[Q] Looking for a bluetooth gamepad for Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was just wondering if any of you guys has found a working bluetooth gamepad for the Galaxy S? I really wasnt one for the emulation apps, but couldn't find any answers on the forums here. In particular, I've been looking at the BGP100 - has anyone tried this?
Thanks in advance!

Then there's' no joypad to use?

I got a Zeemote, but it's not a very good control device. Too hard to use. It does work with the galaxy s though, and they're quite cheap. I'm doing a hardware mod to bluetooth enable a SEGA Megadrive pad using the electronics from the zeemote.

Overclock your zoom to 1700mhz. Everything will be smooth.

1.5GHz is far enough... any higher and the heat produced outweighs the performance difference
What is your preference in terms of overclocking...through Tiamat settings or SetCPU? Is one considered to be more effective than the other?

Use the Droid 4 keyboard on the Nexus 7

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the Droid 4's physical keyboard as a bluetooth keyboard on the Nexus 7? Or the iPad.
Thanks... this would be awesome

I found this on the play store, no idea if it works.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote&hl=en
Theres also a app called BlueputDroid which emulates a generic bluetooth mouse/keyboard.
EDIT: I tried the Tablet Remote app, but I dont think it worked on either the tablet ( Asus Transformer Infinity) or the phone (Droid 4), I got bluetooth service discovery errors on both, but the BlueputDroid does work, its what I use. I hope the Tablet Remote gets worked out because it looks like a really nice app!

The Nexus 10 Arcade

Greetings XDA! I have been a follower of XDA for a long time, but this is happens to be my first post, so I figured to commemorate it, I would share V1.0 of my Nexus 10 Arcade machine using the Icade unit! The unit has been given a massive cosmetic overall with brand new custom artwork, and will soon feature LED backlight in V2. Hope you guys enjoy it and it's good to be here! :laugh:
Since I cannot post a video link quite yet, simply type "The Nexus Arcade" in the Youtube search engine and enjoy!
Looks nice!
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUSQ99tvs1E
This is too awesome! Now I'm gonna have dreams about it
Where can I order mine and how much does it cost?

T was an awesome project for me. Im looking forward to lighting this thing up! After that, I will be installing a built-in Bluetooth speaker to berf up the core sound quality.

Its hard to say...
Logistically?
The icade unit cost me $30 on Ebay, and I got a deal.
The vinyl stickers cost me $35.
The LEDs cost me $30.
Thinkgeek offers them for $100, but I would try Amazon or ebay.

Dude that is sweet, nice job. Do the controls actually work? How are they connected?
The controls work perfectly. They are connected via Bluetooth. Thats why it works with the android tabs and the ipads.

Again, awesome job. What games are you running on it? I love the classic style arcade games.
Over 2000 games, but some of my favorites are:
Asteroids
Galaga
Pac-Man
Street Fighter II-III
PONG
Frogger
Donkey Kong
Marvel VS Capcom
DOOM
TRON
Metal Slug
Darkstalkers
Fatal Fury
And tons More!
To see V2, search for "The Nexus Arcade V2 (Nexus 10)" in the YouTube search engine

I built a full size arcade cabinet that runs MAME - it's a lot of fun. I'd love to get MAME running on my Nexus 10, but I haven't found a version that works well full screen.
What software are you using?
Also, if anyone is interested, I ripped some sounds from Galaga (ringtone & notification) - almost guarantees your phone will sound unique.
Its running MAME 0.139. It gets the job done.
See version 2 of the device in the link above.

I realized my problem with Mame4Droid Reloaded was that I was using incompatible ROMs. I found some ROMs that were the right version.
If you're not using Mame4Droid Reloaded, what emulator are you using?
Text removed form original post:
Any chance you could send me a link to the version of MAME your using? I've tried mame4droid (can't get full screen) and mame4droid reloaded (can't get most of my ROMs to work). I was hoping to find a fairly simple solution that would let me use my existing Roms full screen.

It is running Mame4Droid Reloaded. 0.139 is the rom version. I also use Final Burn Alpha for some of the CPS-based games like Street Fighter III

This has become quite a time hog...
Mame4Droid Reloaded. 0.139 is running great. I think I might pick up a PS3 controller - seems to be the best option for a universal controller. I don't need to go the iCade route for a controller since I've already got a full size cabinet.
Researching and finding newer versions (0.139u1 compatible) of all my favorite ROMs has made me want to update my cabinet to run the same version as my tablet. I forgot how much fun messing with MAME & various front ends can be - and how quickly a lot of time can be spent.
Anyone know of an inexpensive bluetooth controller with a trackball? I so want to play my favorite arcade game ever, Marble Madness, and was disappointed to learn that MAME4droid doesn't support the Nexus 10 accelerometer. Actually, it does support it but only for left/right (driving) controls.
Good luck finding a trackball gamepad in general... FPS players have been asking for this for a few years now lol... You might be able to use a trackball mouse or keyboard though
This is awesome!

Recommended Wireless Controller for Modern Combat 4?

I'm getting tired of getting killed using the touch screen controls. Any recommendations on controllers to play the game? Thanks guys.

Yup - root+ sixaxis widget + ps3 controller is the best solution, especially for the amount of buttons the ps3 controller has. However, before I rooted, I got one of these on sale (not cheap otherwise!) and it's amazing for Shadowgun (haven't tried many other games with it however): http://steelseries.com/products/other/steelseries-free-mobile-wireless-controller
Amazing little thing, great feel and I'm surprised by the quality. Also, cross-platform compatibility (Android, iOS and Windows, for example). I had my doubts, but after using it for awhile... wow. Such a small controller should not perform so well!
HOWEVER: keep in mind that Android compatibility is still spotty with controllers, especially if you do not have root. You'll need a game that either explicitly tells you that it is compatible with the controller of your choice (ie. "compatible with Moga controllers" ) OR has some way to map controls manually in the game. I haven't tried your game, so check first. In Shadowgun and NOVA, for example, in game settings you're able to map buttons. So even without root, you can plug a ps3 controller in via the dock's USB port and map away. Or pair the Free controller and you're off.
If you DO have root, I think there might be ways to emulate touch controllers with root and sixaxis, but I haven't tried. Unless someone else can speak to how well this works? Theoretically, this enables you to play games that aren't even designed for controllers.
Hope this helps!

FYI: Rooted GN4 + Gear VR + PS4 Controller works!

FYI: The PS4 Controller works with GN4 (rooted) and the Gear VR with a stock ROM using Sixaxis Controller(Paid) :good:
I didn't know if it would work, and I didn't see anyone else post a thread about it, but it is working beautifully.
This is the perfect setup for Dreadhalls. Scary as $hit with a nice set of headphones!
If you have a custom rom
Flash to stock using Kies
Insert phone to Gear VR
Run the update from your carrier
Let the Oculus app install
Ensure you can use at least one app form Oculus app store
Run simple root again
Install Sixaxis Controller(paid) or some other PS controller app
Enjoy! :victory:
Now the million dollar question is.. does it work with remote play?
Nice. Im gonna get GearVR as soon as its available in Europe.
Im not a big fan of ps4. I play on xbox one so Ive bought a nice bluetooth controller from ebay thats very similar to xbox controller and is usable with Note 4
So gear vr won't work with AOSP ?
