am i asking you to do it?
Ive been eyeing that mini one for a while now. I think TV out + emulators would prove to be pretty awesome. The only thing thats keeping me from getting it is that I havent seen any evidence of being able to map hardware keys (menu, home, back, search, or trackball/arrow) to it.
EDIT: Actually we are probably going to have to wait until Froyo is released before something like this will work. JI6 doesnt support Bluetooth HID's, so bluetooth keyboards and Wiimotes are no go. Though snooping around on youtube, this thing has more potential than I thought. The most in-depth video showed a guy using the special function keys (volume up, down, mute, media keys and the like) they all worked as expected, so Im hoping the same experience can be achieved on android. If not, Ill probably end up getting it for my HTPC anyways.

And full support for hardware buttons. You can even designate a camera button!
EDIT: Right now that app is sitting at two stars in the market, mainly because it isnt working on Evo's or Galaxy S phones... Oh well...
I definitely wouldn't want to "carry this around," but it would be amazing for emulators and other games.

This guy has his attached to his HD2. Also, the Vibrant is just about the same size as the HD2, so this makes for a good size comparison. I kinda wouldnt mind having that hinge thingy, and long as I could add it to my black gel case, and have it fold back instead of over the screen.

Once this 2.2 that our developers are getting tonight is in our hands then all of these things will work.

My opinion? If you want a physical keyboard, sell your Vibrant and get a G2.
Why? With the 2.2 update they should work... I'm just not at home so I can't test atm.

Wasn't the wiimote not working because we have bluetooth 3.0. So what does froyo have to do with it?

I believe the problem before was that it didn't have the Bluetooth HID drivers. I think those are supposed to have been added in.
Well weve got perfectly working Froyo roms now. Anyone here have a Wiimote they could try pairing?
I am running bionix_obsidian v2 froyo build. I also have a wii remote and can confirm it does not work!!. it will reconise the wii and will try to pair but asks for a pin. to my understanding the wii remote does not use a typical pin to pair.

I'm currently using this one, and works fine with bionix Obsidian
When pairing, Vibrant asks to input one time PIN from keyboard. I just typed what it said then all fine.
Awesome!
Would you mind testing out some of the function keys, like volume and media buttons?
And also any way to use Menu Home Back and Search with this?
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

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!
Codejunkies.com I ordered one from there... no mention of out of stock or anything like that.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
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!
So now that we have got full HDMI out, are there any devs looking into getting the PS3 controller working with our beloved EVO? I'm aware of the ability to use the Wiimote. I've also heard they have gotten the sixaxis controller working on maemo, another linux based mobile system, and supposedly there are drivers for using ps3 controllers on windows 7? Let's get some reverse engineering going on this bad *****, I know I would love to see this!
On a side note, thank you to everyone in the community, lurkers and active members alike, especially the devs who work day and night so that we can play with our toys to their full potential!
From what I remember reading in here somewhere it has to do with the Bluetooth stack(s) used on android, where the protocol* wiimote uses is compatible and the ps3 one isnt.
*correct me if I'm wrong people
Sent from my Ginger ***** Supersonic
Yes this would be excellent! But how long will it be before the market devs start converting their games to be compatible with such epicness lol!?
Seriously someone should establish this
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Totally possible to get the PS3 controller working.
Would require a custom bluetooth stack, custom kernel with usb-host mode to do the initial pairing, then finally pairing it with the custom bluetooth stack.
See link for more info: http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html
This would really be amazing. The wiimote ain't that great for playing many emulators unless you connect a classic controller to it.
Cobaltikus said he'll look into porting his CobaltController (Dual Shock 3 for WM6) to android about one month ago, so it might happen soon.

Would that one be possible to use with the phone (with the already existing wiimote-app, because I doubt anyone will make a new one for that)? If so, I might consider buying it.
Edit: Googled, and found out that it works! Can't link it however, due to my low post count, but it was the second result when googling "Wii Wireless Retro Controller datel".

Make sure you buy a genuine controller. Chinese copies won't work.
I was able to use sixaxis just fine with my official Sony PS3 controller on my rooted Verizon Galaxy S3
Im running it and it works fine, currently playing Nova 3 with it.
Thanks for the replies, guys. Ordered one today. I'm also looking at the GameKlip in this section, which looks so badass. Only issue with it is it might not fit with my TPU case. Hopefully he can get a model to fit it with most gel cases.
Well, as convenient as wireless connection would be, I was able to connect my PS3 sixaxis to my TMo GS3 using my OTG USB adapter. Now I just need to look into getting a gameklip type holder.

The maker said if you give him the exact size of your phone with the case he could make a custom one for you. And he said if he said if it didn't fit you could get a refund I think.
I can confirm the xbox 360 controller is supported. The wireless one too, if you have the pc receiver.

Root is required if you want to map controls for games that don't support a controller. The majority unfortunately... This is done through the sixaxis app of course.

I guess I’m confused. I downloaded N64oid and have a couple roms (Mario kart64/goldeneye) and they both work well using the on screen controls but when I plug in my PS3 sixaxis controller via OTG cable the controller will control things like navigating the home screens but once I’m in the game it does nothing. Pressing start takes me back to the home screen. Do I have to root in order for the PS3 controller to control my game controls?

I was having the same issue running a custom ROM (CleanROM 2.5), it was bugging the hell out of me and I didn't see anyone else having the same problem. What I did was restore back to factory (reflashed in my case), did not install ANYTHING except sixaxis and N64oid and it stopped for some reason. Then I rooted, with stock ROM, still worked great. No idea why restoring worked if anyone else has a work around please let me know.
I currently use my dual shock 3, but I was wondering if any of you use something different?

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.

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.
