How does this device play emulators, particularly the SNES and N64 emulators? Can you use the wii bluetooth controller? I'm thinking of ordering the icontrollerpad too.
Thanks.
emulators work great. bluetooth doesnt work with all controllers. samsung got all fancy with bt3.0 and the process to pair to devices on the sgs. if this is like that it wont pair to a wiimote. maybe not to some other devices. there are some that do work but i couldnt tell you which

So yesterday I downloaded Nesoid and a handful of ROMs for my Captivate. I had some fun playing them, but using the on screen virtual keyboard was really hard and it covered most of the gaming action. So I see that the new psx4droid supports wiimote. So I emailed the developer of Nesoid and suggested that he add that capability to his too and that other than that its a great emulator. He emailed back and this is his response
You can use other apps on the Market. But please enable input method in Nesoid settings.

What does this actually mean? Is there another app that I have to download and install first to get the wiimote to connect to my phone via bluetooth?
I dont have a wiimote yet, and before I go buy one, I'd like to know exactly how it works, if it will.
Search for "Wiimote controller" on the market, should work.
You can use a few bluetooth gamepads with android. One being
MSI Bluetooth Gamepad (BGP-100) which is a weird kinda swivel thing. I am going to gut a SNES controller and put the BGP-100 into it. It has been done before and everything seems to fit fine.
There is also another bluetooth controller made for blackberry's that works with android. It is vertical gamepad with a trigger control. Seems pretty nice.
I think you have to buy a market app to get the drivers to make the above 2 gamepads work.
Also as mentioned you can use a wiiremote as a gamepad for android. I have been looking for a wii classic controller + wii combo, so it does not have to be tethered to a normal wii controller to work. I want small and portable bluetooth with a dfecent amount of buttons that is why I am going with the SNES form factor.

Free, although it does say there isn't galaxy s support....so it might not work.
wiimotes currently do not work on the SGS phones because of the bt3.0. not sure on the other BT controllers
Are there any controllers that can be plugged in? Just wondering for flights...
Well I emailed the developer of Wiimote Controller and asked if they could update to support Galaxy S phones. This is there response:
Hello,
thank you for your feedback.
I don't think this will be possible with the current way Samsung's software is handling bluetooth.
Best regards,
Piki

Doesnt sound good for us getting to use a wiimote as a gamepad
Trying to play Nesoid with onscreen vitrual controller sucks, its too hard and I'm afraid of breaking my phone. Every time I get into the game and start tapping A or B rapidly I can feel it flex and creak in my hands.
Just wondering in anybody has made progress on getting a bluetooth controller for the captivate/galaxy s?
Ive been looking into it...and came to a bunch of dead ends aswell :sigh:

Speaking of games...
I wasn't able to find any in the market but I'm rooted so I know I can find games from other sources.
Are there any games like Alone in the Dark (horror genre) or fantasy role playing that would have the same type of graphics you'd see in WoW that I can put on my Captivate?
Hello everybody!
Did the developers here could not develop a hack that lets you utilize (for bluetooth, as an example) for us to play in a SixAxis Motorola Defy?
Here on youtube I could find some adaptations of controls SNES, Wii and PS3, but not one to Defy.
Follow the links:
Snes - http://bit.ly/gI0gu0
Wii - http://bit.ly/ih1TGD
PS3 - http://bit.ly/dTWNlM
Now another idea. I do not know if it's possible, but there should be a way to connect a TV to Defy ... like what the iPhone does.
With these two hacks the MotoDefy would be much more interesting mainly for games.
Someone out there could do this?
I don't know about the ps3 controller, but you can use a wiimote with "WiimoteController" (free in market).
Well, this aplication is interesting, but i like the PS3 controll than Wii =)
Do you know someway to conect the Defy on tv??
If your TV has DLNA, it's done. If not, I think it's not possible (never heard about it).
But DNLA is just to DNLA devices...
May be is possible to develop a hack like PSP or IPhone?

Is there any progress on getting the PS3 Controller to work as a gamepad for emulators?
I bought two classic controller pros to use with my transformer. I found the free wiimote controller program does not recognize the classic controller pro. The paid app wii controller ime does recognize the controller but does not program the analog stick. Is there a solution that works? It's fine for nes and snes but the n64 emulators need an analog stick.
Do you have access to a regular classic controller, not a pro? I have used WiimoteController by ccp creations (but haven't tested on the most recent release), was successfully using my regular classic controller with my wiimote playing Mario 64. I can't imagine there'd be a major difference electronics wise between the standard and pro, I thought it was more a grip difference.
i'm having the same problem with the classic controllers that i bought from ebay last week - i can't get the keys mapped at all so am unsure if they work.
i think i have the non-pro controllers (they don't have the extra handles that rest on your palms ...)
any ideas ?
Not sure what your problem might be but i found out what my problem is. I have fake classic controller pros the front is very well faked but the back doesn't have the nintendo logo etched in. So CCP's program didn't recognize it. What pisses me off is the paid wiimote app DID recognize it. The problem is that one doesn't support the analog sticks. So i got screwed out of 25$ buying the controllers and 4$ buying a wiimote prog i didnt need.
I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think analog sticks are supported on any controller (wii, ps3, xbox) or via any program. Some of the wii controller programs emulate the anolog stick by generating fast, short d-pad inputs, but that's as far as the support goes.
Hi There,
I'm using the Sixaxis app to connect four PS3 controllers. I am using SuperGNES for SNES emulation.
Wondered if anyone had any success configuring and using four PS3 controllers (or Wii remotes) to play games like Super Bomberman or NHL 94?
If so how do you configure four controllers? I can only see options for two.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I can't help you.. but..
Wii-motes? :O Please give more info.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm using a Wifi Motorola Xoom, running ICS and attempting to use any SNES emulator in conjunction with four Playstation 3 controllers. The controllers themselves are easily recognized via Bluetooth by the SixAxis Controller app, but I cannot seem to find an emulator for Android that supports more than two of them.
While I was able to get four Nintendo Wii Wiimotes recognized and configured via Snes9x EX, I'd really prefer to get four Playstation 3 controllers working.
Just wondered if anyone had ever attempted this and found success.
Wait, I think I found your problem. IIRC, SNES had a max of 2 controller ports. Even PC emulators can't run in 3-4+ player mode.
N64 has 4 players.
But are you saying 4-players works fine with the wiimotes..?
Hey StickMan,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Actually the SNES released a peripheral called the "Multitap" which allowed four player gameplay with certain games. Among them was NHL 94.
I was actually successful in getting four players to work with an emulator called
Snes9x EX which allows you to "Enable Multitap".
I was then able to connect and configure four Wiimote controllers and play with four players.
Snes9x EX has native support for Wiimote controllers, but I could not seem to connect or configure PS3 controllers.
Would love to be able to get those working!

Can I use a bluetooth wimote or bluetooth playstation controller with the Note 10.1. I would like to play some old Nintendo games I used to play back in the day with the emulators. I read that you can use bluetooth controllers when playing games which I would prefer since the whole on screen controls don't appeal to me and I find it difficult. My question is do I need root in order to set this up or can I do it with stock on the 10.1. I heard of some sixaxis app or something but don't know if I need it. looking for some help since I'm sure others on this board know a lot more about this than I do. If anyone has any other advice for me...I'm all ears. Thanks

I'm not sure about the Wii mote, but the Sixaxis app is specific to playstation controllers I believe and requires root so i doubt it would work on the stock 10.1.

+1 for this query.
On the TF101, you just needed to connect a PS3 pad via the USB port and press some buttons to verify it worked. This in turn synced the controller. After this switching on the tablets blue tooth and pressing the PS logo on the PS3 controller would allow it to work via blue tooth. No root or sixaxis app needed. I'm guessing that won't work here?
What about purchasing the usb connector kit for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that supposedly works with the Note 10.1. Get the connection kit plug in the usb controller into the usb port on the connection kit and see if it allows it to synch with bluetooth like you listed above. I would love to know if this works.
If you want to play Nintendo games I suggest the NES.emu emulator from the play store. It will discover wii motes in app and you can use them to play. Works very well with no root.

PS3 Sixaxis controller needs root and the app. You can always use an xbox controller wired or wireless (with dongle via usb and app) more work though. Or connect a bluetoothe keyboard or wired keyboard.
As for emulators I recomend that you get droidemu lite and support the developer and get the full support as this emulator has all worthy emulators in it except n64 and ps1. He is very responsive to issues and fixed issues in a timely manner.
I just tested with mine and I was able to connect a Wii Remote using WiimoteController in less than 5 minutes. I tried it for a few minutes in GTA3, no problems so far.
Can confirm Sony PS3 wireless bluetooth controller works with SixAxis but requires root. Aside from the convenience of wireless controller it also extends the life of your port connector from wear and tear.
