Screw MT! Use your Wii remote as a controller!

I have the solution!!!
I just downloaded Wiimote Controller from the market and can now use my Wii controller to play NES games and SNES games on my X10. Woot!
I tested out Contra and Mike Tyson's Punchout and they both worked flawlessly using the Wii remote as a controller (Saw video of SNES games being played). This may not be the best solution for our phones(Obviously MT would be great but meh) But it is a damn good substitute.
If any has or wants to download this to try out games on a PSX emulator or any other emulator you may have that would be awesome!
Cheers!

P.S. I did a search to make sure nothing similar was posted and found nothing in this forum. If it's old news sorry!

It is pretty neat to be able to use a wii mote to play games, but it just feels wrong when your controller is bigger than the screen haha. And when i'm playing a game on the train there is no where to put the phone to use the wii mote. Unless you set it on your lap then you get major neck cramps staring down at your legs.
Now if you could rig something to clip the wii mote onto the phone that would be cool.

How about PS3 controller?

Though PS3 controllers are bluetooth I don't think they could ever sync with the phone as they only pair through the usb cable, while the wii-mote pairs wirelessly.

? once you've paired the Wiimote with your x10... can you still use it on the Wii without having to re-pair it with the wii??

Good question, I don't know my Wii doesn't want to work right now.

After pairing it with my phone, then quitting the game and turning the wiimote off I pushed the power button on my wiimote and the Wii turned on
Lol too many wiis in that statement.

OnLive for Android (Player, not Viewer!) v1.2

Player Client available on Android Market now.
Go ahead boys, and get those tissues ready! You can now play games (like Assassin's Creed: Revelations, DIRT 3, etc.) on your Kindle Fire.
Now I really hope Bluetooth works for Kindle Fire, as it does for the Nook, for non touch-enhanced games.
Attached is the apk for it, in case you can't access Market // don't have your Kindle Fire rooted and want to just side load it (latest version as of 12/8/2011 ; v1.0).
UPDATE:
Attached is the apk for version 1.2, latest as of 12/23/2011.

Thank you thank you thank you!
Works like a charm on Transformer 101. Can't wait to try it out for real, with my ps3 controller.

not working in germany

Thanks chap
Works a treat - shame no Bluetooth on the Fire though.

I think the Onlive Wireless Controller may connect to the Kindle Fire via Wireless. It is supposed to have a bunch of modes to connect to almost any device. I am hoping that the Kindle Fire is one of the "any devices" and not the "almost".

*Fixed* due to exclusion of the other half of the population that DOES actually play TOO

I decided to give it a try, and with the limited touch games I decided on Darksiders. It actually controlled pretty damn good considering, but my internet doesn't quite have the bandwidth for high quality streaming. Seems like a fun game too, I might pick it up for the PC sometime.
BTW it works fine in Canada.

Well, women don't need tissues. If anything, they need towels =P

It worked for me, though I played Dirt 3 and it was glitchy (audio and video would stutter at times, and I got some artifacting), and the quality was only average (kinda blurry). I am on a fast connection (20/4) with Comcast, and it's running fast and smooth, so I don't think it's that. Also, it decided to exit the game on it's own, twice.

Thank You Thank You

yep.....

You can use a 360 controller with the OnLive app, right? So if I purchased a usb-to-mini usb adapter I should be able to plug in my 360 controller to the KF, right?
I've found an adapter on amazon for a dollar, it won't hurt too much for trying it out unless someone thinks it won't work.

Uh... I don't think the Android device has the necessary drivers to work the 360 controller.

why are you even in this thread?!

I played Dirt 3 demo on the Kindle Fire. Not bad. Controls were OK, just have to get used to the touch controls and it played with only a little lag. Saw some glitches in graphics but that is due to connection speed I guess. I have DSL 6.0 only and it was very playable.
They say we get a free game for signing up so i will check that soon.
The app works flawlessly as well. You can watch thousands of people playing live games and much more, pretty cool app and service for mobile, I think it will be big soon on mobile devices.

Apparently (according to Onlive's facebook at least) an update was pushed on the 14th that improved compatibility. Anyone had a chance to grab the new APK?

Bluetooth Game Controller

Hey, I am looking to get a bluetooth game controller for transformer to play old console games on. Can anyone recommend me a good one? I would also like to use it with my Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks

A ps3 controller with the sixaxis app works well, or a wired xbox360 controller (wireless works with adapter too) Both should work on ICS.

I use a wii remote. Use wiimote from google play to sync. App is free

PS3 controller w/ SixAxis app FTW.
I play FFVII, Megaman Legends, Parappa Tha Rappa and a few other PS1 games on my tablet w/ it.
I also play shadowgun and GTAIII w/ it as well.

How are the PS3 controller and Wii controller with the Genesis and Nintendo ROMs?

I did have the Genesis emulator on my phone. I don't think I ever tried it w/ a controller, but I can tomorrow and report back.

Cool, thanks. My goal is to get a controller that works with as many emulators possible. Would be pretty sweet to be playing all the old classics again on a portable device.

PS3 controller and sixaxis is best, make sure its genuine

What is your setup for emulator games?

What does everyone here use for a gamepad/controller? Wired or wireless? How do you like it?
I'm specifically interested in a setup for nes & snes that isn't too costly.

If you have a Wii, the WiiMote works great. Even better if you have the classic controller. It doesn't even need to be supported by the emulator, perse. You can set it up as an input device, so it'll work with any game that supports key input.

Just my pc connected with hdmi to tv + a set of 5.1 speakers + xbox 360 controller wireless

I use a PS3 controller for N64 games on my gaming computer, surface pro, and android devices. I usually use it wired, but I have used it wireless before. I'm not sure how much PS3 controllers cost since I got my PS3 about a year after they came out, but it works well if you can deal with the windows drivers if you want to use it with windows.

I use ps3 controller as well with the app forget the name. Works well with most games some require that analog input feature which can be sketchy sometimes. I used that with my old g2x with HDMI for PlayStation games. And Chrono trigger on SNES. Haven't put anything and my nexus though. Not much of a gamer anymore.

I'm testing out the Moga Pro right now. Early returns are it isn't worth the money.
And in case it want clear, my question was for playing the ROMs directly on the nexus 4.

I use the GameKlip with PS3 controller and SixAxis app. I put that set-up together the first week I got my N4 and have been using to play NES, SNES, GBA, N64 and PSX emulators with no issues. Its worked perfectly for me, especially since PS has the best gamepad for fighting games.

I was using a ps3 controller and a stand I bought. But I got tired of having to keep putting it on the stand. I went and bought a moga hero two weeks ago. The price is a killer and works alright. L2 and R2 doesn't work on epsxe. Fits in pocket nicely.

I'm using a Moga Pocket for emulator stuff.
I got a impulse controller from kickstarter but after waiting so long for it, I bought the Moga.
The impulse controller arrived like 2 days later :laugh:

I use this...
