Bluetooth Gamepad

Any good suggestions for a bluetooth gamepad for the Xoom?
I could use the wii remote's but was wondering if there's any better alternatives that anyone can suggest...
Thanks!

Also wondering the same. I think there's a good demand for a nice bluetooth controller. Something similar to the Xbox 360 controller would be nice.

I don't have a ps3 or xbox but i'd happily buy a controller if it worked!
Wii controller, while great - would be slightly annoying as if you use the classic controller the actual wii remote is attached and dangling loose...

Ps3 is bluetooth so could theoretically work, if an app provides support. I picked up a Datel wireless wii Retro classic controller or
whatever on ebay for $20, which should work with one of the wiimote apps. Its basically the wii classic controller without the need to tether it to a regular wiimote for wireless.

Let me now how that works out for u so I can get one as well

Icontrolpad is great little control pad for phones and pc. I'm waiting for mine to be delivered

PS3 Controllers wont work based on the way they pair with the PS3. Tried this and have tried to find apps that would make this work.

Wii!
A Wii controller of course! I got mine up and running fantasticly a couple days ago when N64oid was released. Its very simple and uses bluetooth (obviously). You will need the assistance of the app "Wiimote Controller" that can be found in the Android Market free of cost though to actually pair, but from there on out, your good! And hopefully you didnt even need to go spend any money Hope this helps. Take Care

Works pretty well! I used it with Snesoid and it worked great. Dpad and joysticks as well. 4 trigger/shoulder buttons and 4 standard thumb buttons.

Dow do i go about connecting a wiimote to this Xoom? I can't get it to connect via Bluetooth settings or a wiimote connection app on the market. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

For those keen on a Classic Controller, but not wanting to have the hassle of connecting to the WiiMote, take a look at the Datel Retro Wireless controller...

Does anyone know what games work with the wii remote / retro controller? I know the emulators work, but I don't think games like Samurai Vengence, Vendetta Online, Airattack HD, or Angry Birds works. Anyone know if there is a way to get them to respond to the controller input?

If you find one for sale somewhere, than let me know. Everywhere I have looked, they have all been sold out, and not a single one is on ebay!

also ordered one from codejunkies on Tuesday. Haven't gotten a shipping confirmation though.

Turbojunkies, used Shipito to get it sent to me here in NZ. Did get one from Ebay also, but they are only occasionally available via Ebay.
EDIT: Not sure what happened there, mine should read codejunkies also, not turbojunkies (awesome brain explosion though).

Here's what CodeJunkies just said about my order.
Your order is currently in transit between our UK office and our office in the US. Once it arrives in the US, it will be shipped out via UPS with the following tracking # 1z***********

Got my wii controller working finally, I was just being stupid lol. So that dattel Retro controller works well? All the buttons function? Any problems so far? About to order one if its still working well. Thanks for your time!

[HELP NEEDED] N64 to USB for Emulator FUN! [ACCESSORY REVIEW]

I ran into this while browsing Amazon. I've always loved the N64 controller layout and I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002B9FIUU
It's a N64 to USB adapter that I hope we can get to work with Emulators. I've tested the N64 controller in the N64oid app and I can't get it to work. I mapped the keys within the app and it does recognize the key presses when mapping. When the game starts the START button doesn't seem to to work.
The controller however does work when I'm on the home screen. I can move back and forth between screens and with the Analog stick.
I'm wondering if I can somehow pull the WiiMote controller app and recode it to work with the N64oid. I'm looking for suggestions on what we can do to get this to work. No documentation came with this accessory and there is a switch on it which I'm assuming switches from N64 to PS2 controller. I've only tested this in N64oid but I will try in the other emulators and see if it works. I contacted the dev of WiiMoteController to see if he'd be willing to make an app for N64.
Here are some shots of the accessory in question:

Thats cool i always wanted the snes adapter but n64 blows it away

Most definitely. I just want some input before I pull the trigger. I would be playing N64oid the most if not primarily and I need my Super Smash Brothers fix.

It's a N64 to USB adapter. I ordered 2 OTG cables and I believe that it'll work but I hope someone can confirm. I have a ton of these lying around my house and I'm dying to use it. I'm pretty sure I have an old OTG at home so I'm going to turn my house upside down today to look for it.
It's priced reasonably. Feel free to chime in. I hope this is a great find.

I would think any controller should work as long as it had the proper controller layout file in android. The PS3 and Xbox controllers have specific layout files so I would think one would be needed for a N64 controller.

I have a similar adapter for Playstation 2 Controller to USB and it only emulates mouse movements (left joystick) other buttons are not recognized. Proceed with caution.

I think I will buy it and be a guinea pig. Worst case scenario I'll just sell it to my friend who games with emulators on his laptop.

Did you try it out?

I ordered through Amazon and it took forever so I cancelled. I had better luck on eBay with the items coming from China.

I found one on eBay and ordered it today. Here's the one I got:
http://cgi.ebay.com/PS2-N64-CONTROL...Accessories&hash=item3368e62969#ht_1351wt_648
It's shipping from the U.S according to the eBay listing so hopefully I'll get it early next week. I will test this as soon as I get it and let you guys know. This would be the ultimate controller for N64oid (obviously).
I'll fill you guys in when I get it.

I'd be interested to know if it works - had trouble mapping up all the keys on a ps3 pad
e.g. the c buttons along with z/l/r/u/d/l/r/a/b

Yeah it wasn't that expensive but I hope it works. I will try this as soon as I get it. If it doesn't work I would imagine someone can make an app that can map the keys for the N64 controller like the WiiMoteController app.

GF wants to see stupid fireworks and I may be forced to go.

Just found this thread after wondering this same question - I like how Nesoid and Snes EX run with the Wii Classic Controller but n64oid just doesn't feel the same without the N64 controller.
Any updates on this? Eager to know.
Thanks!

Any practical reason to hdmi out to tv?

I just got to thinking about this. I mean besides the cool factor is there any other real reason to output your phones screen to your tv? If you have the adapter and whole hdmi out setup what do you use it for? I guess it would be neat for me for about 10min on my 51" but I can't see any real use.

I've paired mine with ps3 controller and use it to emulate ps1,genisis,snes,nes..and then hook up to TV..now o got a sweet time killer...

You can watch movies, display pictures, give presentations, play games...

Ok I stand corrected, that does sound cool. I would do that. I've got a 360 not a ps3 though. I'll have to do some googleing see if that's possible.

I thought about the whole movie thing. But with all the streaming media devices people probably already have I still don't get it. Maybe I'm assuming to much but any 360 or ps3 can stream just about anything you'd want imo. Pictures I'll never understand, I don't need to see a picture on an lcd. Presentations I can see that for the business guys who need it. Playing games, aren't you still tethered to a cord?

Use a wireless game controller.

Killing Zombies With My Samsung Galaxy S2

I have not done it with this phone since I have yet to buy the cable, but with my Vibrant's TV out all the time, its easier to put the movies on the Phone instead of the game console since im connected to it more often and using the Laptop means if my wife wants to use the laptop she cant without interrupting the movie. (She could ealk the 8 FT to the desktop.. but thats niether here nor there ) As far as games, even though your tethered atleast with the vibrant, it wasnt that bad.. kinda makes the device the console and controller in one and with all of these newer games coming out its pretty nice on my 46". just my 10 cents

Here is the best reason. the NBA league pass for mobile is only $40. I plug my phone to my TV and bam! No need to pay the $160.

You can use it for a presentation of pictures amongst friends/family.
I've used it to watch episodes of missed drama my family likes but you need to find good quality because anything over 40'' will look blurry.

Great for streaming out of market sports from the internet...just more convienent to connect your phone to the tv instead of a computer..

I would like to know this as well. I've read elsewhere that they block it from HDMI out, but would like to know if anyone has any experience with this and also if there is some way around it with a rooted device. (ie freezing some background app like you can do with the one they use to block free tethering).

Did I miss something??????

Ok, heres the issue.i know that with an OTG adaptor and our phones we can plug in mice, keyboards, flashdrives and self powered external hdd's. We also have figured out that you cannot plug controlers into it and expect it to work but we can use the sixaxis ps3 controlers to utilize our emulators. Now i was showing off to my son's whom have laptops and they where bragging about the n64 emulators on their respective computers, so being the caring, loving father that i am, i couldent let them gloat so i downloaded the n64 emulator and some roms on my phone and showed them up. Now mind you playing Zelda on it is not easy, so i was thinking to my self since the wii controllers do not work, "self", thats what i call my self... "self, i am cheap and dont want to spend all the money to get a ps3 controller but i want one now....Hmmm what would happen if i took my controller that i using for my mac and used that..." so i plugged it in and DAMNIT TO HELL IT WORKED!!!!!!! I was able to map my key to my emulator, control alot of the os form the joystick, which had me wondering... What if "we" only tested a small selection of controllers like only xbox360 but what about the thousands of generic controllers out there? The one i was able to get to work was the Saitek: p2500 Rumble Force. The company is still around and it seems to be just a regular controller. Just a thought.......

Nice find...but i rather stick to my wireless ps3 controller. No wires is better for me.

How are you able to connect to the OG? I used to be able to connect my wii remote to play nes.emu rooms but for some reason google changed something in 4.2.2 and now it won't connect. It asks for a pin but I've searched everywhere for an answer.

To be honest I haven't tried yet on 4.2.2 I just started using Rootbox about 2 days ago. Glad you said that, now I'm having issues with gettin the Sixaxis app to work.
***Update*** I cleared the data of the Sixaxis App and it updated the bluetooth address, it now works for me.

Sounds nice, will try a wireless Xbox360 Controller later on, been messing with those quite a bit ( SCREW YOU MICROSOFT I MOD MY XBOX OUT OF SPITE!! )
and I've done some work with the Xbox360 but I'll try.

I buddy of mine got the Moga Pro, and it's great for the LGOG. I don't have to take my Diztronic case off of it, and it still fits into the mounting bracket. Overall, it is very comfortable. The only bummer, and it's not due to the controller, was that I couldn't map any buttons for Call of Duty: Zombies. You have to use the screen to control the game. Worked flawlessly with Dead Trigger. Moga's app is kind of lame, too.

And this is the only advantage of using the Sixaxis app because there is touch emulation. Would be sweet if there was a universal app that did the same thing with other controllers, there may be but I just haven't discovered it yet.

I've always wondered how people use their sixaxis controller to play games on their Android.
How do you play? your both hands are holding the sixaxis, what's holding your phone? Or is there a way to hold your phone on top of the sixaxis.
I would like to know because I want to use my sixaxis, but feel really weird holding the sixaxis and my phone on my lap. I want to know if there is a controller that can hold a phone similar to the MOGA controller but much less expensive.

As much as I love the design and the way it fits in my hands the durability makes me say avoid at all costs.

Looks cool to me- I might check it out because I'd rather have it all together- meaning like a handheld console where the controls are on either side of the screen.
