I'm looking for a small gamepad that connects via bluetooth or usb cable to the Galaxy S for the purpose of playing NES/SNES/Genesis roms. Does anyone know if something like this exists?
Any WiiMote should work.

You here to make the biggest announcement since this phone came out?
Last I checked Wiimotes weren't working due to the change in the Bluetooth stack...
Wiimotes SHOULD work once CM6 comes out, but until then I'm not sure. maybe a PS3 controller? but that's a bit complex and not pocketable haha
I can't tell you when Ryan Frawley is going to release a 3.0 wiimote (or if our vibrants will somehow become able to use the old version) but I can say that in the meantime I have an idea as to how to construct something to tie them together like a PSP.
I have seen others using GPS holders and stuff to the same effect, this just seems like it would be a little less akward to use, so long as you can get your phone released in time to answer a call (or just use a bluetooth, heh).
Attached is a picture of the idea I had, anyone that wants to make it happen is free to. No patents or anything here.
Wiimote does not work on the Vibrant. Works wonderful on the N1.

Why do you think wiimotes will start working with CM6. The hardware in this phone is different than every other Android phone on the planet. This is Bluetooth 3.0. Is CM6 going to downgrade it to 2.1?
According to this post the Zeemote works with the psx emulator. I don't knowif it will work with the nes/snes ones or not. I don't know how well it works as a remote either, just remember reading about this the other day when I saw your post an thought I'd share.

ziimote should work.
otherwise im waiting for CM6 to come out, then im planning on making a slimmer/lighter wiimote.
Based on the view count of this thread, someone could make a lot of Benjamins if they patented, designed, and produced a pint-sized gampad with bluetooth that would work with the Galaxy S. I wish I had the money or I'd do it myself because whoever does could make some hefty cabbage. I know I'd be first in line to buy one...I can't stand the on-screen controls for the emulators, but they are better than nothing at all of course.
Now this is worth a look. Anyone try it out on the Galaxy S?

What about mounting it like this guy did:
Well, since I'm a new user, it won't let me post the URL or picture, but I want to give credit where credit is due.... it's over at PPCgeeks forum. Thread number 129886. or search for "DIY - Custom Evo Gaming Mount! (**Wiimote**/SNES/NES/etc.)"

ROFL that's an awesome idea! Great find! I will definately have to try that, its much cheaper and easier since there are hundreds of those plastic wheels running around.
Its not a hardware problem, its software. Samsung put proprietary bluetooth stack in their version of android they loaded on the galaxy s phones. Its imcompatible, it doesnt support the bluetooth mode that the gamepads need to operate properly. thats why using a vanilla rom, or a rom that utilizes the stock google bluetooth stack (like CM6) works fine.
derek how do we know that? did you take touchwiz off your phone?
i think its a little deeper than that... we can ask eugene tho... he is building a 2.1 stock rom on his phone... we could ask him to try to hook up a wiimote

But I have no idea if the MSI bluetooth works with Galaxy S bluetooth stack, or if ANY gamepad does.

I'd donate a few bucks as well if I could get my wiimote working on my vibrant. It's not about the lack of physical keyboard either, as I hated using the keyboard on my g1 to play emulators. You don't get the same feel nor same fun factor on anything but a controller made for gaming.

It looks like the HTC Legend has the same processor as the HTC Aria and they are working on a port for that according to the ps groove device compatibility list. Anyone know if the Legend port would work for the Aria also?

There is a psgroove proof of concept Psp port out there. They are ironing out some kinks. Once done you can use your cfw Psp as your ps3 jailbreak

sure install it via psp, iphone, usb, but come on, the ultimate would be to hack the ps3 from your android aria.. that would be wicked!!!
btw op. the link you posted goes nowhere. "That page doesn't exist!"
We will see an Aria port LONG before a PSP port. Don't get me wrong, I would love a PSP port!

Been having problems with the n64oid on the slide cyanogen 7. When I go to start the game it force closes. Any soulutions. I know it works cause I have crash for psx on mine and it runs clean I just don't know how to get it too. Thanks

From what I know, N64oid isn't supposed to be running on the mytouch slide, atleast not at this time. Yes you can run PSX, but PSX is not an N64.
* A quite number of games run smoothly at a reasonable speed with sound. This requires you have a high-end device (Nexus-S, Nexus-One, Samsung Galaxy, etc).

That was taken directly from the description of the app on the market. Seeing as you are not allowed to see it from the market on your slide let alone download it from the market I wouldn't doubt it to not work.
It's like Flash 10.1, you can install it by finding the app somewhere but will it work? No.
N64oid runs excellent on my Nook, but will not work on my Slide no matter what I try.

I don't see why not. The slide has the same GPU found in the Nexus One, Evo, Incredible. Pretty much any 1st gen snapdragon phone. Just the cpu isn't as strong but when OC to 825 mhz+ it runs just as smooth.
I kno i hope it works out

Just to clarify here, this is what another guy found out in another thread....

so, even tho we have the same gpu as the nexus one is like a few posts back a guy said... just like flash 10.1 it requires and armv7 core wich we unfortunately dont have :/
hopefully future updates will be compatible with armv6
Hello Everyone,
I purchased the N64oid Emulator and thought I would let any forum members that it works well on my Xoom. I even am able to play Super Mario 64 on my Droid 1 without problems. This emulator does cost money and so many of you might hesitate to purchase but I just wanted to let you know it works well on the Xoom and so far Super Mario 64, Starfox and Zelda are running great and I think it was well worth the money.
I made a video if you want to see it in action. Why pay if its not for you so check out my video and feel free to ask me if certain roms work or if you want me to make a particular video to see how certain roms play on the Xoom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtdQXIcH6gY
Mario 64 runs great on the Xoom but Ocarina ran pretty slow, though I only tried it on the first version, they've updated the application a lot since then... well worth the money.
OoT always seems to freeze for me on pressing start, any ideas why?
Im on the latest version of N64oid, using my Xoom.

How does the wii remote connect to the xoom?
Mario Kart works really well also.

I use a free app called WiimoteController. Works well on the Xoom. There is a couple hitches getting it to work and I am putting together a video on showing exactly how to set it up and get it working with an emulator. Will be posting it in a bit.

I like using the Wii Classic Controller Pro with my emulators on my Xoom. It's got the combination and feel of all the classic gaming consoles built into one controller. Since it was originally meant for the Nintendo Virtual Console on the Wii, it is great to use with the N64 games as it was a part of the VC lineup. I personally have been using this method on my Androids for well over a year now, but it's great to remind others who had no idea this existed in this first place. Good job man.
I just sold my wii and all controllers argh! would love to use it with some n64 games
Dont forget GoldenEye
It still gets the " hey can you get that for iPhone?" Followed shortly by a disappointed "awww"

Weird, it's the opposite for me, OoT works perfectly, Majora freezes after I push Start the first time.

Good and Bad news. The app to connect the WiiMotes to your android device supports multiple Wii Motes / Wii Classic . However the N64oid does not support multiplayer yet, well it might never, but I'm been pretty happy with what the all the apps the creator of N64oid, he even frequents this forum, so perhaps he will give us an answer if it will make its way to his N64oid app.

Any major video game vendor should sell this. Here is a link to give you an idea what it looks like.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nintend...988885&skuId=9853244&st=wii classic&cp=1&lp=7
Please note however that you still need the original Wiimote to be able to hook it to your Android device through bluetooth.
Thanks

A guy in this thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/vs2yt/nexus_7_official_google_response_no_mhl_yes_usb/) got me wondering ...
Does the Nexus 7 have a bluetooth stack that supports emulator gaming via wiimotes and game comtrollers?
I was already a but disappointed about no MHL ability. If it doesn't have a bluetooth stack that supports wiimotes/game controllers for emulators then that's the final straw...

Guess I asked this question in the wrong section, anyone out there have ideas on this and if the Nexus 7 has the proper bluetooth stack to use wiimotes? (for gaming emulators)
I don't see any reason why not, my Dell Streak 7 had the ability to do it with the app from the market.
Yes, it's not HTC Sense
WAIT! What?
I must be really late here, but are you telling me that Wii-motes are bluetooth supported and can link up to certain android devices?

Sense 4.0 fixed this btw I can natively use my Wiimote on my 4G LTE.
To OP: there's no reason to think otherwise. Other than previous HTC devices, most (if not all) bluetooth stacks have supported it.
If you are playing a rom that is multiplayer can you use 2 ps3 controllers or wii remotes to play multiplayer on the same Nexus?
