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.
the zeemote works http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?skuno=86194#grey

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.

Hey man thanx for the link, I already found that, but actually I believe I found an even more elegant solution here: http://phonejoy.weebly.com/buy.html. It's a custom psx controller called the phonejoy that's modded to work on android devices, direct from China lol. Anyway, thanks for the help.

May I ask what rom you are using? I've been hoping to find a rom that supports wiimote for a while.
CM7 works with the wiimote. I've tried it, so cool.

Good to know, I'm on CM7 now so that'll save me some green. Although I'd really like a dual analog controller for the vib, ahh well...thanks for the heads-up.
You can use dual analog once you connect the classic controller pro to the wiimote

Cool, so the newer classic controller works! Good thing I'm buying one tomorrow . Thanks for letting me know. And just to confirm, the classic controller PRO (that one specifically), works in addition to the old one right?

Both pro and non pro work, you can see videos of them working on youtube.
And remember wiimote only works with bluetooth 2.1 (cm7) for now

You can buy a PS3 controller. They connect via bluetooth and work pretty well.
Well since the dead thread is already brought back, has anyone tried using a bluetooth pad along with tv out? I've seen a kang cm build that says it has working tv out and was wondering if anyone has tried it yet.
Edit: link to kang build, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461705
Interesting proposition. Do you have the necessary tools to try it? If so, I'd like to hear the result.

I used the ics passion rom with TV out and two wii controllers to play super Nintendo games with my wife.
It works great
Even with multiple controllers.

Hi. I have Xperia Arc S with latest Android ICS update (4.1.B.0.431).
My laptop was stolen and I heve to use my phone for browsing.
So I've connected my orphaned bluetooth mouse Logitech m555b to the phone without any external programs.
And it works perfect.
Except one thing: all the mouse buttons work as left-click "tap action".
But on right click it should react as "back", center - "home".
Here is the video where this mouse works perfectly with Samsung Galaxy S phone.
youtube.com/watch?v=AkUiTZLBMnk
Is there any way to make it work properly on my phone?
One hint. In ColorNote right click works as popup.
So actions sent to Android OS -> Application properly.
But for some reason right click doesn't used by Android OS properly.
Is there any config file responsible for (bluetooth) mouse actions?
Any news about M555B and ICS?
Are there any news about compatibility of M555B BT mouse and ICS?
I have my Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS 4.0.3 and my BT mouse M555B works properly BUT all keys are mapped only like a click and i REALLY MISS the right click (= android BACK) and center click (= android SETTINGS).
I've just made 2 test with one Galaxy Note with Gingerbread (2.3) and the compatibility is perfect (right click = back and center click = Settings). The same with a Galaxy SAdvance (with Gingerbread too.. 2.3)
I'm really wondering WHY and upgrade of Android Operating system causes loss of features in compatibility of the mouse.
Please help us
Thanks

Same problem here...
Every button works fine with S2 (4.12).
But not with Nexus7 (4.2.1)...
Don't use any USB device for long , it will burn the IC , xperia arc chip is not made to supply desired current and may burn.
hello all
saw a thread on sonymobile showing a guy using the k400 keyboard with the live dock
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/28498
mine arrived today and everything works great, apart from the mouse is invisible haha
everything functions and i can drag and click with the mouse, but cannot see it
im using doomkernel v5 and jjs hybrid 3.1
im assuming its to do with the set up i have
so the question... what is anybody else running to get it working properly?
il have a play around and update if i find anything
EDIT
ICS has problems with livedock
flashed arconium and everything works fine now and i can see the mouse lol
Hey all, as the title suggests, Is it possible to use my Xperia Play as a gamepad for my nexus 7? seems like it would work somehow, but I have no Idea, and theres not much out there on google about the subject.
Thanks guys
Maybe this app will do that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteclient&hl=nl (Client) and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteserver&hl=nl (Server). I haven't tried this myself though.
Yes I did see this just before, but I have not rooted my Nexus 7 yet, and Im not sure If I want to as I wont be flashing any custom roms
How about this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=droidbean.btcontroller
I do not have any table to test, but i suggest using one of above apps with gamekeyboard.
The BT Controller app works great. I use my Play to play games and emulators on my Eee Pad SL101. The Bluetooth connection is more reliable than WiFi for the most part anyway.
If you have a ps3 controller you may pair the devices and works great.
Sorry for my English.
I just got my new keyboard for my thor, and i was wondering if I can use a BT mouse with my thor, and ifany of you can recommend a good mouse that would work too? (if possible)

I briefly used a BT mouse and keyboard with nexus thor. Don't recall the brand of mouse; pretty sure it was a Logitech. While both devices connected sucessfully the overall experience wasn't satisfactory given touch centric interface. I quickly reverted back to BT keyboard (AmazonBasics) and my trusty finger smudging up the screen.

I frequently use both a BT keyboard and BT mouse with my Kindle HDX 8.9. I even use it to log in to my computer at work through the vpn and at home through Logmein, and the mouse/keyboard combo is much easier to use than the on screen kb and touch screen.
