not have Bluetooth or TV Out. So I either need a way to connect a sixaxis to WinMo or a new port of Android for TP2 that supports TV Out and Bluetooth.
hard part is over
the sixaxis connects and sends data
now I just need to map out what to do when each button is pressed
currently works on windows mobile devices with a widcomm bt stack
I plan to make it work for the M$ stack as well but I'll have to borrow a phone with it from work cuz I don't have one any more
working on Touch Pro2 and HTC HD2 at the moment
I was so frickin happy when I finally got it to connect and send data
Nice to see progress on this. If this was on another forum it would see more activity.
Would be awesome. Especially on the mytouch. its only a matter of time

Any progress on the android Sixaxis/duelshock 3 app ??
I'm working on an Android/PS3 controller app. I have a method of changing the Bluetooth master address on the controller, but I haven't yet been able to get Android to see it. If I just knew what the controller was sending when you hit the PS3 button, I might be able to make Android listen for that.

Once the master address is set to your phone, pressing the PS button will cause the controller to send connection requests to your phone. Listen for devices, no authentication, with hid guid on psm 17 accept the connection request, then psm 19, accept that request, then write .... something can't remember... I have to go back to my code... to set the LEDs so they stop flashing and another code to tell the controller to start sending data. Once u r successful the controller constatntly sends packets of 50 bytes continuously describing the state of the controller, tilt, which buttons are down, up, etc so you just need to check for changes react accordingly. I'm handling verything on the L2CAP layer in WinMo. sending keydown and keyup events....
