now it worked.. didnt do anything different from before. strange.

does anyone kow how to connect a second wiimote?

[obiwan22]

you can connect a second wii remote but I dont see how that would be useful considering gameboid and all android games are one player

however, you can use 2 wii remotes to connect to psx4all or nes etc

[azmo]

Its about nes/snes games.

How do i connect two?

[obiwan22]

if you want to connect more than one Wii remote, follow the same procedure, but put ALL the remotes to discovery mode

[peterx]

Can this work with other controllers as well?
May be some USB Gamepads from Logitech?
It would be awsome!

P.S. Can you do other things with the Wiimote? Eg: control the Archos, its player or browser?

expounding on peter's question, anyone know about the ps3 controller? that is bluetooth right? what about the move controller?

[obiwan22]

peter, no you cant use the wii remote other than games

ps3 or other controllers wont work because of drivers needed is lacking

this program is made for wii remote

Bought a Wii remote and a Classic Controller yesterday. The thing worked great. Gonna buy another controller set and a mini-HDMI cable and then we're in for some cool SNES-Sessions.

Buy the datel wii wireless retro controller instead, same exact functions only just one controller & no wires.

well i guess i didn't mean this application specifically - but as there are pc drivers to use ps3 on bluetooth does anyone think the chances are good something like that will happen for android?

[kagutsuchi]

I've actually been doing a lot of research lately on getting a Sixaxis/DS3 to work with Android, and the short answer is that yes, it could probably work. PS3 controllers have an odd way of connecting via Bluetooth, so it might require rooting first, though.

[Harfainx]

There are currently no drivers to make a PS3 controller work on Android (at least not made public that I know of). Even if you could get it to connect (which I'm sure you could pair it relatively easily), you don't have a way of mapping the buttons. Without the proper drivers (or mapping software), you won't be able to do anything with the controller, even if you do connect.

[kagutsuchi]

Pairing with a PS3 controller is quite easy. The controller itself holds the MAC address of its master, but a PC is required to actually set that (not sure if that can be done easily on a mobile device). Once it's set though, then that's all there is to pairing it.

The hard part is connecting. Android only supports SPP/Rfcomm currently, not HID/L2CAP which is what the PS3 controllers require. There are actually private APIs for L2CAP which might work via reflection, but I have yet to see anyone successfully use it. Beyond that, connectivity would have to be established via JNI (see WiiUseJ for such an implementation for the Wiimote which also requires L2CAP).

When paired and the PS button on the controller is pressed, the PS3 controller will send connection requests to its master on PSM 17 and 19. However, it doesn't send normal connection requests (PS3 controllers don't have any sort of PIN relationship). It's more of a handshake in which the controller makes itself discoverable and the Bluetooth server (the device holding the socket) will send a packet of something like 12 bytes to the controller to set the LEDs and initiate the connection.

At that point, it becomes fairly trivial. The controller will continuously send packets of 50 bytes to the server which then need to be read to ascertain the state of each of the buttons.

Having trouble with the wii remote. I can connect it, and set the buttons in Snesoid, but once the game starts, I have no control.

[warlock257]

I fixed it. There was a setting to enable special controllers

[nyhalfback14]

hey how did you find the special setting? i am having the same issue

Thanks
