My wife has ordered me a Slider for Christmas, and I was wondering if it is possible to play any games using the keyboard. I'm looking forward to trying out some FPS's and would rather use the keys like a PC than use the touch screen.
Thanks,
I've played snes and gba on my transformers keyboard dock. So you should be fine on your slider

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

yup works mint
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.

I take it none of you have seen this dusty old thread then

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?

I use a wiimote and nunchuck for N64 games.

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 love Google TV, but hate having the big keyboard in my lap all the time. The phone app is good but we be GREAT if it was in landscape. I know the best devs are here so I am challenging someone to try to make this. Maybe even with some nice teeming too semi transparent or ics theme.

It's on the Market, but I'm not sure it's quite what you're hoping it is.
Mainly, it's just a remote control for your existing set-top box (Logitech Revue) or Sony smart TV with Google TV integrated.
But I am looking for the app to be in landscape mode

Ok well, I'm very happy with N64oid. I bought it from the SlideMe app store.
but does anyone know if there's away to calibrate the accelerometer? the control pad function is only at the neutral position for me when my phone is flat, i.e., parallel to the ground.
not all games are conducive to using the accelerometer for control, but some are, like starfox. but its not very usable to me if it can't be calibrated....
Don't use those controls Xo Its so whacked up. I use Sixaxis, or my Wiimote.

Using a nonsense rom? Bluetooth controllers won't work with sense-based roms
I'm using the touchscreen controls with Ocarina of Time with no problems whatsoever.
I think the infinity's natural affinity p) with a compatible hardware dock gives it immense potential, not just for work but for gaming as well. Has anyone found any way to use the keyboard for games, much like on a laptop or pc? I tried it out on gta3 since it was supposed to be a direct pc port but only the arrow keys worked, not wasd keys. Anyone has any idea how to utilize the keyboard hardware for gaming? I believe gingerbread was the first to bring native support for hardware controllers and the such, so I think it's definitely possible.

Yeah, this would be awesome. Being able to use a mouse and keyboard while playing shooters (online) will give a ridiculous advantage, so perhaps it is for the best that it does not seem to be possible. For single player it should be available though, I guess.
I do not know if it is possible but I would also like to know if I can use my mouse and keyboard while playing, would be sick!
