Ok I have way too much time on my hands...
I was playing Need For Speed Shift and had a thought. What if there was some sort of steering wheel controller, that you could mount your smartphone to, for driving games?
This is what I came up with:
I took a $1.99 USD Nintendo Wii steering wheel controller, made some cuts, inserted some foam and attached a mesh back case with some super glue.
What do you think?
I've been using it for 2 days now and it actually works great. It's also convenient for texting and playing other games.
Nice work . Keep it up.
LOL 10 points for thinking outside the box. But doesn't it make it kind of hard to push the other buttons on the screen some of these games have? or do you have real long thumbs
it looks funny. do you even use it any more?
I have large hands but its not a stretch at all. My fiance uses it and even with her small hands reaching the screen is no effort.

What's even funnier is when I'm playing a game and the phone rings. It's a bit awkward when the neighbors see me talking to a steering wheel.

Generally I hate most of the "tilt-to-control" games but this looks so awesome I'm tempted to do this myself.
Wouldn't it be better if the screen of the device would be flush with the exterior of the steering wheel? It looks like some actions that require more accuracy might be a bit hard..

That's exactly what my only issue is. Luckily I'm learning how to create silicone molds and the use of plastic resins. Hopefully the tax man will be good to me this year and I can bring all kinds of crazy ideas to life. For a small donation I'd be glad to play the mad scientist.

I have tried a few emulators but is it our touchscreen that limits the use of using y and a buttons at the same time? If so do they make a controller that connects to our phones (not ps3)
Not sure but I would imagine any Bluetooth controller would work to some degree.

yeah I could do the ps3 controller thing but dont want to drag that out in the middle of a hallway just to kill some time playing mario bros3. I just thought someone knew of a game pad that connects to it or something.
Oh well, thanks

If you have the cash, you could get the iControlPad. Or the upcoming Gametel looks promising.
Apparently the wii remote will connect to the g2x according to some forum posts I just came across. One person mentioned http://www.bestbuy.com/site/POWER+A+-+ProPack+Mini+Remote+and+Mini+Chuk+for+Nintendo+Wi i/1168433.p?id=1218228673832&skuId=1168433

Resurrecting this thread instead of starting a new one.
I'm looking for one as well, but for a different reason, I've tried SNES A.D. and SNESoid but neither allow me to configure the cheats (What, I've beat all the games I'm interested in on the console as a kid, I have a right to cheat. ) the settings state that I can add cheats but the actual option it references isn't there. So, I'm looking for one which is free and allows usage of cheats.
Thats weird snesAD cheats work for me before ill reinstall it later today and let you know
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Bear in min I'm using the "lite" version, perhaps it's intentional that I can't. I assume, by the message I get at the cheat selection menu that to insert a cheat the insertion option is there right after I hit the hot key (can't think of the proper name of it atm)
SnesAD is free... So its working for me...
Menu in SnesAD> More>Cheats>Menu again button again> +new cheat((appears at the bottom when you hit menu button at the cheat screen)

Looking to upgrade my video card so I can get on that d3
I was thinking about getting D3 any cons to it?
Way different than the previous two, lots of reports of people being hacked by random users spoofing session ids in public games, you can't select your stats/skills its automatically assigned when you level, there's already many users level 60 due to exploiting stuff overlooked by blizzard, one armor even acted as an impassable wall when dropped on the ground, already bots and other various hacks typical in Diablo.. That being said many people still love it and say people like me have a biased opinion on it comparing it to D2 but worrying over being hacked in a new game is my main concern so I've been soloing the game the entire time and Diablo has always been more of a group grinding game I felt
Sent from my LG-P999
Yeah I was a little concerned with the changes... but after playing it for a while its all good! Haven't been hacked yet..its good ol fashion looting and leveling. As far ad hackers/cheaters/bots Diablo 2 and just about any game out there has them. I can see why the made the changes like time lapse between potion use and certain attacks...to me it adds a bit of difficulty and strategy. Get one of those trial passes if your on the fence before full purchase
Playing max 3, my son and i. My notebook is ati and his is nvidia, both switchable grafics. His works fine since the game was built on it, BUT MINE ..... oh my. I had to create a commandline.txt file to get the stupid game to see my high perf gafics card anmd it still only detects half the vram, AND also can not detect some of the settings, cant change settings in game so no shadows and some other stuff.....
the creators are morons !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When will people learn that ANY developer making anything on Android is a pain in the ass for them. Yes iOS gets more updates but that's because they are developing for a very small number of phones. Anyone got a count of the total number of Android phones, me thinks it might be a f'in lot!
1.8 GB? Is it really that great?

Yeah...bought and refunded...Didn't seem worth the $0.25 for the size and gameplay.
I got stuck with the purchase, didn't play it with enough time to see how not worth the 25cents it was.
Maybe when playing it on a tablet it'll be better. But it feels so cluttered too Mich on screen, camera right behind batman.

More than worth it!
Excellent graphics, sound, voice acting and controls. High resolution textures take up a lot of space but definitely worth it. Would like to see more variety in combat. $0.25 is a must buy, even to just show off the graphics.
Use the six axis app and create a touch profile. I use it for almost all my games on my galaxy tab.

Yeah so... I might be the only person here who's looking forward to this game. There's no official release date available yet, but Gameloft has announced that it will be available 'later this year' and will be on both iOS and Android.
From what I can tell it looks to be a city builder type game. Playing mini games to earn points, then using those points to buy houses, ponies, items...so on and so forth.
So my questions to you all is: Are you excited for this game? Do you think It'll satisfy My Little Pony fans? Will you be buying this? & If so how much are you willing to pay?
I personally think I will be a good game if they do 2 simple things. Listen to what the fans have to say, and have it reflect future episodes, meaning if new ponies make their appearance in season 3, I think Gameloft should add them into the game and to do as much as possible to have the game reflect the TV show. If they keep the updates coming this game should have some lasting appeal & replay value.
Check out the iPad game play demo and let me know what you think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlBInHiJ-74
As a fellow brony, this excites me. /)
Like you said, as long as Gameloft listens to what the fans have to say. And of course new ponies and cannon names and the whatnot. And I hope that they include some of the maybe not so well known background ponies. Such as Lyra, Bon Bon, and Dr. Whooves, etc.. I'd probably pay anywhere between 5 and 10 dollars. Depending on how much content is actually in the game.
Possibly....even if I stopped watching it after season 2 episode 1....I still read the fanfics though lol.

They could make great use of the Xperia Plays touch pads on this game, instead of touch swiping the screen to navigate you could just use the touch pads. And the mini games could make great use of the D-pad. The game has huge potential hopefully they put effort into this instead of just selling the name and making a quick buck.

The only 'major' issue I've come across is the inability to connect to Gameloft & stay connected.
It's a flaw in the game, I expect this to be fixed pretty soon considering most challenges have to do with connecting to gameloft and interacting with other ponies.
All in all a pretty good game tho, I've played it more than Halo 4 so far...

things get sort of expensive later down the road, but they don't force it on you. I'm level 23 and I haven't spent a dollar yet. As long as you manage your in game money you should be fine.

Not really, after you hit level 20 everything you need is pretty much there. I currently have 35,000+ bits right now and that number increases every 3 minutes or so. I've also done all the available 'challenges' for the time being (besides the GL ones obviously)
So yeah hopefully we'll see an update soon...
Just thought. I'd mention this for the shmup fans out there but Dondonpachi, espaluga and Deathsmiles are all on sale. I know they're not play specific but good games nonetheless.

I think you are a bit messed up there...
Sine Mora is a horizontal shooter, and it's already out, and it runs like ****.
It has 3 graphics options, low-high, but runs really badly.
On PC/PS3/Vita, it is 60fps, and lush, but on Android, it's sub 20fps, motion is crap, controls are on screen, you need a magnifying glass to read the text on the Play, and it's letterboxed to death, nowhere near what it should be.

It's still poor on a tablet, it's letterboxed anyway, and the controls are right under the play area,with silly little buttons, and the fluidity of it is gone.
Like i say, the "real" versions are 60fps with super high detail, smooth as silk, this is just a sloppy port.
If you have a Vita, that would be the portable version to go for.
Hahaha and I just sold my XP last week! Oh well, will buy them anyways. These games are the first thing I'm playing on my next Android phone. In the meantime, I'll spoil myself playing the PS3 version of Ketsui.
