The Touch Diamond dosn't have any enough buttons to make it a good game phone (emulators etc). But wouldn't it be posible to sync the wiimote with the phone? Syncing it with a PC is easy.
Just an idea. Would be a cool app that isn't entirely useless ^^
How would you sync it? With what hardware?
The Wiimote uses bluetooth. I think the guy that did the software for the pc made it open source, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult for someone that knows what they're doing.
In theory it's just to make a program that syncs the wiimote to the phone via bluetooth and then let you map different input to different buttons.
Oh, didn't know it used Bluetooth. That's pretty cool. Would it just be for buttons or some sort of cursor control?
Just for button presses.
You could connect a classic controller or to get a snes emulator playable with all buttons mapped.
Symian version is out already...
I got this working on my N95 8gb already and it is good. The N95 has TV out too and a decent graphic chip.....runs quake GL on my tv with Wii remote as controls very well.
I would LOVE this for my ameo!
Not sure if this is portable to winmo in any way.....
Wiiconnect
mc.fh-hagenberg.at
even the accelerometer works.
This is a worthy project........
if supported this would prob be easier to get to work

For my Ipaq I had a Zeta game controller. Does something like that exist for the Universal?
I'd like to be able to play games with a more useful controller than with the keyboard.
How long before someone writes a Wiimote driver?
You just need something which uses a Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) profile, really. I've played Scumm games (with ScummVM) using my SonyEricsson W550i as a controller. The W810i I've got now isn't so good for that as it doesn't have buttons at the top of the screen so you can't hold it sideways like a 'classic' paddle controller.
Yes, I was afraid of something like that. Bluetooth controllers cost a fortune, but I guess it's the only option.
Thanks
PS3
The PS3 controllers are bluetooth, I havent tried to connect them to my universal or computer though, anyone tried?
I found a reasonably cheap (20euro) BT game controller on Handit.de. It's the BGP Bluetooth GamePad.
Installation was a bit problematic at first. The HTC universal is not listed as a compatible device so I choose to install to T-Mobile Compact and that worked fine. Now it's just a matter to switch on the controller. Activate the driver on the PDA and it takes over the buttons that you programmed in (or the default set). Works pretty cool
It comes with 2 full games and some trials.
Hey, everyone,
We all know that it's been possible to use your DualShock 3 w/ rumble and motion support for some time now. But, I was wondering...what about for Windows Mobile? Are there any SIXAXIS/DualShock 3 drivers in the works. If not, anyone listenin', bluetooth and possibly miniUSB support is all that we need.
Second this... the BGP100 is a far cry from the PS3 controllers in terms of usability! Anyone care to have a crack at this?
Wii remote.....
Hey all,
A Chap manged to give us a way to use Wii remotes on S60 - V3 and V5 works perfectly......
I think the wii remotes are hell of a lot cheaper (less buttons)
Even though I have 2 Dual shocks....would rather see Wii remote!!
i would love to see some SIXAXIS Driver too.
That would be awesome!
I love this idea to play psx games on my htc leo .someone can add the sixasis drivers?

Wii remote would be awesome as many projects for pc exist and they shouldn't be to hard to port to PPC for some of the members we have here check out what is going on in these links :

Let's hope someone get's inspired
thanks guy but i prefer psx controller for play many games because this controller have some buttons. There is a project in developpement ?
yeah.. FPSeCE and DS3 plus HD2 would be a killer!!
FPSECE with HTC HD and Siaxis will be perfect !!!!
Help Genius Developers Help them !!!!
holy crap this would be HAWT
You aren't kidding! It doesn't seem as though it would be very difficult, either...
but it would be awesome, so much talent dev it pretty sure that many of them can do it...
great idea
If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.
true but the PS3 ALREADY is BT... someone just needs to port the drivers to PPC...
EDIT: additionally, after watching the video... the PS3 controller has a rechargeable battery (along with its crazy battery life), and all the buttons you would/will need for things like the PS1/2 emulator, GB/GBC/GBA/N64 emulators... (along with start/select), considering the BGP only has the Start button, no Select button, and only an R1 and L1 which is missing R2/L2...
I want drivers for sixaxis/ds3 too :0
. . bump . .
I got $5 to whoever develops a driver (and while a single person wont make a difference, im sure if everyone who wants to see support for the PS3 BT controller im sure it will add up)
::bump::
Yeah, we REALLY need this, 'cause those Android chumps've got the Wii Remote workin' on their OS. DualShock 3 drivers'd blow their egos back to the stone age.
would pay for that ...
So I was looking at Engadget today when I stumbled across this article. It says that someone got the N900 to play emulators with a PS3 Sixaxis controller. I have no idea about coding, I'm not a programmer. I do know that there are a bunch of talented people here at XDA and was wondering if someone would be willing to take up the challenge.
I know Android is capable of using Bluetooth in ways that weren't intended for phones (eg. The bluetooth keyboard hack), so I'm optimistic. I have a Saphire 32B, but I'm hoping this could be applied to all android phones that don't have physical keyboards. What say you XDA? Are you willing, and is it possible?
Bump. Just saw this too.
It certainly should be possible with Android.
Here is some more info on how they got it to work on the N900, involves some linux apps to pair the controller.
Maybe we can work together to crack this nut? Maybe move this topic into the more general Android Software Development thread.
Possible use cases:
1- Turn your Android into a PS3 controller (switch on PS3, menu navigation or even keyboard input)
2- Use a Bluetooth controller/keyboard on the Android (like with N900)

What I'm hoping will come out of this is number 2, as I don't own a console. As I said I'm not a coder, so this is way above my head. And it doesn't have to be a PS3 controller either. A Wii or a 360 controller would be fine, too. I just want to be able to play my NES games on my phone. (No multitouch really sucks).
still hoping and wishing for a Windows Mobile port...
Or an android port to the Touch Pro2 that has Bluetooth and Sound...

Why did you buy the Android phone then, if you're into WinMo

You misunderstood.
I didn't buy an Android phone.
There is a port of Android that runs on the Touch Pro2 but it does not have Bluetooth or TV Out. So I either need a way to connect a sixaxis to WinMo or a new port of Android for TP2 that supports TV Out and Bluetooth.
hard part is over
the sixaxis connects and sends data
now I just need to map out what to do when each button is pressed
currently works on windows mobile devices with a widcomm bt stack
I plan to make it work for the M$ stack as well but I'll have to borrow a phone with it from work cuz I don't have one any more
working on Touch Pro2 and HTC HD2 at the moment
I was so frickin happy when I finally got it to connect and send data
Nice to see progress on this. If this was on another forum it would see more activity.
Would be awesome. Especially on the mytouch. its only a matter of time

Any progress on the android Sixaxis/duelshock 3 app ??
I'm working on an Android/PS3 controller app. I have a method of changing the Bluetooth master address on the controller, but I haven't yet been able to get Android to see it. If I just knew what the controller was sending when you hit the PS3 button, I might be able to make Android listen for that.

Once the master address is set to your phone, pressing the PS button will cause the controller to send connection requests to your phone. Listen for devices, no authentication, with hid guid on psm 17 accept the connection request, then psm 19, accept that request, then write .... something can't remember... I have to go back to my code... to set the LEDs so they stop flashing and another code to tell the controller to start sending data. Once u r successful the controller constatntly sends packets of 50 bytes continuously describing the state of the controller, tilt, which buttons are down, up, etc so you just need to check for changes react accordingly. I'm handling verything on the L2CAP layer in WinMo. sending keydown and keyup events....

Hello everybody,
I like playing games on my phone a lot, yet i really don't like the touch screen controls, for lack of feedback and responsiveness, therefore i am in the market for an external controller.
I have simple requirements for it :
>Must use Bluetooth connection since my phone (OPPO find 5) does not support OTG
>Must be compatible with my windows 8 laptop
>Must be compatible with Android emulators like FPSe and NESoid emulators
>should have 2 analog sticks
>Should be easy to set up
What do you guys suggest?
Why don't you just use a PS3 controller in combination with sixaxis controller?
Odds are that you already have one, so you don't have to bother searching for one.
The only downside is that you cannot use the controller on your PS3 again, unless you restore the default bluetooth adress of the controller. So be sure to write it down somewhere before changing it.
No need to write anything down.ps3 controllers auto pair when u connect them via usb. ..

Hello!
A couple days ago I bought a Steelseries FREE Mobile Wireless Controller - it connects via bluetooth.
But when I first tried connecting to it, it was recognized as mouse, I guess - I could move cursor using left analog, one of the buttons was click, another was back, etc.
It was impossible to use it in any game. Fortunately, I have found an app called Bluez IME - it emulates pad buttons as keyboard buttons, and it works in some cases(like n64 emulator or gta3), but sometimes games just don't recognize it(eg. FPSE or Riptide GP2).
I think it's stock bluetooth service's fault, because on my phone it works fine(but obviously I didn't buy a gamepad to play on 3.5" screen ) but I can't be sure :/
Has anyone had this problem before on this tablet?
P.S. I'm running android 4.2.2 and I wrote a support ticket on Steelseries' website and I'm waiting for reply.
Also, please move if wrong section.
EDIT:
I have been thinking a bit - if Bluez IME can interpret input from my controller, maybe it would be possible to write an app that would take that input and emulate a gamepad. Do you think it could be done? Unfortunately, I have very little java experience :/
EDIT 2:
I just got an reply from Steelseries support:
"Hello,
Unfortunately, it will always detect is as a mouse. I am sorry but this is just the way that it was designed.
Best regards,[...]"
I guess, that the guy from support didn't exactly understand that my problem wasn't the mouse but the fact that I can't play any gamepad-enabled games - only with keyboard emulation ._.
