Recently I managed to get N64noid, however I also found out that the Samsung Epic 4G can't pair with a Wiimote. So I was wondering, is this a ROM issue or a hardware issue?
[I searched but the closest thing I found was regarding the Epic 4G touch and I'm not sure how similar the devices are.]
Update:
I flashed CyanogenMod located here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299621
After that my Wiimote and Sixaxis tethered to my phone. The Rom isn't for the feint of heart as it's not complete. It's almost complete however and my emulators run fine on my Samsung Epic 4G SPH-D700. I can also play some Android games with my Wiimote and Sixaxis that were originally a real pain via touch screen and keypad.
So this topic is solved. If this topic helps you, scroll down and give thanks to 'bender beerman'.
Also it was mentioned by 'tbob18' that it's possible to use Bonsai B16 and Thunderhawk to achieve the same results. I'm not sure as I haven't tested them yet, but I will soon.
I think it's a driver issue. The BT driver doesn't support HID devices.

i agree with ^^ both them. u can't pair a wiimote with an evo until u flash cyanogenmod onto it... may be the same with the epic? i haven't tried yet.
in case you're still monitoring this, i did actually successfully sync my wiimote to my epic running cyanogenmod 7, the 10/22 release, with the wiimote controller app.
I recommend FPSE and the SIXAXIS app. I have an Evo running CM7 and playing PLAYSTATION 1 ROMs (Street Fighter Alpha 3) and a dual shock 3 controller is sweet. I've got the apks if you want to try. This is the main reason why I dumped SENSE. Just PM me.

I'll keep monitoring this topic. I'm going to look for this cyanogenmod. My dad uses it on his EVO, though he won't let me test my mote on his phone.
Time to look into flashing the mod.
I'll update this post once I've figured it out and tested the theory. I really hope it works. It's straight up murder trying to play Legends of Zelda on a key pad or touch screen.
Edit: It seems my model SPH-D700 isn't compatible with Cyanogenmod. Now I'm bummed out.
Just a question.. I've tried messing with the wiimote app thingy from b4 but never really understood what it is exactly.. does it turn my phone into a nintendo wii controller or does it just allow my phone to be controlled by the nintendo wii controller?

It allows you to use a Wiimote as a controller for games and emulators.
Basically you can bind keys to it, such as (A) would bind to the a on the phones keyboard. It's much easier to use a controller than attempt to use the keyboard on the phone.
I read that Samsung is going to release Android 2.3 sometime this year. Maybe that will fix the bluetooth issue. I hope so anyway.
I have it on my sph-d700 epic, look here on xda in the Android development section

That app won't work on most epic roms, u need to have your phone rooted, and be running cyanogen mod

Also make sure before flashing that ROM that you don't need hd video playback or 4g. Those are the 2 things that don't work on cyanogen right now, but they're actively developing it right now.

Is 720x480 h264 considered Highdef?
I don't think so, but i'm not an authority on that subject. I know it doesn't play hd video from YouTube, and it doesn't play back video recorded from the phone, but i'm not sure what the limitation is on the resolution
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Just make sure u make a nandroid backup from clockwork mod before flashing cyanogen and if u find it unuseable u can just go back to how it was before
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've installed CyanogenMod and both my Wiimote and my PS3 Controller tether just fine now. Unfortunately Cyanogen is defiantly not finished. Not that I mind too much since this phone isn't going to be a phone for much longer.
QQPlayer works just fine for video playback.
Images taken with the camera don't make a thumbnail. It's only a little annoying. However critiquing Cyanogen isn't what this topic was about.
So let it be written (Is someone writing this?) that if anyone wants to use a Wiimote or Sixaxis controller with their Samsung Epic 4G SPH-D700, they will have to use CyanogenMod located below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299621
It is by no means perfect, but nice none the less. I'm going to continue testing this but since it doesn't pertain to this topic I'll probably not post to this topic unless someone asks any questions. I have this topic set to send me a notification. I'm by no means good at this, but I'll try to help.
hey, u should just keep posting here or in general until u get to 10 or 25 or whatever it is where u can push the thanks button and post in the development section. i'm glad to hear u got everything running. if you are having problems u can flash your roms over themselves without wiping any data (i usually flash my roms 3x, just like i wipe data, cache, and dalvik 3x) and it helps more often than you'd think. with cyanogen, i think after u reflash the rom, u may have to reflash the gapps.zip again too.

The Sixaxis should work fine on other roms using Sixaxis Controller from the market. So far I've tried it on Bonsai B16 and Thunderhawk, and it works flawlessly on both.
Anyone know and can confirm that there's an app that always u to control your epic from a wii remote?? id really appreciate any info

Most apps say they don't work with tw and that cm7 would work so I guess ill wait till thunderhawk turns to mtd and I guess ill have to keep flashing back and fourth to use it or id have to learn to love cm7 lol
But if anyone finds one that works that would b great =) or a fix sothat it works with tw lol

The only time I've ever gotten a Wiimote to work with an emu on my Epic 4G is when I had CyanogenMod on it. I remember reading in a thread somewhere on here (XDA) that you simply can't pair a Wiimote with the Epic 4G if it's running anything but CyanogenMod because of the Bluetooth stack written/created by Samsung. Something about it being too proprietary. It was a while ago, so I don't have a link, sorry. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

My bad lol why don't you get a ps3 controller? The Epic is supported for that regardless if you're on CM7 or not... At least to my understanding

I guess all the wii remotes only work on cm7.. so to get to play my nintendo 64 games.. I've flashed cm7 lol
And I'm actually starting to like it lol like my button on my headphnes actualllly works to skip songs and pause it and its just amazingg lol
Andd the best part is the wii remote works lol
So thanks everyone for your helpp
If anyone ever does find an app that works with touchwiz I still would love to know about it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah it has to do with the Bluetooth stack that tw uses, you could try miui.us if you don't like cm7 but I'm not sure if it works. What I do to play 64 is use the game gripper and the button re-mapper app to make the power button become a search button, that way I have a left and right trigger. Almost feels natural and it works on any rom.

I haven't seen clear evidence either way, I would really like to use either a sixaxis or wiimote to play my games. Hope someone can clear this up for me.
The only one that may have it is CM7. I have it installed and will check tonight.

Yeah, I. Needed the BT L2CAP support for my watch to work and CM7 is the only ROM that has it. I may have to get a sixaxis just to use for playing games on my E4GT.

the siaxxis app for the controllers works good, you just have to root it and you can use your ps3 controller. If your interested in using that. I had it for 2 months and im pretty happy with it.
Im on stock everything pretty much
Touch screen controls annoy me so I am looking into one for my phone anyone know of any?

A PS3 controller. You need to use an app to make it work though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Which ones?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
You can use a PS3 controller if you have root I believe and the app to make it work is called "SixAxis" on the android market.
You can also visit your local gametstop and pick up the Android Bluetooth Controler. Heres the link of the one I bought http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838 Works decent and great for the emulator apps such as n64oid and gensoid ect....
Would a stick on type analog joystick be out the scope of options here?

I was considering this prior to finding this tread.
I use a Sixaxis PS3 controller. Everything else seems simply uncivilized.
If I could find a way to get a fightstick working on it, that would be even better.
I'v searched all over cant find an answer . how do you map the ps3 six axis conteoller to work with Nba 2K13 ? i already have the controller connected wirelessly using the six axis app and am able to control asphault 7, Dead trigga, Mc4 and a bunch of emulators via downloded sixaxis touch profiles, natively, and in app mapping , but i cannot find a touch profile for Nba2k13 for N7 , nor do i see oprions to map keys . can ay one help or steer me in the right direction
p.s. i tried taking a screen shot and opening it n the sixaxis toch profile editor , but cant figure how to make buttons on top of it and what butons to put etc.... if can figure this out and make my own profile i will definitely share as im sure someome else can use it. if anyone else has made one could you please share it with me . thanks in advance
***Update**** I figured out how to make buttons ontop of the screen shot ... i save the map in sixaxis and choose it but the buttons dont work in Nba2k13 and the analog stick only works in 1 direction ...
so as u see guys i am getting close and i am trying... its not like im just sitting back asking for a hand out. so if anyone sees this and can help me get a working mapping going id really appreciate it .. and again if i get this working i'll be sure to share ...

Try the sixaxis guide in my signature. Its geared toward a ATT SGS3 but just use the nexus 7 name instead of the sgs3 and you should be good to go.

Have you successfully used profiles for other games? Are you using the classic profile? Maybe try another mapped profile on another game and see if you have any luck. Reinstall six axis tool? Here's the main link to the transformer thread, again credit to op.
