I have a SGS i9000 Froyo 2.2.1 and have an emulator(NESoid) with some games on it, but playing with the on screen controllers is a pain, so i started searching for bluetooth controllers, and I found this neat lil controller, a bluetooth imitation ps3 controller, the ones who are exact imitations of the real deal for 15 bucks on ebay. Now i have heard a big deal of negative reviews on these, but my questipon is hardly related to the actual product but for generic bluetooth controllers. Does my phone support them? Will a PC bluetooth controller work fine with the emulator NESoid?

I honestly have never tried it but it should defiantly work, I'd give it a go!
The best way is if some store near you have it in stock.
Just go down there and try if it work, you know you don't have to by it just
because you try it. If it works then just order it on the Net
Well, i just went ahead and used the on screen controls till I actually got used to them. Of course some games are just impossible, i.e. Super Mario Bros. and most platformers, but well there are other games. Im pretty sure now that the generic bluetooth controllers work though. Thanks for your responses.

DIY
The wiimote is really the most painless option. Only trouble is that the handset and the controller are seperate. Thats easily fixed with some bolts (see frankenmote.jpg) and a pice of Acrillic with some rubber bands /see wiimote_n1.png).
I recommend a Drill press for drilling through the Wiimote. That way the holes go nice and straight through.
I guess in a pinch one could use nails or maybe some long woodscrews instead of bolts.

The nunchucks are now compatible too, it looks so beautifully in Super Mario Advance.
I just prop the phone against something and I get in a comfortable position. Then it's game on! I was very surprised at how responsive and reliable it is.
Would this work for other phones? X10?

My god I totally forgot about the Wii Classic control, this would be so much better then the regular Wii controller IMO!
Wii Classic Controller is the BOMB
I use this program with my nexus one and a Nyko Wiimote, and a classic controller pro. It is the best damn set up I have ever gamed with. The only controller I could see doing a better job is the dualshock 2.
So to sum up;
Off Brand WiiMotes do work (used at GS w/EDGE card is cheap)
Classic controllers are the most nostalgic and perfect way to play your old SNES games. Can't wait for Joystick control, and maybe some PS emulation!
Hi, I'm the developer of the WiimoteController.
Read the first 3 posts in my thread. You'll learn alot about what is supported and where.
My main goal here is to have 2-4 dual shock style controllers to use with FPSE and the yongzh nesoid,snesoid and the other "oid" emulators to play wirelessly and via HDMI out
I currently have the Datel Wii retro classic which is nice because bluetooth is built in and it works with the Wiimote controller APP for the other emulators,however its not supported in FPSE and finding a 2nd controller is difficult.
the MSI BGP100 doesnt have analog controls and Zeemote doesn't seem ideal for PlayStation emulation.
Icontrolpad seems really nice. but not for over $100 shipped to the US for just 1. and it doesn't seem like its ideal for playing on a TV and much to expensive for additional controllers
PS3 bluetooth support would be the most ideal but it hasn't seem to have happened on android yet. though it has for linux and windows and i believe windows mobile. there once was someone working on this but i cant find the thread. does anyone know what happened or what we can do to help this along?
the final option is USB hosting gamepad support. Ive seen this working with a PS3 dual shock controller on a zoom and other tablets so it seems reasonable that it could work on the G2X.
has anyone got gamepad USB hosting working with CM7? it would be great if you could use a USB hub and connect 1-4 controllers for PS1 and games like mario cart ect
even better if USB support does indeed work you could have a USB hub and 2 wireless 2.4 controllers for a portable game console...though still not as ideal as PS3 bluetooth
If the 2x supports the HID bluetooth profile, then the Phonejoy will work - heres my demo with the HTC Sensation (forward to 3:30):
More info here including stuff on the new Phonejoy version with analog sticks!
PhoneJoy will work, Im still waiting for the first version of the analog sticks to become available. Not as Ideal as a legit BlueTooth PS3 but the next best thing
The dual stick version is worth waiting for, I have one (proto sent for review), there is an SGSII demo video in the link I provided beneath that youtube video.
I saw the vid of the analog pads and they look pretty good. The analog sticks arent as accurate as I would like.In golden Eye for N64 it looked hard to get an accurate shot.Im definitely in for 2 analog pads when they are ready But Ill probably eventually go with the PS3 via bluetooth if that ever gets working

That's because the emulator isn't coded to accept a true analog signal from the gamepad, although the makers of the Phonejoy say that it is capable of that. Its particularly noticeable in Goldeneye because that game relies heavily on the pressure sensitive N64 analog stick for aiming.
I guess that even if the PS3 does work at some point, the emulator would still need to be coded to work with full analog input from the sticks.

even better news!
I was wondering what is the best gamepad for android out there?
I understand that the Wiimote is supported, but I do not want to buy a wii mote then a classic controller, just seems like a hassle to carry around.
Datel Retro Wireless controller seems like the perfect solution, but for some reason the product is discontinued and no one is selling it. I have tried amazon, ebay, newegg, tigerdirect, and even the company website and none seem to have it left in stock.
So I was wondering, what gamepads are out there that work with android?
edit:: looked at nyoko's wing which still needs you to have a wiimote, as well as bgp100 which looks like the best option so far, perhaps if its modded might be a worth while replacement.
I'd love to know this too!
I found an interesting mod that turns an snes into a wireless controller. The only problem is it also has a receiver and I am unsure if it works with android.
Google ppl-pilot Snes hack since I can't post links yet.
I wonder if the receiver is needed in the case of android.
If your phone is rooted, it's really easy to use the sixaxis app in the market to connect a PS3 controller to the phone using bluetooth.
Problem is, this phone has to be connected with sixaxis's "method 2" which means you can't also use another bluetooth device at the same time. Most wouldn't need to, but if you use bluetooth headphones this is a factor...you'll get audio from the emulator and music just fine, but you'll need to connect your headphones through the headphone jack instead.
Anyways, the other problem is you need to set your phone down in order to use the controller.
Enter the gameklip! Yeah I'm totally giving them a free plug, and it's not exactly new, but the current version of it is new, and since it's been improved a little and not mentioned here, I figured I'd make a post.
Just got mine in the mail today, works like a charm, even with my phone that is *NOT* rooted. Since my phone is not currently rooted I bought the wired version (same klip, just that it also includes the appropriate cable to connect the phone to a ps3 controller, it's basically a USB to go cable with the end being the 5pin mini instead of what other USB to go cables are.
It's worth noting the actual klip itself is identical from wireless to wired versions.
Since there is not a klip specifically for our phone (and I wouldn't think it would be likely for there to be one in the future, we buy the case mount version...basically the klip attaches to a case with that 3m adhesive. Sturdy enough, but don't use it as a weapon or anything!
Anyways, it works great in Snesoid and Nesoid without any rooting, and with *NO* other software requirement. All you have to do is go into the key settings for Snesoid, select the appropriate button you want to change, and press the button you want to do the action on your controller. All buttons works, and yes, even the analog sticks will.
Works great! It's a bit large to carry around since it's the size of a PS3 controller + a phone case on top of it, but I plan to just leave it at my desk at work as that's the only place I'd use it.
Anyways, if you sometimes get the craving for some old style games and don't want to spend all the cash for a PSP or something, I can say this works wonderfully. I am especially impressed with how durable the cable seems and the robustness of the packaging.
The one thing I will say is I'd really recommend getting a TPU style case....most of the hard plastic ones are too difficult to remove the phone from the case, and I'd be willing to bet the softer silicone style cases might be adhesive resistant.

They even take paypal, which I find amusing
I've been playing a lot of the bigger games recently and I really need an actual controller for my Nexus 7 before i can really get into mobile gaming. I'm wondering if i should go for an expensive Moga controller and pay about 70 euro for a controller that i know will work and will function great, or should i pay about 2-5 euro to try out some of the PS3 controller drivers on the Play store right now. I'd prefer a Ps3 controller as i'm way more accustomed to them, but Moga looks like it is THE controller for android and mobile devices, so i'm kinda wondering should i spend a lot of money for something i know will work, or a little bit of money for something that may not work too well?
I want to hear about people with previous experiences with Moga or Play store controller drivers.
