Since the developers know what information is transmitted from a wii controller to the phone , do you think there would be any way to develop and app where we can use the evo as an actual controller for the wii system? I think it would just be another awesome thing our phone can do.
Obviously without the point and click action but would the accelerometer work?

If it were possible, it'd be very poor. I dont know how the wii mote works but the EVO doesn't even have a gyroscope.

According to logitec when I was setting up my Harmony remote they cannot control Wii b/c it uses bluetooth (not ir) to power on/off. But at that point, you would need an ir transmitter, correct? Does the Evo have an IR transmitter?

Wii = Bluetooth

You do not need an IR transmitter. The reason your harmony won't work is because it uses IR.
Would anyone know if this is atleast possible or not?

yes - but the Wii remote uses both. Bluetooth for button functions and IR for on screen placement, or at least that is what it looks like to me.
I know why the Harmony cannot turn the Wii on/off, but my questions was the Evo has the same limitation because it has no IR transmitter, you would need both to mirror a Wii remote.
Right but there are plenty of games, the classic Mario one, that don't use the sensor bar at all. Only the buttons and the shake of a controller.

I am still looking for this same type of app. I would also be great for Netflix on Wii since it would not use up wiimote AA batteries!!! And all the Netflix controls can be accessed by buttons only!
There is actually one on the market now, but I guess it doesnt work with sense based UI
Sent from my Synergized Evo 4g
so can we ?
I suppose it could be possible to create an app that communicates with the Wii and emulates a classic style controller. I am not aware of such an app existing however.
It is unlikely you will be using your phone as a traditional wii controller as it lacks things like a gyroscope and an IR camera (this is how the wiimote pointer works FYI, it has an IR camera in the end that is detecting the IR LEDs in the sensor bar).
Why you would want to use your phone as a wiimote is beyond me, since if you have a Wii you should also have a wiimote.....
Would be pretty sick

android to wiimote
Since android version 4.2+ is unable to connect to a wiimote because of a Bluetooth error, will android come out with a bug fix for the issue? Or is there an app that has found a way around it?
The Galaxy S5 has IR Remote. Can't we use that?

Could someone explain to me what I need to do to get one of these to work on my evo. Do I need to be rooted? I currently am through unrevoked.
Which controller is the best one to get?
A type of wireless Wii remote?
Thanks for any and all help.
Download "Wiimote Controller" from the Market and follow the instructions.

Does it work with the Sense UI on my evo? The developers website said it doesn't work on all sense devices
Thanks again.
Also, will one of those Wii retro controllers work on this?
You need CM6
The Evo in it's stock state doesn't support any of the Wiimote apps in the market. I tried several Roms that don't use sense, and none of them would pair the Wii remote. The reason is that it is not Sense alone that causes the problem. The problem is that HTC changes the bluetooth stack when they put sense on the phone. Removing sense doesn't fix the stack.
The only rom currently out for the Evo that fixes this is Cyanogen 6 mod. He actually re-programmed the bluetooth stack. He has a release candidate which I have been using for a while now. I was even using his nightly builds and it's a very solid and stable rom. I haven't used the PSX Emulator, but I have been using Snesoid, and I love it. I got a Wii remote, and a classic controller from best buy, $60 total, and it was so worth it. With the classic emulators like Snesoid, you can actually map the keys for 2 controllers. Meaning you and a buddy can play Super Mario Kart, one using the Wii Remote, and the other using the classic controller plugged into it.
The other great thing about the CM6 rom is that Cyanogen is working on getting the HDMI out to clone everything from the phone over the HDMI port. This means that you can sit on the couch with your Wii remote and the classic controller pro, and using psx4droid you can play all the classics on the big screen.
The downside is the CM6 rom disables 4G, FM radio, and has had some issues with facebook contacts. Once you get this rom on, it should be pretty easy from there.
Thanks a lot, Bradley.
A few more questions...
It sounds like if I want to use a retro controller I have to connect a regular wii controller first and then plug the retro into the regular? Or can I connect the retro by itself without a regular controller?
Does Cyanogen have a site or blog where he can be followed? I'd like to get that Rom once he gets 4G working... and the HDMI-out; that sounds awesome. (On that note, do you know if I can flash that CM6 rom having rooted with Unrevoked? Do you know where I could find a step-by-step guide to help install it? (I'm searching the forums right now.))
What format do these things need to be in?

Hi All,
I ordered a Datel Wii wireless retro controller from http://www.codejunkies.com/ and finally got it! Its decently made and if I can get the bugs worked out I would suggest it to others came to about 46 dollars with S&H.
Currently I have tested it out using both Wiimote Controller (by C.C.P.) and Wii Controller IME (by Ryan Frawkley). Both apps seem to sync with this model controller no problem and seem to hold the connection.
Below is a small comparison between the two (for all testing 1 was only installed at a given time)
Wiimote Controller (by C.C.P.)
- Syncs and holds the connection
- Need to have compatibility mode disabled in spare parts to work correctly in full screen mode
- Appears to be able to map both of the analog sticks and all other buttons on the controller
- Views the controller as a classic controller
- Update from Dev - pikipirs
WiimoteController supports what is known as PWM mode. This is not analog stick emulation as Nintendo64 expects, but is as close to it as possible. It works by quickly pressing and depressing emulated keys, something you would be doing for example if you played a racing game on a computer with directional keys and you wanted to turn the steering wheel just a little.
You can activate this mode by going to WiimoteController's Preferences->Advanced settings. You have control over each axis of all sticks (nunchuk's and both from the classic controller). If you want to for example activate PWM for the left classic controller stick, set "CC L-stick X-mode" and "CC L-stick Y-mode" to Analog.
A word of advice: analog sticks have dead spots at the neutral position and when in this position, WiimoteController will not emulate any keys, but it might if your classic controller's analog stick is too sensitive. If you touch the PWM-mode-enabled stick outside your emulators, you'll get a shower of letters, so try to avoid that. Also, when you are plugging your classic controller into the wiimote, don't touch any analog sticks on it because WiimoteController expects all sticks to be in the neutral position when it detects them.Side note from Jvward - I am a moron who after emailing both dev's I posted the response from pikipirs somehow got confused and posted in the section below, I have since updated it, Also special thanks to pikipirs for reading my post and keeping me on point
Wii Controller IME (by Ryan Frawkley)
- This controller is actually suggested as the only non Nintendo made controller by the dev.
- Some buttons don’t work (mainly both analog sticks are un-mappable)
- Because of the problems with both analogs I am unsure how this application views this controller (being as a wiimote or a wiimote with a classic controller)
- I have emailed the dev about the analog support and no response as of this point, I am going to email him again today.
Preperation
In any of the "oid" app's by yongzh
you need to make the following changes after properly sycning the Datel Wii wireless retro controller (or a wiimote) with either of the two applications listed above. (thanks Salpula for this info):
Input settings > Key Mappings - remap the keys as necessary
Then
Other settings > Use input Method > check off the box
FPse Controller Info:
Coming Soon!
Testing
I tested: SNESoid, Nesoid, GameBoid, N64oid, and Gmail using both applications and the controller.
With all of the applications both sync apps worked fine and generally speaking gave the same results, accept for N64.
If anyone remembers who ever made the original N64 controller was probably smoking something good when they designed it and due to this you need to take full advantage of all of the buttons on the Datel Wii wireless retro controller. Only one application was able to do this as of this point, being Wiimote Controller (by C.C.P.). Regardless of how it ran I was only able to play golden eye via Wiimote Controller (by C.C.P.) and not
Wii Controller IME (by Ryan Frawkley)
Conclusions
Datel Wii wireless retro controller is honestly a better controller to sync to any android device in my humble opinion as of this point then a standard wii mote. Most android users will be syncing controllers to their devices to play emulated games and while the wii mote accomplishes this its not great at it, and honestly kind of sucks for systems with alot of buttons on the controller (PS1 and N64). The only way to get around the button limitation as of this point that I know of is using Wiimote Controller (by C.C.P.) and Datel Wii wireless retro controller.
P.S. I would love a PS3 sync app but as of this point it does not exist
Did you set wiiremote ime as the keyboard input?
Hi,
Yep I did.
Alternately, if your Xoom is Rooted, try Rwiimote.
Its not but I guess I could. What's the advantage of rwiimote?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Not sure what the advantages are, I've only come across it recently, but I'd have thought worth a go to see whether it works.
I have mine working with all the emulators. Make sure you enable a
"Alternate control" or whatever.
Edit : the setting is actually "use input method"

Bumped with new info
Just got my Datel and I'm at work so I've only tested it with SNESoid and N64oid but it's working well. I was using Rwiimote for the wiimote but the Datel doesn't seem to like this. Quickly downloaded Wiimote Controller and configured and was impressing my co-workers with Super Mario Kart. Lovely.
I wish the controller werent so expensive...and RARE, not even amazon has them, the hell. I'll probably stick with my wiimote/classic controller pro combo, at least for a month or so. Isnt onlive supposed to be releasing a controller for the ipad and android?
Ouch, $40? I paid$23 on ebay.

Amazon UK doesnt ship to the states, and after conversion and shipping it would end up being the same price or more
I ordered mine from here, price is pretty good. I believe they deliver internationally.

hi all,
I just bought a datel wireless retro controller and played for a while with FPse and GameBoid. I found that it is really hard to execute top-left, top-right, bottom left and bottom-right these 4 directions by using the control pad. Does anyone have the same experience?
I don't have much experience on game issues, so i don't know if that is normal or not. Thanks for help.
Is it possible to connect an xbox 360 or ps3 controller to the evo preferably for use with emulation apps?

Controller
Xbox 360 not possible 2.4ghz i think. PS3 Bluetooth controller has not worked for me could not get to pair. Might need an app and could not find one.
I use a Wii remote and app off the market with Emulator and roms for NES. Works extremely well. The normal Wii controller feels small to me and cramped but very useable. I believe you can plug the game pad controller add on into the Wii remote and use it as well. Not tested but should work fine.
I am running CM7 so you have to be Rooted. I know CM7 and maybe other Roms? They use a changed bluetooth stack thats incorporated in the ROM. It's more universal to devices.
I love playing NES on any HDMI tv. Hope this helps.

Works great with the wiimote app. Easier to travel with as you dont have to carry the wii-mote + classic, and it has enough buttons for all emulators.
Hey everyone-
I've been looking around lately for a possible solution to my gaming woes on the Vibrant recently, namely the fact that the onscreen controls normally suck in any emulator. Because of that I've been looking for a gamepad, or game controller of some sort, that's compatible with the Vibrant via bluetooth or some other physical means. Beyond the wii remote (which I don't think works on the galaxy s line anyway), is there any solution that's built for android phones that'll work on the vibrant? I've already checked out the game gripper, but that's for keyboard phones. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears, thanks in advance.

I didn't realize that the wii remote worked on the vibrant, I checked in the market today and it said in the description that it wasn't compatible with the galaxy s series of phones because of a custom bluetooth stack issue or something. Although, if your running a custom rom maybe its not a problem. Either way I'll give it a try, thnx.

The only issue I have is that it is not supported by Sense roms, AOSP roms work just fine but Sense does not come with the right bluetooth policy for the sixaxis app to connect with the PS3 controller.

Its not a bluetooth policy its a bluetooth stack (the code). AFAIK HTC phones do not support many bluetooth devices without an aosp/cm based rom. It is unlikely stock htc one will support the sixaxis or an HID keyboard etc.
Sixaxis does not work with our stock rom, I am trying to learn enough about what sixaxis needs to work in order to get the controller working for the HTC One. I have seen some flashable zips and edits for the kernel/build.prop that have been developed to get sixaxis working with roms/devices that did not originally support it.
Also, going over the supported devices for Gameklip it says the HTC One X+ is supported for a wired connection to the ps3 controller.
You could use a USB OTG cable and sixaxis from the play store if you are rooted.
