A guy in this thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/vs2yt/nexus_7_official_google_response_no_mhl_yes_usb/) got me wondering ...
Does the Nexus 7 have a bluetooth stack that supports emulator gaming via wiimotes and game comtrollers?
I was already a but disappointed about no MHL ability. If it doesn't have a bluetooth stack that supports wiimotes/game controllers for emulators then that's the final straw...

Thanks for moving it to the right place Step666
Guess I asked this question in the wrong section, anyone out there have ideas on this and if the Nexus 7 has the proper bluetooth stack to use wiimotes? (for gaming emulators)
I don't see any reason why not, my Dell Streak 7 had the ability to do it with the app from the market.
Yes, it's not HTC Sense
WAIT! What?
I must be really late here, but are you telling me that Wii-motes are bluetooth supported and can link up to certain android devices?

Sense 4.0 fixed this btw I can natively use my Wiimote on my 4G LTE.
To OP: there's no reason to think otherwise. Other than previous HTC devices, most (if not all) bluetooth stacks have supported it.
If you are playing a rom that is multiplayer can you use 2 ps3 controllers or wii remotes to play multiplayer on the same Nexus?

I'm looking for a small gamepad that connects via bluetooth or usb cable to the Galaxy S for the purpose of playing NES/SNES/Genesis roms. Does anyone know if something like this exists?

You here to make the biggest announcement since this phone came out?
Last I checked Wiimotes weren't working due to the change in the Bluetooth stack...
Wiimotes SHOULD work once CM6 comes out, but until then I'm not sure. maybe a PS3 controller? but that's a bit complex and not pocketable haha
I can't tell you when Ryan Frawley is going to release a 3.0 wiimote (or if our vibrants will somehow become able to use the old version) but I can say that in the meantime I have an idea as to how to construct something to tie them together like a PSP.
I have seen others using GPS holders and stuff to the same effect, this just seems like it would be a little less akward to use, so long as you can get your phone released in time to answer a call (or just use a bluetooth, heh).
Attached is a picture of the idea I had, anyone that wants to make it happen is free to. No patents or anything here.
Wiimote does not work on the Vibrant. Works wonderful on the N1.

Why do you think wiimotes will start working with CM6. The hardware in this phone is different than every other Android phone on the planet. This is Bluetooth 3.0. Is CM6 going to downgrade it to 2.1?
According to this post the Zeemote works with the psx emulator. I don't knowif it will work with the nes/snes ones or not. I don't know how well it works as a remote either, just remember reading about this the other day when I saw your post an thought I'd share.
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...mote-works-on-psx4droid-with-gamepro-drivers/
ziimote should work.
otherwise im waiting for CM6 to come out, then im planning on making a slimmer/lighter wiimote.
Based on the view count of this thread, someone could make a lot of Benjamins if they patented, designed, and produced a pint-sized gampad with bluetooth that would work with the Galaxy S. I wish I had the money or I'd do it myself because whoever does could make some hefty cabbage. I know I'd be first in line to buy one...I can't stand the on-screen controls for the emulators, but they are better than nothing at all of course.
Now this is worth a look. Anyone try it out on the Galaxy S?

What about mounting it like this guy did:

ROFL that's an awesome idea! Great find! I will definately have to try that, its much cheaper and easier since there are hundreds of those plastic wheels running around.
Its not a hardware problem, its software. Samsung put proprietary bluetooth stack in their version of android they loaded on the galaxy s phones. Its imcompatible, it doesnt support the bluetooth mode that the gamepads need to operate properly. thats why using a vanilla rom, or a rom that utilizes the stock google bluetooth stack (like CM6) works fine.
derek how do we know that? did you take touchwiz off your phone?
i think its a little deeper than that... we can ask eugene tho... he is building a 2.1 stock rom on his phone... we could ask him to try to hook up a wiimote

But I have no idea if the MSI bluetooth works with Galaxy S bluetooth stack, or if ANY gamepad does.

I'd donate a few bucks as well if I could get my wiimote working on my vibrant. It's not about the lack of physical keyboard either, as I hated using the keyboard on my g1 to play emulators. You don't get the same feel nor same fun factor on anything but a controller made for gaming.

Video here. Man this thread is kinda old.
hi guys,
I don't know if you're familiar but for some time there are some options available to jailbreak your PS3.
The smart guys of the world managed to do so via an USB Dongle and as well via N900 and it seems PalmPre.
Would this be possible via Android/HD2? I suppose it should..
Below are some links so that you devs can have a look at it:

http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65355
Update: it seems someone is working on an Android version: http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65246
there's a version for Nokia N900.. hope a port for Android is coming up next
great http://www.ps3news.com/PS3-Hacks/ps-jailbreak-tiny-clone-android-psgroove-port-in-development/
it's absolutely incredible what the devs and technology can do today. wish I knew all that much to do it myself!
this would end up being a app not a build , better in general section ....or better yet in the android general where all those developers are

Yeah, perhaps. I only wanted to know if it would be ported to Android if we could have it on our HD2
i found this link to screens of the guy who says he is working on an android version.

Let's just hope the smart devs will get this on our beloved HD2s. I have complete faith in them! Just look around and you'll see impossible is nothing!
But I read in a website there that people were getting banned, so it kinda beats the purpose if you want to play online games. You would only be able to play story mode games with your internet disconnected.

Actually no.. These things aren't actual illegal..
I remember some lawsuit from apple which they lost on this firmware modding.
All this PSFreedom thing does is load the PS3 into debug mode.
Don't really see what's illegal about that..

exactly. I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation of all the homebrew that'll be available. Proper mkv playback, better PS1/2 emulation than the original fat PS3's "hardware" PS2 emu capabilities, snes emulation, better browser (firefox?)... once it's opened up to run anything, the possibilities are endless
oooh yeaah.. 1080p mkv in PS3 willbe juuust right.. I hope someone will port xbmc to ps3..

I have both a kindle fire and an ipad 2. Is there a wireless keyboard i can get that will work with both devices (once fire gets bluetooth).
I'm thinking this....
logitech.com/en-us/1200/8214
or this...
logitech.com/en-us/1222/8232
Does it matter? Will one only work with android and the other only with Ipad or are they universal? because I am 99% sure they are actually the same keyboard. If they are not universal is there a wireless bluetooth keyboard i can get that will work with both. (links would be great)
Thanks!
You get that bluetooth doesn't work for the Fire but are asking for a bluetooth keyboard that works for the Fire?
Huh? I am asking for one that will work for both the fire and the Ipad 2.

I'm setting a reminder. When there is a ROM with Bluetooth support, I will let you know which keyboard will work with the Kfire.
If you purchase a Bluetooth keyboard specifically with the intention of using it with your Kindle Fire, prepare to be disappointed....forever.

Kinda like the SGS Vibrant can pick up FM radio? Or the Sprint HTC Hero can be used on GSM networks?
(hint: I'm being facetious - neither of those are true)
You'd think that after all these years people would stop looking at just the CPU Spec-sheet before they proclaim so loudly that a device has the ability to do something out of the box. And that just a simple tweak in a custom ROM will add what the manufacturer was too stupid to figure out...

No, they are not deluded in having hope given how much this parallels the Nook Color's example of getting BT enabled in software that was included in the wifi chip (just like the Fire). Saying it's guaranteed to work is definitely not true though, since it could possibly rely on additional power or data pins on that chip that may or may not be connected. Back on the hopeful side, given that the Fire is based on the BB Playbook hardware (which has working Bluetooth) I doubt Quanta went out of their way to modify the system board just to physically disable BT
I use the Apple bluetooth keyboard. Nice size. Can be gotten for less than $40 by buying bulk version. Even cheaper if you get a clone.

How?? It takes more than a software change to make bluetooth work. If bluetooth is possible on the Kindle Fire, I think it would already be working and featured. Is there a dormant bluetooth radio inside the Kindle Fire?
