Hey. No not yet. Seems these controllers are using a non-standard communication chipset. Nyko Wing ... that's the one that plugs into the wiimote, but is wireless, no? I don't know yet but I suspect that there is more than one type of this controller out there, with a different chip. I will have to investigate.

Which "HTC HD"? Threre exist multiple "HD" phones by HTC. If it is a SenseUI phone then it won't work, unless you flash a vanilla ROM (say cyanogenmod).

BTW, have you visited the official website of my app? There are a lot of answered questions, and a video (two even) showing how it's supposed to work.

The wiimote doesn't have a PIN to pair with. It is a pairless device (these do exist). No standard java API to establish HID connections, that's why it doesn't work on half the phones (well, it would, if HTC and Samsung didn't mess around with bluetooth stacks, but as it stands, they did, and it doesn't :( ).

Unlike the wiimote (which is a pairless bluetooth device), the dualshock is an overly protective one, as it comes to pairing. In fact, a pairing procedure is highly non-standard. And the way it works is non-standard too. Right now it's impossible to connect it to the android system (to my knowledge), but even if it was possible, it would be as constrictive as with the wiimote (that is, no HTC/Samsung devices unless flashed).

The current version of the WiimoteController app supports the classic controller already (as long as the wiimote works).

Happy holidays ;)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GTO-Heaven:
Sorry, there was a typo in my post.

I have a HTC DHD (Desire HD) which runs with Sense. That means it does not work. Yes I was on your site, but I did not really find what I was searching for. I think the site has a difficult navigation.

If I change the Sense UI to a vanilla Rom thing you think it would work then?

Where can I find good ones and are they updated reguarly?

This works very well for me, well worth the money, appart from one thing: whenever I haven't touched any button on the Wii Remote for about 10 seconds, it disconnects. If this happens in-game, I have to exit and re-connect. It's really a pain in the ass. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? It works PERFECTLY as long as I remember to always push some button, also with a classic controller connected.

My phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro, running Android 2.1. I've read through the latest 15 pages in the thread, and googled for hours, I simply can't find anyone mentioning this problem! Very very grateful for help.

pikipirs,

Does the wiimoteController do anything with the acceleration information of the wiimote? I did a search on the forums and did not find anything that answered my question,

THanks,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
No it doesn't. Just buttons and analog sticks on extensions, it doesn't do anything with the camera and accelerometer.

Hi, I have a question for pikipirs...

I bought a wii remote w/ nunchuck from chineese distributor. I do not have a Wii system to test on, and my question is about the nunchuck extension. I read in your facts to use nintendo wii accessories not 3rd party, maybe that is my problem. I can use the primary remote OK, but not the nunchuck. I see message "Unknown extension plugged in wm1. Extension code 20a4" Is it possible to set 20a4 in code somewhere so that nunchuck can communicate with program? I look through the .apk file and don't see a "config" file where maybe I could edit something to accept the 20a4 extension. Am I missing something else? Any help here would be appreciated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Yes that is your problem.

Many chinese products have this chip. I already tried to do what you suggest and sadly it doesn't work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bit Banger:
Thanks for the reply pikipirs,

You are correct, Chineese no name junk was the problem. I broke down and bought Nintendo branded Wii remote and nunchuck and everything is working great! Thanks!

Works great on my Archos 101 , but I have two very small issues:

Can't get it to work with Mobile Invaders, the game let's me assign buttons, but then they do not work. I assume it is a game issue, not the controller.

2nd: I can't see the mapping help screen. Just get some random lines. I managed to read it by loading the app on my droidx.

pikipirs,

I looked for source code to try a modification myself, but it could not be found.

I use your app to control PowerAMP in my car.

I am missing the ability to toggle repeat/shuffle with 1 and 2 buttons. But, I know the intents. These intents are unpublished, and I'm not even sure if they will work, but it would be great if we could try out some testing. Also, maybe 5th key configuration profile that works only when <certain app> is loaded is possible?

component name=com.maxmpz.audioplayer.player.PlayerService

action=com.maxmpz.audioplayer.ACTION_REPEAT

action=com.maxmpz.audioplayer.ACTION_SHUFFLE

Wiimote disconnects?

I have been running wiimote controller to test out the n64oid emulator. It works great...sometimes. I can't seem to understand what's going on, the service is still active after I exit n64oid but the controller has disconnected. It usually happens right before I can press start on the first screen of Legend of Zelda: OoT; Mario Kart seems to have no problems. If n64oid runs in the background, I can enable wiimote controller again and return to Zelda, no problems, it will run until the emulator crashes (pretty damn often). 5 minutes of gameplay or so before it runs out of RAM probably. I was thinking you could add a notification so that android doesn't kill the process, but I'm not sure that's the problem. Anybody else experience their wiimote controller disconnecting, maybe in low memory situations? I only need it to keep in memory aggressively because the emulator takes up so much memory, what to do?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pityr:
I read the whole thread and didn't see anything concrete.

Im able to detect the controller but it keeps asking for a PIN. Even if I leave it blank (hit space and then backspace) it still fails to connect. The app tells me that its "connected to -2 wiimotes" and then proceeds to attempt to set the lights but never actually does anything.

Am I doing anything wrong? Im using CM7 RC1 and have tried it with a few of the nightlies with the same result.

This is correct it does work with SGS CM7 build, but the TV-OUT is broken so using your SGS as a cool EMU machine on your TV is out of the Q.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Hi,

what does your phone say whan you try to connect within the WiimoteController? Does it say "Error no -1"?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sibbor:
Sadly, it's error -1 (is that an init value that haven't changed through out the process within the app?)...

However, LG's Bluetooth Scan Test gives me the following:

00:19:1D:8B:19:13

However, it's just a scan test, so can't connect or pair that way.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] evilpotatoguy:
This is a super cool app, thanks pikipirs!

Does anyone else have an issue with freezing whenever a peripheral is plugged into the Wiimote? I've been using it with 1 and 2 Wiimotes with no issues until I try to plug in a Nunchuk or Classic Controller.

I'm on a Viewsonic G-Tablet running TnT Lite 4.4.0. I turn Bluetooth on, run the app to sync the Wiimote(s), and everything is dandy as it shows the button inputs as I press them.

However, if I plug in a Nunchuk or a Classic Controller (all official Nintendo branded) into the Wiimote (before the sync or after the sync, tried both), it freezes the entire device. I've tried different Wiimotes (with and without MotionPlus) and two different Classic Controllers with the same result.

I've tried plugging the Nunchuk/Classic Controller in right after syncing with the app and immediately mashing on buttons from the Wiimote and the accessory to see if it displays any inputs, and it does for about 1-2 seconds before it hangs.

I am able to use the Classic Controllers and Nunchuk through Snes9x EX's built-in syncing 100% fine, but using this app for other emulators/games limits me to Wiimote-only for now for some strange reason.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] killerb7854:
I had the same problem with my nunchuck. Cheap Chinese set although you'd never tell the difference by looking at it. :p Wiimote works great but not so much with the nunchuck. Extention code 20a4, same as yours.

My question is have you tried the official nintendo nunchuck with your Chinese wiimote? Curious if I could get away with just buying a nunchuck instead of both.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thedicemaster:
works great on my tablet(P10AN01/Advent vega/mobii tegra), but i can't change the mapping of the L and R buttons for the datel retro controller.

i can change the zL and zR buttons, but the regular L and R button remain as C and Z

i don't mind being able to use them as L1, R1, L2, and R2 in some emulators but it it's a bit odd that 2 of the buttons can't be changed.

and another thing: is there a reason i can't map buttons to home or menu?

and i hope someone finds a way to get this working on the LG O2X soon, but untill then at least i have a zeemote.

pikipirs, is this app still being developed? I notice it's still in beta...

*and if it's still being developed... any chance you're working on a PS3 controller addition?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Yes, this is still in development, albeit not very active at the moment.

This app will probably never be out of beta. My intention was to pull this app out of beta when it will work with most devices, but that will most probably not be achievable. Most of the functionality intended is already in the app.

I tried it with the PS3 controller, but was unable to do anything usefull, this is currently on hold.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] phdeez:
Thanks for the response and work! I'm assuming you used DS3 Tool to pair the PS3 controller with the Android device?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sibbor:
pikipirs, we would be very happy with DS3 support, but if you can't, then you can't :-)!

Just wanted to tell you that your app works fine with LG Optimus 2X running CyanogenMod 7 (first version; nightly available flashed and tested here!). It kicks ass to play emulators with WiiMote (classic controller) on the projector running via HDMI from my device.

Thanks once again for your awesome app!

Hey, great work pikipirs. Does anybody know if this is likely to work on a Samsung Galaxy Tab? I saw mention of it not working with the Galaxy S :( I'm running the 2.2 Overcome ROM if that helps. I don't have a Wiimote but I'm going to Europe tomorrow and will probably run out and buy one if it does work :D Thanks!

Hey, I have some problems with your app atm my sgs with cm7

I can connect and even set the keys of the wii controller

but nothing happens after that

I switched from android keyboard to wii controller

and at the emulator to gamepad

after that I set the keys

is it normal that is says for example:Down: C Left: A?

mby im doing something wrong or its still the sgs which fails?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Thank you for reminding me of this thread. It has been updated to the latest version.

Sure can. Expect it in the next version.

I can't say I understand you. So you have a Galaxy S with cm7, you can connect fine and set the keys. Where do you set them? What is this "gamepad" you are talking about, in relation to an emulator? Which emulator?

Wiimote's dpad is mapped to the android's d-pad button events. So Down Left should be Down Left. If you are using a classic controller, the d-pad is mapped to WSAD. Unless you changed WiimoteController's preferences of course.

---------

PS: a new version is out: v0.55b, published may-16-2011. Changelog:

changed the way wiimotes are detected. A lot of devices should now at least detect them (but may still not be supported)

dropped support for Android 1.5 and 1.6. Sorry, had to do it to comply with various licences

improved virtual key dispatching. Home screens should now accept input from controllers

new: app now reports back compatibility info to help improving future development

fixed a bug in the direct interface so now it should be ready

Miui and Wiimote control

Let me start by saying that I love this app. The only problem I have with it is I want to control the phone with the wiimote and connect it to the TV using HDMI. I can just about do this in the latest version of Miui for the Evo (1.4.15 i believe) but I have a couple of problems.

#1. I can't gain focus in Miui folders, therefore i don't know what I'm selecting when inside the folder. (The workaround for this is to not use folders and put everything that was in a folder on its own screen, no big deal)

#2. I can't control the slingplayer mobile app with the wiimote. I can get back buttons to work and volume controls but I am unable to change the channels (a simple ch+ ch- would be fine). I would like to assign these key mappings to get this to work

"-" = ch-

"+" = ch+

1 = volume +

2 = volume -

home = home screen

B = back

A = select

Dpad = Dpag (U,D,L,R)

This would allow my phone to be a instant slingcatcher (pretty cool!)

The only ones i can't get to work in the slingplayer mobile app are home, "-", and "+". Is there a way to fix this? Like I said i'm running HTC Evo hw version 004 with Miui 1.4.15 and the kernel that comes with it (i believe it is 2.6.37.6-Tiamat_Evo-v3.3.5+)

Hi pikipirs, first of all great app!

I'm having some trouble with it on my Droid 2 though. I was able to connect to a wiimote last night, but it was after a few attempts.

It usually "finds" multiple wiimotes even though I only have one in "find" mode by pressing 1 and 2 simultaneously. Sometimes it seems I am lucky and it tries to connect to the correct Wiimote.

As of this morning I can't get it to connect whatsoever. Currently it finds 4 wiimote(s).

Here is what it says:
