I have an 8525 and a Tilt and have lots of games on each of them. Gaming on the 8525 is acceptable since it does have the PIE and messaging buttons on top, however, it's really hard with the Tilt since the buttons are by each other. So i was wondering if anybody uses a bluetooth game controller to play games? I was hoping some dude would make Wii control drivers for ppc's but that never worked out. So if you have one, can you share it and link us? Thanks
So nobody has any of these?
I haven't seen any bluetooth gaming pads but if a game allows mapping of controls or can use a keyboard there is always the option of an external foldable bluetooth keyboard if you need something more meaty to use.
Hey guys, so it just occured to me today, Wii Remote is Bluetooth... Tilt is Bluetooth... you do the math. To me this sounds like a realy good idea but I have not been able to find any thing usefull to make it work once I connect the two, can anyone help me out?
It's been talked over and over, but nobody got anywhere. I personally posted a thread on it a while back but nobody seems to have made any progress since nobody really seems serious about it. The idea itself is very nice however.
It's been done on PC, so yes it's of course possible. But that would be a load of work to port it on WM, and frankly what would you control with a Wiimote on a PPC? Play one day with it to wow your friends and that's it? Not really worth the time and effort...
Well, there's a few obvious drawbacks.
1. No practical IR sensor solution, so pointer's out of the question.
2. The wii-mote's about as big as the phone.
3. Drivers would need to be developed.
However, you'd be able to do the following.
1. Map the buttons to do whatever you want.
2. Play audio through the wiimote(if you so wanted).
3. Have one-touch program launching capabilities without grabbing your phone.
If you ask me, somebody should do it just for the sheer geekiness of it.
And also eventually a PS3 Bluetooth remote too.
There is a posibillity to get this work with few effort. It's a .NET Library which also should work on WM-Phones! Found it on Wiibrew.org or something like that...
would make it awesome for playing games you could play all the snes and megadrive games and it would be sooper cool! and easy to say the least!
not possible.
Wii remote has built in accelerometer.
you can however use the Wii remote as a G-Meter for you car when you hook it up to your laptop.

That's besides the point; we're wanting just to use it as bt game controller for playing stuff like Mario which afaik doesn't require any accelerometer.
@ kilrah, i would have to disagree with that. It'd be a whole lot of fun using since the bt game pads that are made for PPCs are so lame; i'd be playing on my device a whole lot more if i could use the wiimote.

1. You already have a large assortment of buttons accessible to program directly on the phone. If you need more buttons than your kaiser has, then just open the keyboard!
2. The wii remote audio is no better sounding than the audio built into the kaiser. Besides, just use your Kaiser to control your audio center on your computer!
3. What will you launch remotely on the phone that you will be able to see from a distance anyway? Seems to me that you would need the phone nearby in order to see what you are controlling anyway.
Total waste of time because there are NO benefits. Just more batteries to charge. No offense for picking on you but I agree with the previous poster. There is no beneficial purpose for trying to use a wii on a kaiser.
Reason for posting
I started this thread cuz i am running NES and GBA games on my TyTAN II and I would love to be able to play using the wii mote. I have been looking into it myself but to be honest I have about as much programming skill as a wet sponge.

Ive used several bluetooth keyboards that had way too much lag to try to play a game using the directional controls. I somehow doubt that a Wii remote would respond much faster . . . . . . .
Not to be a spoil sport. Hell AFAIK someone has already made the BT on the kaiser responsive enough to use . . . . .

I beg to differ; if you came from an 8525 to the Tilt, you'll see that the button placement for games is less practical. For the 8525, you could at least have your hands separated at length of the phone so that not everything was crunched; the same can not be said for the Tilt.
How cool would it be to have your Tilt tilted on the desk and you playing a few feet away? Pretty nice imo. To you there might be no benefits, to some of us, it opens a whole new world of gaming

Admittedly, however you will have to overcome the lag issue . . . . .
What lag issue?
Look 3 posts up
I have had 3 different kaisers and 3 different bluetooth keyboards. Ive tried playing many a game using directional controls on the keyboards and in all 6 combinations , there was too much time between the time i hit the key and the command was interpreted by the kaiser. IE, Controlling Mario in Super Mario brothers using NES emu, if i use the keyboard on the kaiser, mario controlled just fine. When using a bluetooth device mario took approx .5 seconds to start moving after pressing the keys. Thusly, he stopped .5 seconds after the key was depressed or jumped .5 seconds too late.
THIS is the lag i was referring to. I can ONLY assume its because of the lag / latency between a bluetooth device and the bluetooth radio in the kaiser.
ALSO, I tested this with multiple roms and radios, including changing the BT related registry settings.
**EDIT**
This lag may not cause an issue playing puzzle games like tetris ( until you get to the upper levels where reaction time really matters )
Hi I found the link: http://www.codeplex.com/WiiMoB/
hmm, there is such a Program for symbian and nokia n95 etc.
why should it not work on kaiser ???
Hi all,
I know this is at the back of lots of gamers mind's who are using an i9000.
I am running a Darky Rom so I still get TV out - which is a big thing for me.
I got rid of my HD2 for this i9000 - and I still have not been able to connect a Wiimote to my device.
I was playing FPSCE with the wiimote on the HD2 and I really really miss this functionality.
I am aware that the bluetooth Kernal is the issue and that the Cynogen mod roms and others based around this are running a different BT imp which addresses and resolves this issue, but if I jump to Cynogen, I loose my TV out which is sadly more important (blame Ttorrent).
Has anyone heard of anything happening anywhere that will let me play with my wiimote whilst TvOUTed?
I am not holding my breath
Many thanks
Guys I have a problem with our beloved xperia and I'm posting only now because I am sure now it's actually the phone, not the device (I tried it on an old KitKat Samsung and a nougat moto g... Everything is fine there).
So I have an iPega 9025 bluetooth gamepad which was working all right in my previous Nexus 5.
Here's the problem: FIRST TIME I try to pair the pad everything is fine, gamepad is working as it should be in games, emulators and within the android system. After first use though, if I turn off the gamepad and turn it on again it just doesn't work. I can see the Bluetooth icon in bar system and I see it in Bluetooth settings as Connected, it just does doesn't work.
Before u ask, I already tried going in Scanning settings and play with WiFi Scanning and Bluetooth scanning (on or off) : it doesn't change anything
I also tried in Developer Options in change Bluetooth AVRCP version from 1.6 to 1,4: doesn't change anything.
Bummer, I was planning on heavyly using emulators and games...
Does somebody has my same problem? Or maybe it's just this particular ipega gamepad having some sort of conflict with our xperia? In that case, does somebody is using some other Bluetooth Gamepad and NOT having any problems?
P. S. I'm on last build 47.1.A. 2.374
Nobody...?
Hi.
I have played since yesterday the game on my shield tablet with the Nvidia controller.
Absolutely no problem
But I want to know if I can play without controller, just with the touchscreen and some tricks or app.
Does anyone have some idea ?
