Wiimote

Now that some of you have gotten your hands on this device, could you try the wiimote app to test if it works? I know other htc devices haven't been able to connect, but with the new sense, I'm curious to see if it works. Thanks!

I am desperate to know this. I have seen people playing mario 64 with a wiimote and have yearned for that since. But dont really want a motorola to do it. Its not a deal breaker, but it probably should be.

Positive I read someone said it won't work. But if I had a Wii I'd give it a try.

More than likely won't work. Have not seen a bluetooth 3.0 phone work yet. You can check in the g2x forum I think they got the zmote to work.

For somereason devices running sense or touchwiz have never been able to use wii controllers. On my g2x I can only use it if I'm running cm7 or another aosp based rom

According to HTC's bluetooth spec it should work. Sense 3.0 BT stack has support for the bluetooth serial port profile which is I think what the wiimote uses. Have to wait and see, but there is hope.

Anybody able to test this?

Tested - Does not work.......
Hi guys, I tested this using the Wiimote Controller app by CCP [email protected] and can confirm that it would not pair with my Wii Controller.
If anyone has tried any of the other apps I'd be keen to hear from you as I'd love to be able to play all my old NES and SNES titles on my emulator on my new Sensation......

Damn...

Power A Pro Pack Mini Bluetooth Controller

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.

[Q] Cheap bluetooth gamepad

Is there a cheap console-like bluetooth gamepad that works with Android (not necessarily this phone in particular, as I don't know if it supports HID yet.
Also, is there one with joysticks that can be mapped to emulators?
EDIT: http://www.clove.co.uk/phonejoy-analog-android-game-controller I'm looking for something like this minus the expensive price tag.

I saw a post on redmond pie that is drivers for using a ps3 controller. I don't think it is yet compatible. Our Bluetooth protocol isn't supported. I suppose a dev would be able to make the changes to make it work though

personally i would use it for Gameboy, sega etc emulators.

I posted that before those drivers were released. I have a PS3 controller, and I guess I just have to wait for AOSP now.

[Q] Cm7 and MHL

Has anyone had any success getting MHL hdmi adapter to work with cm7?

Not yet. I haven't flashed the ROM myself because of this reason. but I'm sure its gonna be fixed before the full release. I can't wait to hook up the ps3 remote for the emulators while using the mhl output. Hello n64oid!

Idk
I really like the hid support with the rom, but it's just not the same when you can't output hdmi. Hopefully someone else can confirm if it is working, because I can't seem to get it to work.

out of topic but related, does anyone feel its possible to get the USB host functionality working on the Sensation with CM7 or with any firmware?

I got my MHL/HDMI adapter cable in today. It's the real deal, the correct one for the Sensation but it won't output anything while i'm using CM7 Alpha 8. I like CM7 because they use the correct bluetooth drivers for the sixaxis controller app and emulators are great now. But no dice on outputting them or movies to the tv.

Fun stuff to do with a $5 HDMI Micro Hdmi to HDMI dat

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
