[Q] WiiMote w/Emulators. Need advice on what to buy/mapping + ?'s

I have my Evo running an AOSP ROM and I have PSX4DROID, SNES, Gameboid, N64oid as my emulators. I went out yesterday and purchased a WiiMote (just the remote) but apparently that isn't enough.
I will mainly be using it for N64 (have to get my Zelda fix) and Mario Kart 64. I tried opening Mario Kart 64 and mapping the keys. I mapped all the keys and when I launched the game I could not turn with the D-PAD on the Wiimote.
I successfully paired the with WiiMoteController (app) but it won't turn left or right. I can do everything else but it kind of defeats the purpose.
Questions
Should I be mapping the keys within the N64 emulator app (what I've been doing) or map the keys in the WiiMoteController app?
Do I also need to buy the Nunchuck attachment?
Is it possible to just have the WiiMote and use that for my gaming?
Is there a Wii Controller attachment that I can slide my Wiimote into to turn it into a full fledge controller?
Why don't the Rom Gripper & Rom Gripper ++ download any ROMs? Are the servers down?
I'm confused and frustrated as I was trying all night to play around with it. I also want to mention that I didn't have success in the Zelda app either.

Wii-mote alone doesnt have sufficient buttons for the N64. Really its lacking to even cover the SNES.
Mostly I game using GBA, because of this. To combat it, you can get the classic controller plugin - http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-nintendo/dp/B000IN0BSU
Which plugs into the wiimote, and should map through the WiiMoteController app, though I havent tried to see for sure. Personally I want it totally portable, and dont want to have to carry a third thing. I wish they would just make a wireless wii classic controller to work on its own. But alas...
Another problem you may be encountering with N64 and PSX, is mapping analog to digital. You are familiar with the analog controls of the original, but as I understand it, you can only map the classic controller as keyboard input, which turns them into digital control (full on, full off, like a keyboard button press). For many games that wont matter, but for many it will. Just another consideration.
Don't know anything about romgripper though, I only backup my games that I have bought with tools built from scratch

you mean the Datel Retro wireless controller? That's what I bought. Think of it as a classic controller with the wiimote built inside

I laugh at everyone getting a wiimote + classic controller for use with their phones, lol. Who the hell wants to carry that around?
Hell, I don't even use the datel controller that much (thank god I have a wii to use it with as well). Like I'm going to carry a controller with me everywhere I go, seriously.
I just choose games that work well with touchscreen controls (like strategy games and rpgs)

So do you recommend me getting a nunchuck along with my WiiMote or returning the Wiimote and buying the Datel?
I downloaded the ROM before (I do own all the games I downloaded) and I only care about those 2 games.

well getting a nunchuck isn't really going to solve your problem of not having enough buttons for N64 and PSX games...
and about the controller still not working after you mapped the buttons, you still have to switch to the controller in the standard Android input settings (like switch away from an onscreen keyboard) AS WELL as enabling the "input option" within the emulators. Like in Gameboid, if you go into "other settings" you will find an input option that you have to toggle (in addition to simply mapping the keys in the controls section).

I get 5 to 10 emails/PMs a day about this, you're going to want to get the Datel Retro Wireless. Wiimotes are only good for NES and Sega Master System.

Bluetooth Gamepad

Hey guys,
I'm searching for a bluetooth or wireless gamepad for my future nexus.
Do you have any ideeas? I was almost into buying Wii Wireless Retro Controller but I can't find it anywhere so I'm looking for something else. Ohhh, this was my first option because is so COOL!
Another option could be Phonejoy's Gamepad, wich is OUT OF STOCK too. I could go for a PS3 SIXAXIS Gamepad, but I dont know if I can use it for other games like Shadowgun, Backstab, Dungeon Defenders (mostly RPG and FPS), not only with PSX Emulator.
Anyone who used a PS3 controller played games like the one above with it?
Thanks!

Just a word of warning you need to make sure your device is compatible. Even if it is, it might work with some app and not another.
There are some bluetooth controller to consider though like: Zeemote, MSI Gamepad, Wii controller (which seems to be the safe bet.)
Sometime you need to run a background 'keyboard' app to make some of these controller work, such as Bluez IME.
I have the iControlPad, but it only work with apps that support keyboard input, through the use of Bluez IME. The most fullproof way for me is still wired controller.

I'm dealing with the issue right now.
I use sixaxis for my PS3 controller but it seems there is lack of supported games.
I think trying FPse for it.
I've also Logitech gamepad (F710) and like you I'd love to see supported games beside FPse.

Give me a few days and this should become a reality with the Sixaxis controller

Honeycomb and ICS have native support for gamepads so they should work throughout the OS and games.
I have a PS3 controller on my Transformer and I also have the Wii Retro controller. The Retro controller sucks horribly compared to the PS3 controller. Plus they all connect via Bluetooth so any controller will act the same unless it comes with a specific binding app.
I don't have a Nexus but I think the PS3 controller is the way to go. I picked up a new white one at Gamestop for $29.
Datel makes the Retro wireless controller.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

I've done it.
Sixaxis with PS3 controller plus MHL to see it on my LCD TV.
Works great! But only in emulators like FPse (the emulator I've test).
I'll wait to the OTG cable and see if I can play with the gamepad on any game (which is not related to FPse).

do i need ROOT for all of this that you guys are talking about? i want to use the original ps3 controller to play games in my galaxy nexus but i totally don't want to root, please help, i don't care if i have to use cable or Bluetooth.

Not sure if this would work on phones, http://steelseries.com/us/products/other/steelseries-ion-wireless-controller
it does mentions tablets. it's coming soon.

[Q] Is GameKeyboard 2.0 able to work in any or all emulators?

Ive been searching for a good while on Google Play, Google Code, and sourceforge.net for emulators that fully support my SEMC Xperia PLAY touchpad, and found a small handful. Of that, only mupen64plus AE suited my needs. I dont have a computer at the moment, so PSXperia wont be an option at the moment. I mainly want psone, flash games, gameboy advance, and snes, as my n64 part is solved If there arent any, will the update to GameKeyboard have me covered?

As far as I know - mupen64 is the only emulator supporting the analog sticks.
Drop that as a must have, and there are emulators for PS1/SNES/NES/GBA/GBC/DOS and so on which support the play just fine.
GameKeyboard is to change Game buttons. for example, change on screen controls to the physical Touchpad

psx emu?
could you lead me to a psx emulator with touchpad. support, other than psxperia? I've already found ones for the other consoles I wanted to emulate. should I just keep my eye on fpse for now?

[Q] Games on Ouya

Does it have a mapping tool so you can play games that don't support a controller or can you not download them at all?

don't know really. It has some kind of touch pad on it. But since Ouya has a controller, the games designed for it will have gamepad inputs.
for other games, who knows yet. Maybe Sixasxis Controller app may be able to help. It has touch simulator profiles. It's rather hit and miss on it's success. It's not the app, but some game's touch inputs are not static, so it makes it more difficult to setup.

they support sixaxis controllers natively, and there are rumours that a few people will be porting their controller-mapping apps to OUYA, for the purpose of adapting those touchscreen .apk's...
There is nothing so far on the marketplace or on the major OUYA forums

Has anyone tested the Interworks Controller Pro U (aka Retro Classic Controller) with the Ouya (or any Android device)? I'm especially interested in joystick functionality...

Best Emulators to use?

So far I can't find a sega genesis emulator or an NES one that doesn't suck.
I've tried a couple NES emulators and NEStolgia is the only "Decent" one I've found but it doesn't support more than 1 player for the xbox 360 gamepads like the SNES one I have does.
Sega I just can't find anything period.
Also has anyone tried playing playstation on this yet?

Edit:Retroarch has multiple player mapping.
Retroarch 1.0.0.2 has a large selection,but can be a little difficult to use.
It has the only known working Sega 32x emulator for android via Picodrive which can run Knuckles Chaotix,but sadly not the prototype builds from Sonic Retro.
The N64 and PS1 emulators within may work fine for you,but not for us keyboard users who lack analog input since there is no analog mapping.
You can enable a touch overlay to access the rewind feature and other features. (stupidly missing input mappings for rewind and forward)
Retroarch needs a complete overhaul of its input mapping by adding all system specific controls including analog as mappable buttons plus rewind/forward.
There is PPSSPP's stable release that can even run the homebrew SRB2PSP at full speed (35/35fps) after enough option tweaking in exception to Deep Sea Zone.
PPSSPP runs DBZ Shin Budokai at a near flawless 60fps after tweaking.
I recently tried the DOS emulator called MagicBox with W95.img and got decent speeds,and internet explorer actually opening,but sadly no internet access.
Someone needs to cut out the middle-man and make Windows run properly on Android WITH internet access and unbeatable speed.
Can someone point me to info for getting Windows CE on Android without replacing the ROM or unlocking the bootloader?

epsxe has no audio on the Kindle Fire HDX no clue if the Fire TV suffers from the same issue or not.

So there isn't a decent Sega Genesis emulator yet?
Whats the best SNES emulator? Would love xbox360 gamepad support but not essential.
Just want these 2, I couldn't personally care for N64 or PSE. After those classic games from my youth .
