[Q] Is there any kind of controller that is usable for gaming on the Epic 4g?

You guys might have heard the new N64 Emulator for Android came out. I know we can't use the wiimote, but is there any other sort of device/controller that is compatible with our phones? Thank you for your time.

Its there anyway to get the wii remote or the ps3 remote to work on the epic? Is it a software or hardware limitation?

Software, once we get cyanogenmod working then it will be a go.

if there a reason that other roms don't have that support? From the looks of it cm7 will be a ways off before we see anything official.

I was wondering if those guys were going to work on this. Apparently you can use a wii mote with the Nexus S because it uses Google's bluetooth stack instead of Samsung's. We just need someone to work on making those changes for us.

Ditto. I also have the game gripper and its a must if you want to play emulated games.

i-Helicopter Works on Android

Hey guys, i recently bought an i-helicopter which is told to be working mostly with iPhones.
I got mine yesterday, i tried it and it is working just fine with our GS2.
For 30 euros, it is a funny thing to have around.
Check it out.
The reason i am posting this, is because i was searching all over the internet for infos, and if this thing was really going to work.... well i didn't, so there you go.
http://www.ihelicopters.net/shop/ihelicopters/ihelicopter-idevice-controlled-rc-helicopter-777-170/
i got it from MiniInTheBox

that looks like fun

cool.. What about controller App and plug in the transmitter??

That looks like fun... D: I wanna get one

looks cool, is there anywhere else for cheaper?

i don't know for cheaper. google it.
as for the app. you need to download i-helicopter from appbrain, in order to work.
And you need to stop any music application - service that might be running.
the only bug with the helicopter is when you receive a call, and suddenly you don't have a remote for the heli , then it goes... MAYDAY!!

Yeah got a couple recently, works awesomely... Infrared transmitter plugs into earphone plug. Very cool to play with... Pity all remote control toys have been banned from my workplace, be fun to buzz the co-workers...
A loophole... They never said anything about phone controlled toys.....
I-helicopter is also available on android market...
Cheers...

I jest ordered 777-173 for about 30€ from ebay
Cant wait to recieve

Can work these copters for iPod in our Galaxy? There are with IR jack adapter. Others have iPod plug, then cannot work.
Yes, also we need app I-Helicopter from Market..

I buy other electrononic components in MININTHEBOX without problem.
Frank

Solidly built, but still using IR, so extra transmitter + when the sensor can't "see" the transmitter, the heli drops like a rock.
Had one like this (although not phone controlled), dies on the second day.

PS3 Controller on i747M

I have been trying to hook up my PS3 controller to my i747M S3 with Bell and nothing happens. It's an original PS3 controller with an OTG cable.

I was able to pair a PS3 controller with my AT&T S3 using the sixaxis program on Market Place. You have to run a configuration program with the Controller hooked to your pc to match with your phone. Once done, you should be able to pair it.

Sweet thanks dude gonna try this out
Oh yea!? Thems fightin words....

I've used sixaxis on every recent android I've owned with no issues. That said, I use an otg cable as well without issue, it just takes about a minute or so for it to start working. Still haven't found an otg cable that fits tightly though.

Love my sixaxis here too + hdmi out...
Only downside is that you have to manually pair the controller every time you want to game instead of it being ready to go. Other big hassle is that you have to create your own button mapping profile (or google one) for each new game that you want to play. Wish there was a good app to centralize most of them. Would have to be a root app, though, in order to save 'em into the sixaxis config dir: /data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/profiles/GameName.map

fyi - this guy makes an s3+ps3 controller mount: http://buy.thegameklip.com/
for a few dollars more you can also have him include short usb cables to connect the controller, which according to him doesnt require root... unlike the bluetooth method.
i ordered the mount, but im still waiting for amazon to ship my ps3 controller. its nothing super amazing, but does the job.

that hdmi out is so laggy I couldn't use it ended up sending it back to the store.
+1 on the app perhaps starting a bounty to host all the maps for tablet and phone model although I rarely game, it does a few minutes to conduit the map

I got my Xbox controller working, but I had to get a paid app. It runs pretty well though. It's called USB/BT Joystick Center.
Edit: forgot to mention, you will need a otg usb cable

I have been playing Super Metroid with SGNES (?) and sixaxis. I get about a .5 second lag. It is fun to play at work, but not going to try and finish it with the lag.

MHL Adapter HDMI Out

Hello all. I am setting up a new home entertainment system, and was wondering if a MHL adapter like this would work with our Xperia Play.

You tell us man :]
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda app-developers app

Most likely not. The Xperia Play does not support HDMI, if my memory serves me right.

Thats why we do hackery my friend!
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda app-developers app

This line they add here in there "add"
"Designed For Use Smartphone, Tablet or Others with Mobile Devices Featuring MHL Technology enabled device"
Makes me question if thats particular to anything, But a device that already supported Hdmi wouldn't need this because it has an hdmi port. Since the xperia play does not support hdmi on its own this might be worth buying for the low cost and seeing if it does!

I feel like we've had this topic before... many times... and every possible solution except "hope" in this xBounds thing has been a massive failure.

Just got mine today.
I can confirm it does not work.
Was worth a try

I'm thinking about starting a thinktank on modding hdmi onto play. Who knows how many Plays I'll break lol

Move to Cubox?

Hey Guys,
I'm looking at moving away from the Ouya just don't really like it even as an XBMC box. Anyone had a look at the CuBox looking at the CuBox-i4Pro with the Xbian distro (http://www.xbian.org/). Any idea's how it compares?

I would move to anything. Even a Raspberry PI would be better at this point. Im really sick of this thing.

Yeah mate am liking the idea media box could run sickbeard,transmission, tvheadend and headphones easily....looking between the cubox or the u droid u3....bought 2 of the ouyas thinking they are destined for the trash

I'm at the same boat. I'm really tired of this closed platform, this eternal promise of an indie games heaven that we know will never come and the limitations and bugs and everything we know that would never be solved by costumizations because Ouya isn't good for this, and it seems that's no good for nothing. It's a garbage cube as a videogame and a mediocre solution as a media center. Was good for the price when launched, but today we have a lot of alternatives.

Only a real custom ROM that could totally unleash the Ouya console from the Ouya Store and etc can save this thing at this point... And I think we'll never get one.

Never say never....I never thought the boxee would be xbmc but it has (i bought 4)... i think it will take time but i can't be bothered waiting too long thinking give it a month and see what's out there the cubox looks awesome but would love something in a tegra 4 could you image that thing fly!!!...
But having said that am in love with the idea of having sickbeard,xbmc, heaphones,sickbeard and maybe squid on my media machine would be no need to leave all my nas devices on could attach a usb drive to this and copy media over on weekends or whenever...
