I Know there are a lot of threads for Game Pad Controllers out there what i am wondering is if any of you have one that you use for the Inspire. I am looking to get one and while there is not much selection for android bluetooth game pads i want one to work with the emulators (FPse, N64oid, TigerNES, SNesoid, ect). So how about it any of you have any experience in this?
I have found out that you can use a Zeemote with android but i don't know if it works with inspire. i am looking for something more along the lines of a ps2/3 style setup in a controller cause that is very easy to hold for many hours on end.
UPDATE: I have purchased a zeemote to try will update when I receive and test it out.
UPDATE2: Have received said js1 joystick. Seems to work so far. Am going to fiddle with this and write a review!
MOD: I probably need to move this to the accessories threads now. Thanks!
WOOHOO!! it does work. I am using a Zeemote JS1 On the HTC Inspire 4g without Root. So far so good! I have used it with FPse, SNesoid and Tiger NES so far. Will test it out with the N64oid this afternoon! Using a free software that connects via bluetooth called Bluez IME software to connect. It was fairly simple just following the instructions. Will try and post videos when i get my hands on a camcorder.
Anyone heard of the one that uses the Wii controller?
Sent from my fast / stable HTC Inspire 4G
There are several that use Wii controller but if you have HTC.sense it won't work (ie stock Rom) HTC didn't include hid devices in their Bluetooth driver/stack. So unless you root you can't use a Wii controller. Not that I have found out. The guy that wrote the driver I mentioned above is working on getting Wii controller working with his driver. At that point it would be a great thing to have if u use your phone for games!

Some Chinese guy had remodified a PS1 controller which he is selling on Taobao (kinda like a Chinese ebay) for about 25 USD. I got myself one about a week ago and am working at the moment with the bluez-ime developer to get it working on Android. It works so far with FPse, which you can see on the crappy video that I just took. Maybe I should start exporting these controllers ;-)

Does a BlueTooth gamepad work with the HTC Desire ?
What are good models of gamepad's to buy ?
If any gamepad ever gets emulated it will be the SIXAXIS/DUALSHOCK 3 used for the PS3 so get that. As of yet no bluetooth gamepads are supported on Android (It has been done a long time ago on the Nokia N900 though )
We live in hope. I was playing with Snesoid today, such a lot of fun.
The controllers are under GBP 50 from Amazon.
GamePro in market works with 2 specific controllers. I have not tried it.
A bit late with a reply, but the Wiimote seems to be compatible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672884
Its for the Nexus One, haven't tried it out myself, but it should work on the Desire.
i think we have a better chance at others to be able to use a ps3 controller with our device since the ps3 controller pairs and shares it's pin via usb. which we happen to have!
i don't know much about this stuff but i was googling to see if anyone has paired on yet and it's only been done on a windows mobile phone so far. but seems possible from my broad perspective. anyone more knowledgable ?
If i had a PS3 controller, i would work on it and write an app if necessary. Just got this tablet yesterday and tossed CM6.1b4 on it.
Thanks!

Interesting thoughts.
I think most will depend on the bluetooth and bt software.
I recall some android phones with bluetooth cannot pair with a Wiimote where others do so easily.
The only "problem" would be that you would need to place the tablet on some sort of a desktop so you can have both hands on the controller. Putting the tablet on your lap also works but it gets uncomfortable really quickly.
On a side note, how does this thing handle the psx emulator?
It actually handes psx4droid very well. I was quite impressed. I just flashed TnT Lite last night, and have not tested it yet.
I was very easily using a Wiimote to play Legend of Dragoon on it. Very few stutters, but i did not make any setting adjustments yet. a PS3 controller makes more sense, but I'm unsure if the "Wiimote Controller" app will do anything for us with a PS3 controller (again, I don't own one, so can't test).
Thanks!

Two things:
1. How did you get Wiimote to work? TnT 2.0 does not even see the device... maybe an issue with new firmware? Not aware of anybody having luck with 2.0.
2. If you think PSX4droid works ok, you will go nuts if you install 1.5 or 1.6- both are twice as fast for 3D games than 1.7 on the Gtablet.
Most 3D games plays smooth. Catch is the sound aint' the best.
To use wiimote with the tnt you have to change,one of the all's.. or install cm6.1 or zpad
ive been searching the net for the possibility of connecting the ps3 controller to any android device and specifically for my gtablet when i ran across this thread. if anyone could get a ps3 controller to pair and work for our gtablet, id be ever grateful. for some reason, the virtual keyboard on psx4droid just doesnt cut it for me. anyone ran across anything promising lately?
I hav also been looking for the ps3 controller to work on my gTab maybe some can hac the old PS1 controller the same way the SNES controller was hacked...thoughts?
Id be interested in getting this thread going again, a ps3 app would be baller on the g tablet!
hi all, i was just thinking, recently i got a dinovo mini bluetooth keyboard and intend to use it with my captivate...
thing is, if we can use a normal hid profile keyboard with the captivate (and its special bluetooth stack), shouldn't a common pc bluetooth gamepad also be able to connect? or HID profile is not enough? ps3 and wii controllers dont work because they don't connect with just hid...
am i wrong? i dont own any bluetooth gamepad but i would like to know if it could be possible
thanks in advance
peace
Good question ill be following this thread.

Just installed CM7, and tried the Wii Controller IME.
IT WORKED! I haven't gotten it to work with any of the emulators (NESoid, SNESoid, psx4droid), but this is an encouraging first step!
yeah, thing is CM7 is not "pure" captivate, i understand the benefits of that rom, but for now i dont intend to flash it, sticking with cognition for now...
so... CM7 uses a different bluetooth stack apparently (bluez?) with better compatibility, but what i wanted was a simple pc gamepad that uses HID... BUT it doens't exist lol...
i started to google around and in fact there is almost no pc bluetooth gamepad, most wireless ones are RF and the only one i found was a weird thing that MSI released...
so... back to ps3/wiimotes/etc....
or to wait for the bluetooth gamegripper
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse works on my captivate using stock stack. Don't know what profiles were in use though.

I got a zeemote off ebay, and after downloading the bluezIME off the android market got it to work with all my emulators! Has anybody bought and tried this icontrolpad??? The Zeemote is just too small for my hands its difficult for me to play games with, so im still looking for a good controller.
As I am still on the hunt for a good bluetooth controller for my cappy, I got a second zeemote for some multiplayer action on my emulators! I am not getting the BluezIME to connect to more than one zeemote at the same time? does anybody know if there is a way to sync both zeemotes? or possibly install BluezIME twice for each controller?

Can anyone test to see if this works on the G2x? I would like to know as I would like to be able to use other controllers besides touch screen.
I would test myself but I don't currently have this phone but thinking on getting it.

Downloading it now.
Emulators + HDMI mirroring is one of the big reasons I got this phone.
Well, we know the O2x doesn't support it. I wouldnt be surprised if the bluetooth stack is similarly boned on the G2x, despite stock android.
Even if the G2x doesnt support it out of the box, there may be hope that cyanogen will support it in the future.

Nope just tested. Says it can't find Bluetooth and to make sure it is enabled... which it is.
First drivers needed to access the SD card, then no WiiMote.... damn...

Thank you for taking the time to test it though sad to hear it doesn't support it.
yeah those two issues are quite disappointing. maybe cyanogen can fix them :S
i'm thinking i will just stick with my n1 for now
I'd like to add the JS1 Zeemote also is not working. I had it working on N1. The Bluetooth connects but when I exit bluetooth settings it disconnects. I'm also using Bluezime so android can detect Bluetooth controller

Doesn't work for me either. This is highly upsetting to say the least. One of the biggest things I wanted to do with this phone was play Super Mario World hacks through HDMI with a wiimote. Oh well, phone is still a keeper easy. Hope it gets fixed.
Hey did anyone ever get a PS3 controller working with the N1?
zeemote works fine for me.
but i also can't connect to a wiimote.
where can u buy the Zeemote for g2x ?
the only one i can find is for the Nokia
so the prices are all over the place
can u tell me where u bought one and what the price was ?
amazon

i got the amazon one.
the nokia version works fine if you have bluez ime
the only thing i think is tied to a specific OS is the included games coupon, but it's expired anyway.

You have the Js1 working on G2x, if so how? I can connect Bluetooth fine but when I exit Bluetooth settings it disconnects automatically

Awesome the 10 dollar one
Next question
does anyone know if the Wii remote problem is a hardware or software issue ?
because if it is software (Drivers) now that LG released all the source codes for this device, to should be easy for a developer to fix.
assuming we get any other developers then that CM7 dude to buy this phone
BUT CM7 and zeemote might be enough
it's because several phones(mostly touchwiz/sense phones, and LG phones) use non-standard bluetooth drivers.
replacing those with standard ones would fix it, but it's not as easy as switching a few files.

I can't find a $10 Zeemote on Amazon. How did you find it? I can only find a $10 article about the Zeemote from Tele-Service News. I sure hope you didn't accidentally buy that.
amazon uk has one for that price, but i don't know if they ship to the US(for a reasonable price)
How would you use this for a emulator their is only like 3 buttons on it
Hi all, I was just wondering whether Sense 3.0 supports connecting Wii Remotes through apps like WiimoteController? I know Sense 2.x had issues (only got it to work on my Desire through CyanogenMod), but realised that it would be useful to use alongside the MHL adapter I'm planning on ordering...
I will be finding this out soon because I already ordered the phone! lol
Doesn't work. Search in the this or the General forum, someone else tried it.
well thats just dandy! wtf is htc sense and/or wiimote app thinking? lets get this working! who doesnt want to play mario on their new sensation? I mean seriously!
Has something to do with the bt stack
Sent from my HTC Sensation
I haven't got a wii, so I couldn't try a wiimote.
but I could connect my MSI BGP100 bluetooth gamepad easily to my Sensation using bluez IME (but bluez ime doens't support wiimote, just zeemote and others)
I thought if the wiimote didn't work, my MSI wouldn't, and reciprocally, but that's not the case.
It works!
