I've been looking at getting a bluetooth gp for my 1X, but can't find definite info about which ones will work with a standard non rooted out of the box 1X.
I found the name Phonejoy on a thread... would that work for me??
I'd like to be able to use it for Shadow Gun, GTA3 etc. Plus for OnLive & emulators.
If anyone could give me any info i'd be well chuffed

How bout gametel?
Sent from my HTC One X
Thanks for the reply.
The Gametel pad looks interesting, although it looks as if it doesn't support a lot of games!
Anyone else have any ideas for a good bluetooth gamepad?
I want to know this too! Gametel only supports a few games and I can't even find info on which Bluetooth keyboards work (if any)!
Tegra supports controllers but does the one x?

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?

I've read about using a Wii remote to play games on the phone, but I'm not able to find a working app for the G2. Has anyone found one that works on an emulator? If so, what emulator are you using and what wiimote app did you find?

Greetings from another SLC resident.
I had too much invested in my 8bit NES games to get a SNES system, so the only Nintendo games I'm even familiar with are the old ones. (I'm old. lol) Will those play on an SNES emulator? If so, then I'll give that a shot. Now if I could only find a NDS emulator I'd be all set!
Awesome don't see many people close on big forums like this lol. I see there's NESoid in the market. Lite and full. Full let's you save/load save states. Id reccomend that since its on phone. I always play mario or something whiile waiting then gotta quickkly pack up and go so that's nice.
Agreed on the NDS emulator lol. Best one I've seen is playstation, I bet the g2 could handle that but seems a bit much to me lol

the psx emulator works awesome on the g2. no lag. though i heard people having alot of problems with the wiimote app.
I haven't had trouble yet :shrug: to me it seems the psx has too many controller buttons to map to a phone is my hesitation
I haven't looked into this at all yet but is there any way to bluetooth a PS3 controller to a G2 to use with PSX emulator?
I use this: http://www.appbrain.com/app/wiimote-controller/com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid
I was thinking PS3 or 360 controllers too

It works really nicely with psx4droid if you have a wii classic controller.
On NES though, you can just use the wiimote and map it within NESoid's settings.
i use the wiiclassic controller and i use wii controller ide or something like that. never had any problems with the program.

I need some help. I'm using SNesoid Lite and Wiimote. I get the wii controller

controller doesn't work Anyone have any ideas why. my phone is still stock
I waiting to root when CM 6 comes out. thanks for any help.
There is a option in snesoid to enable rem remote controls. It's in other settings, use input method.

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.

Well, i have been using a Wiimote plus a nunchuk, and it works pretty good...i have been playing The Legend Of Zelda OOT with N64oid, and besides some fails here and there (that are not the fault of the WiiMote but the emulator itself), it works flawlessly, i like it a lot.

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.

You can use dual analog once you connect the classic controller pro to the wiimote

Pretty exciting stuff. I gave it a shot and it seems to work well, but you really need a controller to go anywhere. Has anyone tried a phonejoy or similar with onlive? Or would you need to get the onlive branded one?
I actually just got my shipment notification from Phonejoy. I'm very interested in seeing if this will work. I'm crossing my fingers since phonejoy states the app must allow keyboard input for their controller to work. Onlive certainly allows for keyboard input. I'll report back once I get my controller.
PhoneJoy partially works
SO far I have managed to get the direction keys to work, but not the regular buttons. I will let you know when or if they are working.
Can we use the sixaxis program and use our wireless ps3 controllers for this?
I'm wondering, has there been any developement? I would LOVE to get my Phonejoy working on OnLive, it would make it simply perfect.

i just emailed onlive.
ofcourse, they want us to buy a universal onlive controller, otherwise they are unwilling to help.
heres a thought, figure out what keys do what on a bluetooth keyboard paired with the phone and then set up phonejoy to use these keys as buttons.

Could anyone provide an update on whether this was successful for you guys? My Kindle Fire HD is arriving tomorrow and I'm interested in using the phonejoy bluetooth controller with it and the OnLive gaming service.
P.S. The noob video for this site is hilarious. And awesome. I hope I'm doing the right thing. :laugh:
Well found out that it would be cool to play psx games with FPse emulator, works great) on Note with psx gamepad or even to play anything with gamepad on Note,
first to ask you did anyone tried any of this this?

or
http://www.amazon.com/Joystick-Touch.../dp/B007KCSJI6
Looks like it could be a cool thing...
And second thing, did any one tried to connect any normal gamepad (via bluetooth or via USB), does it works?
I'm not sure which one to buy?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Phonejoy-And...ht_2796wt_1185
or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Wireless...#ht_5260wt_952
or any other on ebay....
does anyone has some ideas?
There are a few threads on this already, for more information.
Personally I have an iControlpad. And it works great.

+1 definitely agree with that. just sucks cause in some countries the ps3 controllers are terribly overpriced. managed to pick on up off of amazon for 30 bucks with a USB cable and an HDMI cable included.

Pretty sure they mean this:
Sixaxis Controller
I'm also using the sixaxis for emulator type games on my note and it works great.
After a lot of positive comments about the PS3 controller and the sixaxis app i have rooted the note and got the ps3 controller connected via the sixaxis app.
So, then i got n64oid emulator but now am having intense issues setting up a basic N64 controller map with the sixaxis app.
I understand the basic concept of making a keymap, but when i load a screen shot (from any orientation) it always loads in portrait, not landscape mode, and so i am not able to setup the buttons.
Anything boneheaded i am doing here?
EDIT: [solved]
Anyone struggling with creating the seemingly simple N64oid mappings on the sixaxis app, i can confirm that the droid map in this post works fine on the SGN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22204123&postcount=23
