I thought you guys might want to know about this: I went to Best Buy yesterday to get a Wiimote for my G2x and came across this much smaller controller:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/POWER+A+-+ProPack+Mini+Remote+and+Mini+Chuk+for+Nintendo+Wii/1168433.p?id=1218228673832&skuId=1168433
It's the length of the phone, it's light, and you can put it in your pocket. It doesn't work with the Wiimote Controller APP in either Froyo or CM7, but it does work fine with Bluez IME in CM7. I haven't tried the nunchuk attachment as I'm just using it to play SNES and MAME games.
So how is that Power A Wii remote working out for you? I see mixed reviews for use on the Wii with sync issues and lag, but if it work fine on an android phone, i may think about trying since its nice and small.
I use my PS3 controller. Works like a charm on the fitsnugly CM7 kang.
Yeah but that a lot bigger and more expensive, plus i was really only thinking of using it for basic NES GBA and Genesis emulation for now.

Holy molly.
I didn't think this was possible at all. Does anyone has a bluetooth mouse that they can try on a 2.2.1. firmware? I don't know why anyone would want to use a mouse on a phone, but hell, it's just so damn cool.
P.S. How on earth do you embed youtube videos?
yeah, its really cool. I did it too and a BT keyboard is working too, btw.
My god guys r crazy...but cool

I'm running the stock Bell rom and my Dell mini BT mouse that I got on sale for $15 before xmas and my old Stowaway keyboard work almost mint, I say almost because a few of the windows mobile shortcut buttons don't work but it's over 90% functional.

yep got it working aswell i am using a Targus mini laptop mouse and works absolutely beautifully
only bluetooth mouse and keyboard i have is my partners Apple ones, but will try them when i get in whoop
WTF ?
I take it none of you have seen this dusty old thread then
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799079
Thanks for posting the link to my video, but as someone has pointed out there is a rather long thread about this already!
Main reason to use a mouse with the phone is when then phone is plugged into a TV, either for gaming or when in the browser. Some games like Castle Warriors are much nicer with a mouse.
Can I bluetooth a 360 or PS3 controller to play N64 roms?
The games run PERFECT on it, but the touch controls suck!
try an icontrolpad. Works a treat. D pad, shoulder buttons and 2 analogue nubs. Works with all the emu's.
Maybe this iControlPad is good, but still too expensive! 70$!??!?! Maybe have someone else bought a bluetooth gamepad thats working too?
The PS3 controller will work via USB but not Bluetooth. Believe it or not the 360 controller isn't Bluetooth, Microsoft use their own proprietary wireless tech, but if you buy one of the wireless dongles for connection one to a PC it should work fine but thats second hand knowledge. I am yet to try it myself.
Personally I just use my PS3 controller
I don't have dock for my Transformer, so have you all any idea how to use a controller?

There's talk that asus will release USB adapter that will plug into the port that the dock uses. I have not seen these for sale as of yet.
Another option, is you can use a wiimote with the classic controller attached to it. Works with bluetooth. Just search the market for wiimote.
Does anyone else think there's enough threads about controllers that there should just be a sticky on high?

Thats what i used to use but you can get a classic pro controller for about $20 plugs in like a nunchuck and it works even better it has d-pad shoulder buttons two analog sticks and the usual controls.
All you have to do to get it to work is download the wii controler app from market and enable custom ime in n64oid then map you contros and your good to go ive used it on star fox super mario pod racers fighters destiny bangoo kazooi and one of the race games

I find that N64 games, especially the games that are N64 exclusives, don't really work as well with a classic controller. The N64 had such a weird button setup. I use my classic controller for PSX, SNES, and GBA games
I was wondering if there is a cheap controller/gamepad that you can use on your Optimus One? Or if there is an app I can get to let me use my Xbox controller, or iPod Touch as a controller. I find the virtual gamepad unusable for most games. I just want a cheap way to have a alternate gamepad. Any suggestions? Btw im using the Oxygen Rom. Thanks

Get a bluetooth mini keyboard and just configure the buttons. Thats what I did and it works great

I'm using the Wiimote Controller with CM7 based rom. It needs to be on nonstock rom based since there is something wrong with the bluetooth of stock roms. It works very well with the wiimote and also with the classic controller if you need more buttons.
The 6 axis controller compatibility checker says that it would work for the phone too but I havent tested it yet.
Thanks for the reply man. I actually just ordered a wiimote on ebay yesterday because I can use it on my ipod emulators. Its great now that i know it will work on my phone too! One question, I am on the Oxygen rom. Would bluetooth work on this or should I get CM7?

I can also recommend to have a look at Phonejoy (www.phonejoy.us), works with more than a hundred games and doesn't require root. So definitely worth checking out!
I have a big question, is it possible to manipulate touchscreen gestures with ie. a Wiimote or Sixaxis?? just like if they were a cordless mouse??
so for instance i could play GlowHockey with them???

He's talking about Bluetooth keyboards like this :
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-b...ia-symbian-s60-cellphones-black-37863?item=52
It works well with CM7 based ROMs. And if the game you are playing is compatible with hardware keys, it will work well for you.
I have the same keyboard on the link, worked for me, but its form factor made it uncomfortable to use for long periods of time.
I shifted to Wiimote + Classic controller for playing old school games.
i dont now for moment !
later information you :B
Ok I imagine it would be fun to go to a friends house and hook up your 5$ Micro HDMI cable from your phone to their TV and start playing some strange video... but besides that, what would be the most impressive? I'm thinking running some video console emulator would be the best trick, if friends with androids could get a bluetooth controller app off market and could play VS.? Is this even possible?:fingers-crossed:
Yes, it is possible. You can use a wii remote, PS3 controller, or USB keyboard as a controller for the games.

theres an app called sixaxis controller that should allow you to pair a PS3 controller thru bluetooth
i also found this which looks kinda kool, i didnt read it to see if it has specific requirments, just looked cool as hell and caught my eye lol
http://www.gizmag.com/gameklip-android-ps3-games/23592/
Also there are some emulators that have built in controller support so all you have to do is pair it with the phone and map the buttons. But for the sixaxis controller app you need to be rooted for the controller to work. Rooting will also give you the option to overclock the processor so some of the more graphics heavy games will run smoother.

That is pretty sick! At first I though it was for the Keyboard function of a smartphone but actually the screen for the game! Though I'd like to see that mount different...In the gaming sense for VS games Tribes Ascend?!!Wonder if they'' have a android app prolly not .... It is better and does not require the TV...In the mean time I came up with using the TV connected to the triumph for a mobile security detail using tinycam monitor installed on the Triumph connected via HDMI to TV and SeCuret spycam Livestream (vs ip cam it has the benefit of detect motion @upload to dropbox as well... Feeding video is all IP camera does

All it does is use Bluetooth to connect to the phone, so yeah, it works well with the GS4 and with CM.
want that
I really want one of the higher end mpga controllers. I currently ise a ps3 controller and the sixaxxis app, but native support would be so nice.
I've been using to new MOGA PRO and it works rather well. Bluetooth sync just fine and ive gotten pretty obsessed with playing need for speed lol. Makes things much easier

Wonder if it's any good for playing minecraft pocket edition
I got a moga pocket, and it works with my s4 on cyanogen, I had to install the moga universal driver from play store for some emulators, but works like a charm.
Just got the Pro for myself. I'm on stock 4.3 and it works great. Been playing modern combat 4 and it's great. Feels like I'm playing cod just a slight lag. Also works great for emulators as it has a A and B setting for the controller. Havent had any issues controller battery last quite long.

Got the MOGA Hero Power (charges your phone while playing) and loving it. It works really well and feels great. Playing the old school Super Mario.
