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.

Video here. Man this thread is kinda old.
hi guys,
I don't know if you're familiar but for some time there are some options available to jailbreak your PS3.
The smart guys of the world managed to do so via an USB Dongle and as well via N900 and it seems PalmPre.
Would this be possible via Android/HD2? I suppose it should..
Below are some links so that you devs can have a look at it:

http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65355
Update: it seems someone is working on an Android version: http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65246
there's a version for Nokia N900.. hope a port for Android is coming up next
great http://www.ps3news.com/PS3-Hacks/ps-jailbreak-tiny-clone-android-psgroove-port-in-development/
it's absolutely incredible what the devs and technology can do today. wish I knew all that much to do it myself!
this would end up being a app not a build , better in general section ....or better yet in the android general where all those developers are

Yeah, perhaps. I only wanted to know if it would be ported to Android if we could have it on our HD2
i found this link to screens of the guy who says he is working on an android version.

I really want to help program, I am on the github and reviewing the code and seeing if ill be able to convert it myself. i have some free time so ill fool with it.
omg thats so amazing! after this all done all i need is the ps3 lol

and why do you say it won't work on the HD2?
i have read that android must be on the root of the phone. so hd2 has no android root. i'm a noob so if i say it wrong than someone correct me.

Let's just hope the smart devs will get this on our beloved HD2s. I have complete faith in them! Just look around and you'll see impossible is nothing!
But I read in a website there that people were getting banned, so it kinda beats the purpose if you want to play online games. You would only be able to play story mode games with your internet disconnected.

Actually no.. These things aren't actual illegal..
I remember some lawsuit from apple which they lost on this firmware modding.
All this PSFreedom thing does is load the PS3 into debug mode.
Don't really see what's illegal about that..

exactly. I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation of all the homebrew that'll be available. Proper mkv playback, better PS1/2 emulation than the original fat PS3's "hardware" PS2 emu capabilities, snes emulation, better browser (firefox?)... once it's opened up to run anything, the possibilities are endless
oooh yeaah.. 1080p mkv in PS3 willbe juuust right.. I hope someone will port xbmc to ps3..
sony released a new up date that has closed the door so dont update guys
Hi all
Due to being confused i have posted the same thread in Desire Genereal, Desire Q&A, General, WebOS Hacking&General and WebOS Development.
Please delete the wrong ones.
I was just wandering would it be possible and if there is any brave soul to port Web OS to desire. I have read a bit and would like to try this OS myself. Not rich enough to owe 3 mobiles though :/.
Just let me know if I'm asking/wanting impossible or it is doable and someone may take it on board.
thnx in advance for all replies
Regards
Kirior
I think it should be possible to do it, due to the fact that it also runs on a linux kernel, maybe with somemods on haret it might work... only problem, does anyone have a dumped rom?
It would be a enormous amount of work to do honestly because all current versions of WebOS were designed with a gesture pad and Android phones do not have these. You'd have to figure out how to map all the gesture functions to hardware keys. You'd also have to figure out how to get a virtual keyboard working on the OS right away as the OS was only designed for use with a hardware keyboard.
For the keyboard, I would think that you would try to install the virtual keyboard via PC. That would require hacking to force detect the desire as a pre in webOS quick install or something
Then that still requires the mapping of gestures into hardware buttons
Don't question me about this, I'm not so knowledgable about modding software
It would be no easy task, but to say that the only things standing in the way of this working would be a virtual keyboard and remapping buttons isn't correct at all. In the kernel there are many a way to remap keys, not sure about the gesture pad, but it could work, and the virtual keyboard is just a patch so you could bake it into the rom itself. The whole issue, why noone has even tried is that it isn't legal.
It's all low resolution as well so your stuffed until the pre 3 is out.
As far as I know right now there are no sources for this until the launch of the Pre 3, it would be interesting to see though.
It could be done with some sweat and tears, but just like when it was being ported to the htc hero, webos will not allow it to be copyright

That would be awesome. If it ports to the Desire then its just a matter of some time before it gets ported to the Mytouch 4G/Glacier. Sweet.

Didn't HP let go and let other developers use web OS as well? If so then they can release the hero version and I can try it

It's not the same. I have a Desire Z and a Pre. The optical trackpad and the gesture are significantly different.

Never used a pre, how is it different? EDIT NVM, watched a youtube video!!!
Read the beolw if you want, but for a start here is an interesting link for you:
http://pocketnow.com/software-1/no-palm-pre-go-pro-gesture-launch-on-your-touch-pro
The desire has an optical trackpad as opposed to the desire Z / G2's touchpad. But after realizing the difference in gestures from the video, that difference is kinda mute.
In the old winmo days someone said it was impossible to have mutli-touch on a resistive screen, until a talented dev wrote an sdk for it. It "cheated" by holding one finger in place and moving the other but even recognizing multiple screen inputs was amazing.
I'm kinda lukewarm / "meh" on the idea, but it would be cool to try webos on my own device (desire) just like trying Android on my Vogue (shipped with winmo) was cool. In fact, that's the reason I now own an android device!!!!!!!!!

Is anybody working on this? I heard somewhere that there is a team here on xda making this happen, but is it true? I really would like to see this happen and I believe that I am not the only one!
I think the main problem we're facing now is that there are no 3.x kernel drivers available for most of the current devices. Once we have this, porting to a larger number of devices should be quite straight forward.
Its very simple and works great on my phone.
What you need,
A remote client like teamviewer
A laptop
A tv
Set up your remote c
Software so that you can view your phones screen via laptop, hook up laptop to your tv,
Pwn nubs on the bigscreen
Also works good for phones that are touchpad only becaue your hands arent in the way anymore
How do I set it up?
I see my desktop on my phone,how do I switch it around?
Look for droid vnc server on market, it shows the phones screen by default
Easiest way to set it up would be rtfm
What about refresh latency? I've seen Droid VNC but it didn't refresh fast enough...

BUT yeah, the display on MY pc of my phone's screen was tinted RED, and was really slow...like 1-3 second delay on everything....
there's gotta be a way to optimize this! I wanna play emulators on my TV from my phone goddamnit!
cool, gonna follow this thread. i guess you need a pretty f-ing good internet speed to get it to run good enough for fast games.

I just guessing here, but I would imagine that the HDMI out option is available just on the developers kit. During the demo of Desert Winds at E3. There was a port connection between the headphone jack and the usb port. I have to assume that port was placed on the dev. kit to allow for demo of the game during development on a bigger screen. The retail version of the phone probably does not have this port connection. If it did it would be a nice selling point.
HDMI out is in the service menu, but they removed the necessary hardware for the commercial release.
Hardware-wise it's not possible to enable anything because it's not there
eros78 is probably right, the service menu option is just a remnant from the dev kits.
i found app called rom porter in some thread
and i did manufacturer port with that of s4 stock rom no mods nothing will the port that i made will boot because i'm afraid if that bricked my phone
and dont know anything about porting or someother stuff
but is it safe to flash that rom if something goes wrong what can i do please
i want s4 camera basically all those features of s4 camera so is there any other way i can get that on my aosp rom
and as a base i have used our stock google aosp rom no mod nothing
I guess No. As it requires a different set of framework.
Off-topic: I hope people here don't eat you alive but sadly the most common answer to such threads on xda is: "What a loser, why buy Nexus..Go get a Samsung.. Huh"
s4 camera hardware is completely different than the nexus 4 camera hardware, how do you expect the s4 camera on a nexus 4?? and no, porting the s4 rom onto the n4 isnt as easy as an app, theres much more to it, especially from a completely different phone with completely different drivers/framework/hardware.

thanks for that can you say which other camera app has those kind of features i mean all that effects that sort of ui and feature like when you take a picture and if there is a moving object it remove that i dont know whats the name for that effect
Tough one bro. However you can get feature some what like the Drama shot but this "removing moving object".. I don't think so you can get it on any App.
