Hey guys,
I am wondering something that probably went through evry handheld gamer's mind;
Is it possible to connect a gamepad joystick (maybe via usb?)? If so, would it be plug and play on WM 6.0? How would the configurations work???
Anyways, just a crazy idea...
Phil
P.s. - By the way, here's a bluetooth gamepad that supposedly works with all bluetooth enabled pocketpc, smartphone and symbian phones. What I'm asking for is a wired gamepad, not wifi, bluetooth or irda.

Oh what would all of us give to have usb host ability on the wiz.
Unfortunately wizard cannot host usb devices- it only acts as a client.

now that would be a killer app!
That's IR, right? Not the system's bluetooth?

this works as remote for most my home electronics
it's ir only and ir range of mine and most pda's is very very poor
PS3 uses propriatary bluetooth, no iR. So the only option right now is to buy the PS3 remote, unless someone can open the sony propriatary bluetooth.
PS has no iR, all works based on bluetooth, hence the question
Using a pocket pc as a bluray remote for PS3 over bluetooth would indeed be awesome.

id rather go the other way and use my dualshock 3 as a controller for my PPC emus
Any luck on this? There's gotta be a way to get them to sync up some how and allow control options.
This really will be useful, I mean how many people can controll their PS3 with their cellphones =] ?
I dont know much of how to make such an app but id gladly contribute with graphics and/or testing if someone has a way to do this.
I really don't think this would be possible or there would be bluetooth drivers for getting the SIXAXIS controller to work on the PC... there are drivers but you have to plug it in with the USB cable so obviously no one has found a way to dig into the bluetooth stack on the ps3.
EDIT: I'm sure it's "possible" but improbable based on my above statement
I have the logitech diNova which uses bluetooth to contol your pc and ps3

that's a keyboard right? that brings up an interesting concept! Just have the ppc bind to ps3 as a keyboard and make a little touch app that passes keystrokes?
I think the whole challenge here is to get the bluetooth on the ppc to accept connections as peripheral device services.
Another vote for awesome. I have a Logitech BT keyboard that I use on the PS3 and PC. The keyboard has full control over the PS3 including movie playback.
any news? i would really appreciate a keyboard emulator on pocket pcs using bluetooth. a special playstation 3 hack would be the burner.
I know you can connect your bluetooth headset to the PS3... Should be able to use on chat with friends but I've never tried.... Sony also released a headset for online games that can connect to mobiles so I wonder if anyone has tried connecting their sony remote to pc, would probably need drivers though to use properly if at all...

If you look at their website, it looks like that needs custom hardware that connects to your AV equipment. It doesn't really explain how it controls it.

It's possible and has been done. The SIXAXIS has been in use for a while now. You can even have the rumble/vibrate function (dualshock controllers) work on a PC recently.

Someone please come out with an app for ppcs!! Blackberries are about to have this product already.
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/10/unify4lifes-blackberry-products-demoed-at-ces/
be used on Windows Mobile? If anyone's recently scene the OTOY vid, the controller being used on the Omnia's a Microsoft X360 wireless controller. Has anyone else accomplished this, is that OTOY, or does the controller natively work w/ WM (> WM5, I'm assuming)? I don't have one to test w/, but am going to purchase one as a PC, and if it works, PocketPC solution.
Thanks.
Oh, I see. But, what about...
Okay, after further research, I'd found out that the X360 wireless controller uses a proprietary wifi. :\ But, what about the PS3 SIXAXIS? I know that uses bluetooth. Anyone ever try to sync a PS3 controller w/ their PocketPC?
Hello to all of you,
As i saw here are some impressive programmers at work and i wanted to ask how it can be done to rewrite a normal windows driver for windows mobile? I think it would be wonderful to use the ps3 controller as gamepad.
Im kinda new to the whole programming scene but ive got time and a strong will so if anybody could give me a little push at the start i will get to the goal more quickly.
Thanks for any advice!

if you could, it would be amazing, infact any controller to work with the phone would make me very happy. Especially when using the PS1 emulator.
However I stuggled to get my PS3 controller to work with my PC so getting to work on a phone?... dunno.
Tutorial to use your ps3 controller as gamepad on pc
i think it can not be that difficult but ill try
If I'm not totally wrong, I think I remember that die Experia X2 will can be used as a PS3-Controller and connect it directly with your PS3.
OK this migth not be your question, but is a bit similar maybe and maybe some have interests for that (I'm sure this option will be ported from the X2 to the HD2!)
microsoft & xbox
Windows Mobile + X box = Microsoft Portable Gaming Device controller.
Perhaps it could work with this driver here.

If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.
Any progress ? I think this would be an awesome thing, SNES on Android with a PS3 controller = NGP
Has anyone tried "Cobaltikus's" app called CobaltController? It'll allow you to connect either a ps3 controller or a wii remote to our windows mobile phones. You can find it HERE
Anyone have any luck with this yet?
Has anyone checked out motioninjoy?
I cant even get gamepro to work let alone anything else. The last 2 listed, where do i find those? they are not in market
Heya all,
I thought I'd ask quickly if anyone else thinks WP7 could use an official MS gamepad. Considering the level of gaming that we could potentially be experiencing on our devices, I'd think a gamepad would be a must! Even if it were just a regular 360 controller that links with the phone, it would have a place in my bag/pocket.
Alex
a 360 controller won't connect to the phone because the xbox controllers don't use BT to connect like the wii and ps3 remotes.
I also wouldn't mind some sort of official controller, but I haven't seen one yet for any phone and I doubt microsoft will allow one.
er, theres no way i could fit an xbox controller in my pocket.
