Wii remote working... non-emulator games?

So I got the Wii remote working with various emulators on CM7, and it's nothing short of awesome.
Anyone know of any market place games that use physical keyboard input? Was wondering if you could map it to the Wii controller. Would be nice to have some updated graphics. Thanks.

Controllers for SNES/N64/NES/PSX?

So can you hook up the Wiimote/classic wii controller to the gTab and use it on the emulators? I love the games but I think a controller would help alot!

I'm not sure of the current emulators support Bluetooth connectivity. Its also interesting to mention that there are USB SNES and NES controller's being sold online and at urban outfitters. I wonder if the tablet would be able to detect those.

You can use a Wii Mote with the Classic Controller Attachment.
If you don't like the idea of tethering to the Wii Mote, I've used the following with Success on my EVO 4g (haven't tested on GTablet yet, but should work fine):

Tested wiimote works find with free app from market... just search for it

do you need tools to use the wiimote? Is there any lag

Works Solidly, No lag. Setup is very straightforward, set the Key mappings in each of the Emulators, as well as enable 'Use Input Method' under Other settings, enjoy

[Q] Nesoid Working, but no other emulators

I have Nesoid, Gameboid, GBCoid, Gensoid, and SNesoid on my NC, and only Nesoid will work. I have tried both off and on in "Compatability Mode" in Spare Parts, and they still won't work. It tries to open, waits 30 seconds, and says that the program is not responding. I copied the exact same files to my Incredible, and everything work there. I am running cyanogen 7 stable. Is there something I am missing? I have searched the forums and there doesn't seem to be a "how to" regarding emulators, unless it is so easy, there doesn't need to be one.

Running CM7, Nesoid, snes and n64oid all seem to work here. Using the 1.1 oc kernel.
Let me know if there is a particular setting you want me to check.

Hey do you play Blades of Steel on the NC??? I can't wait to get to grabbing that rom and playing it. I hope it looks good, plays good. I have Phiremod.

Did you have to adjust anything in spare parts? Maybe it is the specific ROMs I am trying to run. Everything installed just fine, but it refuses to run any of the ROMs. I have tried a half dozen and only the Nesoid ROMs will work.

I run gameboid with no issues using wiimote over bluetooth for control.
I actually bought nesoid and gameboid.

I got my wiimote working with no problems. Where are you getting the ROMs from? I used Romhustler, but maybe that is why it isn't working.
And I torrented all my emulators. Maybe I need to find something more current.

I am using ROM buddy to gather my roms. I didn't change any settings.
On a side note, are you guys actually using a Wii remote to play the games?

Yeah, it is pretty easy. Just make sure you have an actual wiimote. Originally I bought a knock off and it did not work. When I purchased an official wiimote, I got bluetooth running and used Wiimote Control to pair it (you are unable to pair in bluetooth settings, it asks for a password).

PS3 controller support

It appears as though there is an app out now to pair PS3 game controllers with Android devices via Bluetooth. Can someone download Sixaxis from the market and confirm functionality? According to the free device checker, our Xooms are compatible with this app.
Edit: Forgot to mention this requires root.

I tried it and it works great with the Xoom. I highly recommend it for the gamers. The perfect solution for playing with emulators.

Ive downloaded and paired Via Bluetooth. The only Problem im having with it is that cant configure the controller (well you can configure it but not for certain games) to play other games other then Roms it would be better if lets say there was a way to configure NOVA 2 That would be an epic way to play it

Good app
Great solution to the PS3 controller pairing issue.
I've messed around with this app a fair amount today on my Atrix, and loaded it on my Xoom just to see if I could copy the apk and run it fine on another device. Xoom isn't rooted so I can't tell you how it works on that device. However I will say that the controller configuration is extensive for which button does what. It seems to have just about any of the buttons you could expect to input from a D1 and a Play along with quite a few more to boot.
Since you're essentially mapping system inputs in place of button presses, it also solves the issue of multiple controllers on one device. I had previously hooked up a USB hub to the Xoom via OTG cable and was disappointed to find that inputs from two PS3 controllers registered exactly the same. Instead of input1_down and input2_down .. it was simply seeing keypad_down from both controllers, which made multiplayer impossible unless someone was willing to use a keyboard. (Perhaps a wiimote would have sufficed, but I couldn't tell you. I know a USB 360 controller registered as exactly the same inputs as the PS3 controller did.)
Using this app one controller can be inputting keypad_down, etc.. and another can be configured to use aswd and a few others, and yet another somewhere else on a keyboard's letters and symbols (or camera, volume, etc. buttons). It elegantly solves the multiplayer issue, up to 4 controllers.
It's $1.62 when I nabbed it, absolutely worth the cost and finally a pressing reason to root.
As far as games compatible with it, they would have to accept up,down,left,right, etc.. natively. It appears you can use the exact commands available to the Play, so you should see more widespread support for controllers in future games, and you should pester the devs of current games that don't support it to get with the program and add support for the Play, since that will kill two birds with one stone.

Thanks guys! Guess I will have to pick up a PS3 controller today

Sony Ericson XPERIA PLAY gamepad?

Just asking if there were a way we could use the keyboard as a gamepad similar to the xperia play's one? It could be great tu be able to use the keyboard to play games, and very much more user-friendly.
Thanks

Well in most emulators on the market, you can map the keys to controller buttons. I use Gameboy A.D. from the market and it's great with the D3 keyboard.

Sixaxis controller from market and a ps3 controller ftw.

Yeah, but for other games (native games for android) that's not possible. I don't have a PS3, i'm playing on a XBOX 360.

This is not what you are looking for, but this is great for emulators and such. http://www.game-gripper.com/category_s/49.htm

With native games I just use sixaxis in "touch" mode and setup the profile to match the button overlay in the game. The controllers keypresses emulate touch events so it works 100% with anything that allows touchscreen or key(hardware button) input. You can have the controller emulate a touchscreen, keyboard and/or mouse so... a 20$ ps3 controller(any pawn shop has them used etc, just make sure it's bluetooth and not the 2.4ghz with a dongle) and d3 car mount screwed to it > gamegripper imo. Trying to upload you a screenshot of the profile setup, once you see that you'll know for sure it works with anything that runs on droid, including the home app/any app/game but its being stuborn, I'll get it up in a bit.
Edit: Uploaded that screenshot of the profile setup with my fpse profile loaded. The buttons aren't shown when playing a game or anything, only time you see where the button taps are position on the screen is when making/editing profiles so nothing interferes. sorry it took so long, used a friends laptop just to get them up lol. You'll notice I have the analog buttons overtop of the digital pad so I can use either/switch during gameplay etc
