Gaming

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:

Please let me know if anyone finds a controller that works.

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?

Does it play emulators well?

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

[Q] mame emulator

i have a rare mame rom of tekken tag tournament(60mb) and i m wondering if i can play it in my hd2??? it would be really cool now that we r able to pair our sisaxis controller with our phone! i ve tried a few emulators but with no luck... is there anyone out there with a solution to my problem??

OTG and MHL Doubt.

So i have been buying games in the play store like crazy :laugh: I was wondering that how awesome it will be to connect my phone to my TV using the MHL cable (I know this part).
AND
Connect a wireless keyboard or Xbox 360 Joystick to the phone (I read that PS3 joystick works) and sit back and play.?
Is it possible to do the second part??:silly:

Well i use the mhl for movies and stuff, and also for a bit of work.
Also have nice rubber, rollable BT keyboard -- works pretty well.
Unfortunately Cynogen -- which gives u best google experience doesnt support mhl ATM. and some apps dont work -- PS touch for instance...

hmm so there is no way to get a wireless keyboard or the xbox joystick to work

I tried a usb gamepad from flipkart to use it with my galaxy note on gingerbread but it doesnt work. .......after the ICS update i tried it and seems working and now no need to buy expensive ps3 controller. ......I used to play games like shadow gun and riptide and many more

Although I prefer a ps3 controller because you can map the buttons to the touch screen. So it works for every game available

I imagine because your unable to map the controller to the touch screen it will work with a few select games that have native gamepad support
Although if you download USB/bt joystick centre you can map them I think

The only thing I don't like about mhl is the big performance hit the phone takes so if a game pushes your phone already and you connect via mhl then it becomes unplayable for me. But less demanding games and emulators work great.

Oh yes thats it.........i tried it with games like shadow gun and riptide....also the homescreen can be controlled. ....also there is list of games on xda about the games that support usb gamepad

Alright! ordering my OTG and MHL tomorrow. Lets see which one works.

Hi there......
If course, it's possible to connect the note with the mhl to a tv and connect a wireless keyboard over Bluetooth.....
I use the keyboard from keysonic 340 BT, that's great, have a mousepad, works great with the "external Keyboard Helper" app, there you can configure 3 complete keymappings to the whole keyboard and switch them how you want..... Also gamepad keys are available....
For gaming:
Most of the new games are supporting Gamepads already........
For ps3 Controller use the sixaxxis App, works for sure.....
But there ist also an app that is called bt/Usb joystick center, wich should connect all kind of wired and wireless pads to the Usb host or Bluetooth.......
I got the app but have no controller at the moment to test it.....
There's also an add on, called joy2touch, this should make it possible, to configure a keyboard, wired or wireless, to play games like on pc with mouse for view and keyboard control, that's what the dev promise, but sure I never test it...... If it works, it would be fantastic......
But the quality of the Mhl picture is fantastic.... At movies, you can watch them in real 1920 x 1080, more than the display can show.... Great.....
And also in games, there is enough resolution to play it on a great hd tv set.... A real mobile game console.......

Just got my MHL and OTG cable :laugh:.
And just realized that after connecting the MHL i wont be able to connect the OTG cable as we have only 1 port:silly::silly:.
So was looking at alternatives to play the games not and later buy some good joysticks. Few games are working with the standard keyboard,mouse but i have to map them.
Also came across this wireless joystick . Any idea if this will work with sixaxis or similar app to map the buttons?

Have you tested PS3 controller or Wii Controller connected to our O3D via bluetooth? Are you sure it's a success?
How? Afaik, our O3D stock ROM bluetooth stack protocol is lack of HID implementation and only cyanogenmod solve it.

I tested with the sixaxis dual shock 3 from my friend, worked perfectly and the buttons on snesdroid and tiger arcade works fine, but i dont remember the version of sixaxis, i did this test with the port of Xbasall!
see if any of your friends have controlle to lend and you can test it, are the only ways! have to see the version so sixaxis because some do not install, there is another control application which do not remember the name that only works on honeycomb!
ah, I tested a OTG cable, but lg3D does not have a kernel with support for it, the processor support this function, but dont exist kernel with this !
good luck !!

Nice to hear that.
