Anyone know if it is possible to use the Nintendo wii remote with the HD2 as a bluetooth gamepad for emulators?
I've managed to get it to sync up to the PC in the past and I'm pretty sure people use them successfully with the Dolphin emulator. Of course I'm not looking for full motion control wii sports or anything similar. I'd just like to play NES games on my phone with a proper controller.
This is the only purpose made bluetooth controller I've found, but I think I'd rather just have a Wiimote in the glove compartment http://computers.beboxx.com/coen/msi-bgp100-gamepad.html
What do you guys think?

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.

Definitely a great idea. Just needs somebody to write the driver hookups.

For my Ipaq I had a Zeta game controller. Does something like that exist for the Universal?
I'd like to be able to play games with a more useful controller than with the keyboard.
How long before someone writes a Wiimote driver?
You just need something which uses a Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) profile, really. I've played Scumm games (with ScummVM) using my SonyEricsson W550i as a controller. The W810i I've got now isn't so good for that as it doesn't have buttons at the top of the screen so you can't hold it sideways like a 'classic' paddle controller.
Yes, I was afraid of something like that. Bluetooth controllers cost a fortune, but I guess it's the only option.
Thanks
PS3
The PS3 controllers are bluetooth, I havent tried to connect them to my universal or computer though, anyone tried?
I found a reasonably cheap (20euro) BT game controller on Handit.de. It's the BGP Bluetooth GamePad.
Installation was a bit problematic at first. The HTC universal is not listed as a compatible device so I choose to install to T-Mobile Compact and that worked fine. Now it's just a matter to switch on the controller. Activate the driver on the PDA and it takes over the buttons that you programmed in (or the default set). Works pretty cool
It comes with 2 full games and some trials.
Hey, everyone,
We all know that it's been possible to use your DualShock 3 w/ rumble and motion support for some time now. But, I was wondering...what about for Windows Mobile? Are there any SIXAXIS/DualShock 3 drivers in the works. If not, anyone listenin', bluetooth and possibly miniUSB support is all that we need.
Second this... the BGP100 is a far cry from the PS3 controllers in terms of usability! Anyone care to have a crack at this?
Wii remote.....
Hey all,
A Chap manged to give us a way to use Wii remotes on S60 - V3 and V5 works perfectly......
I think the wii remotes are hell of a lot cheaper (less buttons)
Even though I have 2 Dual shocks....would rather see Wii remote!!
i would love to see some SIXAXIS Driver too.
That would be awesome!
I love this idea to play psx games on my htc leo .someone can add the sixasis drivers?

Wii remote would be awesome as many projects for pc exist and they shouldn't be to hard to port to PPC for some of the members we have here check out what is going on in these links :

Let's hope someone get's inspired
thanks guy but i prefer psx controller for play many games because this controller have some buttons. There is a project in developpement ?
yeah.. FPSeCE and DS3 plus HD2 would be a killer!!
FPSECE with HTC HD and Siaxis will be perfect !!!!
Help Genius Developers Help them !!!!
holy crap this would be HAWT
You aren't kidding! It doesn't seem as though it would be very difficult, either...
but it would be awesome, so much talent dev it pretty sure that many of them can do it...
great idea

true but the PS3 ALREADY is BT... someone just needs to port the drivers to PPC...
EDIT: additionally, after watching the video... the PS3 controller has a rechargeable battery (along with its crazy battery life), and all the buttons you would/will need for things like the PS1/2 emulator, GB/GBC/GBA/N64 emulators... (along with start/select), considering the BGP only has the Start button, no Select button, and only an R1 and L1 which is missing R2/L2...
I want drivers for sixaxis/ds3 too :0
. . bump . .
I got $5 to whoever develops a driver (and while a single person wont make a difference, im sure if everyone who wants to see support for the PS3 BT controller im sure it will add up)
::bump::
Yeah, we REALLY need this, 'cause those Android chumps've got the Wii Remote workin' on their OS. DualShock 3 drivers'd blow their egos back to the stone age.
would pay for that ...
Would it be possible to use a bluetooth gamepad to play emulators on the Streak? I'm thinking that playing something like Mario or Sonic on an emu would be a great time passer via the TV-Out dock when I'm stuck in a hotel room...
While I don't have a Streak I do know that an app called Wiimote Controller is on the market. It should work just fine to let you use a wiimote through bluetooth...

You probably know that people have successfully paired both a keyboard and mouse (though the mouse did not have much use!) so I expect that it's possible to pair a gamepad. Whether it will work or not... who knows! I would like to know the answer though! That'd make the docking station rather more attractive!
Look like it is possible

Does anyone have any experiance using the Mame4Droid app? I would like to use a BT controller rather than the on-screen controls (pounding on the screen to play Track & Field isn't fun), does anyone have suggestions? I've seen where a Wii controller can be used with a separate app, but i'm thinking that a Sixaxis PS3 controller would be better....any input would be appreciated!

I've been using the ps3 controller with the sixaxis app in usb mode fine, but can't seem to pair it via bluetooth. Also read somewhere that this gamestop controller works great with our nexus 7, so I'll prob give that a try:

You have to be rooted before the SixAxis app to install the required BT Pairing drivers.
The SixAxis App itself offers a bonus in itself by offering button-to-screen button mappings. This allows for controller use in games otherwise unplayable with a controller. Specifically for this thread, MAME4DROID, probably wouldn't matter since all Emulators have button mapping.
I haven't tried the Gamestop controller, but I have wasted lots of money on alternative gamepad solutions that ultimately just sucks. Quality in a device is essential for old school gaming. When I press Up, I don't want to go Up-Right. When I press Jump, I want to jump immediately. The Gamestop Controller seems nice but I would always be cautious. The reviews say that the controller feels light, cheap, and the button presses lag.
The PS3/SixAxis App is your best solution for gaming. The Gamestop controller might be 2nd or 3rd compared to the OnLive Controller.

I just brought a Red Samurai bluetooth wireless controller from Game Stop. I believe it is their brand. It seems to be working great for mame4droid. My phone is the Lg Optimis VU gsm unlocked. Verizon has the same phone. It is called the Lg Intuition. I'm running 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich. I tried it on two games 1942 Capcom and The Raiden Project by Seibu Kaihatsu. Both games work flawlessly. My phone has not been rooted. Just pair with phone and map the keys. Enjoy

Galaga with a ps3 controller is fun lol. Sixaxis will prettyy much take care of all your android external controller needs.

I controlpad is never a bad choice for bluetooth controller.

PS3 ones require a supported adapter, as well as wii motes, most made for android tablets require drivers that microsoft can't find.
Has anyone been successful in finding a bluetooth game controller that works with any adapter and has drivers readily available.
Works with what device?
I am yet to find a bluetooth radio which will not pair with a wiimote or PS3 controller.
If you're talking about windows 8 rather than RT, you shouldn't have any problems using a regular bluetooth gamepad. IIRC a wiimote doesn't function as a regular gamepad as such, but you can use other software like Girder to make it work that way. If compatibility with games that expect to see an Xbox 360 controller is your problem, search for "x360ce vibmod", that works great for me with my generic bluetooth gamepad.
