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.
Has anyone tested out if the xoom works with a wii mote for our emulators?

i used the wiimote software, worked fine
Thanks, I went out and got a sweet collectors edition tron remote to use with this
Works great, been using the classic controller and FPSx..

Wii remote and classic controller work fantastic, but what I really want is the ability to use a PS3 controller because it sucks having to lug around a wii remote just to use the sub-par classic controller.
I agree with the ps3 controller but I think its limited on the controllers side, just find one like that online that is bluetooth
from what I remember ps3 controllets can't be used cause of the way they pair. Wii with classic is the best so far.
This is cool, I didnt know you could use the wiimote. What works with the wiimote?
Thanks, this is new info to me.

I believe all the emu's do, though I've personally only used it for NES - sweet app though.
I ve know about it for a while but never decided to try it since it was for a phone and the controller is twice its size, but for a tablet I am OK with the idea
What emulator is good to run on the Xoom, I have one installed that a guy a verizon mentioned, but it only works if you store the data on at /sd so for now is unusable for me...
Which one's are you guys using that works well on the xoom?
I use Nesoid, Gensoid and SNesoid. WiimoteController for the WiiMote. ROM Gripper and Emulator ROMs to search for the games / ROMs.

Like he said above. I use Snesoid with wiicontroller. I had a folder called Roms and well put the roms there. I had a huge set of roms from way back when i moved all my snes games to my pc before I packed them up.
Thanks Guys!
I use snesoid and UAE4Droid (Amiga emulator) daily with a wiimote on my phone... can someone check whether UAE4Droid works on the Xoom? I'm about to pre-order the wifi only from PC World in UK.
I've got the Wii remote with a classic pro controller paired with the Xoom and Snesoid. I played Mortal Combat for hours last night. Runs perfectly.
I just wish I could use a more simple controller setup, but I can't seem to find any info about other bluetooth controllers that will work. Anyone have any recommendations?
how do you pair it to the xoom/phone?
does it knock off the pairing with the wii? I have wii remotes with the recharable battery pack so re-pairing means i have to find some proper batteries each time which can be a pain

You need to run Wiimote. There are pretty clear directions in the app. You basically tell it to start searching and then hold down the 1 and 2 key on the Wii controller to start it in pairing mode.
I'm sure you will have to re-pair it with the Wii afterwards.

How were you able to get the classic controller working? I have the wiimote set up and working. Plug in the classic controller and don't get any response from it. I'm using snesoid and wiimote controller 0.3 beta.
Thank you in advance for any help.

I've got the classic controller pro...I don't know if that matters. Also, I went into the settings for key mapping in Snesoid and mapped all of the buttons. They show up as letters on the mapping screen.
I want to hdmi out from my a500 to 42" and use my Lg o2x phone as the game controller to play gameloft games. Is this possible ? If not is there some controller app that I could pair with tablet and use that to control the games ?

you might be able to use hdmi out but i highly doubt that you could use a phone as a controller for gameloft games. the only thing i can think of is that you can buy Bluetooth controllers, but so far I've only gotten them to work on emulators (but that was with my droid x, now i have the xperia play and no longer need a Bluetooth controller )
Not from direct experience but something I thought was cool
I was experimenting with my new A500. I plugged in my usb mouse. Works great. Then I plugged in my usb floppy. What a contrast between my 32 gb pad with a 32 gb card. I couldn't even store one picture at full rez.
OK, now why I really butted in here. I got the HDMI adaptor in the mail today and found that it made my XPlane look great. Sound and graphics were great. The pad itself was the controller and the image was on both screens.
BUT
I tried a game that is portrait only and it doesn't scale for a widescreen TV. Unless I wanted to play laying down or turn the wall mounted TV on its side, there are issues with playing phone games on the big screen.
Maybe a little off topic, but maybe helpful.
On another note, I have used the google remote control app to control my Logitech Revue but it is a hardwired portrait, so it is not so great in landscape.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Some interesting info here. I was not aware of the portrait only issue.
Search on here or youtube. Somebody has a video using an android phone as a game controller playing shadowgun on a asus transformer
I just watched it. So it is possible, just need to find something with a d-pad that makes sense. The video I watched the on-screen control scheme looks nasty. I'm not sure if its possible to change that layout or not but I will look into it tonight.
Its prob just better getting a real game controller. Ps3 or hardwired xbox 360 remote since our a500s have full usb and honeycomb supports game controllers

I agree. Sad part is I have 2 wireless 360 controllers and no wired ones. Makes me feel bad that I have two dual core devices yet still have to use wired controller.

Are you saying you use your Xperia play as a controller for your tablet? How do you do that? I have Xperia play as well.
there is an app calles droidmote (server and client) and it is supposed to do that. control an android device with another. havent tried it yet, but if someone has money to buy it, please share your experience.
Just a little video on the HDMI functions of the galaxy note (as a kind of game console and entertainment system)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBsqMV4Pymc
Some small issues that I found:
-Battery can in-fact go down (while on charge)
-The phone seems to slow down a little bit (not unusable, but noticeably)
-HDMI connection sometimes cuts out for a few seconds every half hour or so (might be the TV though)
And finally does anybody know a good android compatible bluetooth game controller? THAT would make this set up complete!
-Cheers
I've used the iControlPad with the BluezIME app on a GalaxyTab 7". Works very well. There are also ways to use a PS3 wireless controller with Galaxy devices, and even wiimotes if you put the CyanogenMod ROM on your device.
ICS should open up the options in this area considerably.
I didn't buy a controller, I just use my PS3 one. One of the best controllers out there for emulator games! Nice video btw.

Thanks for the reply, but how is the range on the iControl Pad like? The Rii mini keyboard that i'm using states 30m but you're lucky if you can get 2m. After this it starts cutting out connections and prolonging key-presses with jerky movements etc.

Hey thanks!, a PS3 controller would be a good choice if they're not too expensive (I don't have a PS3..)

I use my PS3 controller with the 'SIXAXIS Controller' app for emulators. I use it with SNESOID and it works perfectly.

My PS3 recently died with the YLOD so I now have two spare PS3 pads, may aswel make use of one! The controllers are very well built, the battery on them lasts ages and the range is really good.

Glad to know the PS3 controller works, gonna have to purchase one now.
Yep, looks like i'll get a PS3 controller! Also, does anybody else have any problems with the HDMI cutting out? It's kind of strange...
Is it full HD output or just scaled to full HD?

Well my tv says "input 1080i 60hz" so i'm guessing it is. Hmm, But how does 1080i relate to 1080p?

that is bizzare as 1080i should be 30hz and 1080p should be 60hz.

Does it work with TouchWiz?
What is the cheapest gamepad for android devices?
I thought a PS3 controller would be great, so i bought one from ebay but i realized to late that the "ps3 controller" app only works with the controllers from sony, because otherwise there are pairing problems.
Yes PS3 controller is onlty for PS3... If you want to use an other controller, use the Phonejoy
No, as often said before, you can use a PS3 Controller for your Android devices (at least for the most)...
But in fact it must be a PS3 controller from sony.
Everything you have to do is to buy "sixaxis controller" from the market, pairing your controller once (with the computer and the showed local bluetooth_adress) and connect it to your device.

Still not sure on this, sorry but I can say it looks satisfactory
driver?
hey i've bought that keyboard to for my xperia s and the driver that came with it didnt work so i useb blueinput but i cant see the mouse ,what driver do you use?
Hi guys, can anyone help me with this. I have have bought the gadgets needed to turn the note into a gaming console, but i had to buy a generic Bluetooth keyboard because i couldnt find the one specified.
My problem is that the keyboard is fine and all, its paired and works well in the native environment. I can type, i have access to quick keys such as menu or home button and back. It even has a track pad which also works. My problem is when i use it as a gamepad in emulators. For the moment i'm using the app Super GNES from google play to run the SNES games. altho i have configured it to use specific keys in the Button Mapping, everytime i start a game, the keys ive configured didnt work. its like the bluetooth keyboard isnt even connected but its connected because when i use the trackpad i can see the mouse pointer. I was thinking of getting the sixaxis controller app, but, as it turns out i need to root the phone which i am not willing to do.
So is there soemthing i'm doing wrong?
Is there another app like the sixaxis controller that will work that does not need a rooted phone?
Thanks
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:
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838
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.
