[Nexus One Themes and Apps] The Boo:
Extension in WM1 was not recognized.

Hi, i just bought a controller off ebay, and i'm getting this message.

here is the link to the controller:

i couldn't post the link:

h t t p ://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250630454457&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

i've tested the wii remote, and it works fine, but the classic controller part doesn't work. I borrowed a friends original classic white controller, and it works fine with the wii black controller, so the only part that isn't working is the black classic controller, and judging from the back of it and comparing it to the original, it does not appear to be an official nintendo controller, but a knock off. I decided to purchase another official white classic controller, but i do prefer the black color..

if you like, i'd be happy to ship you this black classic controller for testing purposes since i don't even own a wii, i only bought the controller for the app. If you have luck maybe you can figure out whats wrong with this knock off, and if you get it working just ship it back :D

or i can just donate some money for you to buy one for yourself for testing. Please let me know.

By the way, the order of operations that happens is.. the wii controller connects fine, if you press the buttons you get the "Released button WM*->*" message, but i connect the wii black classic controller, and no message appears... but the wii controller still functions. The moment i disconnect the wii black classic controller, i get the full message :

Extension in WM1 was not recognized. Try plugging in again

Extension was removed from WM1

HDMI on android devices is only for videos (as far as I've been informed). It's not like TV-out where the phone's display was simply mirrored. So unless some geniuses at xda figure out how to mirror, or there is a way for game developers to implement "HDMI-out", gaming through HDMI is a no-go.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. And welcome to the forums!

I've sent you a private message.

hi all, joined up to the forum specifically for this app.

i currently have an htc magic, i understand the app doesnt work with the magic but i am due for a handset upgrade soon and would like for my next phone to be able to run this app as it looks like so much fun.

the problem is; i have come very attatched to my htc android phone and would quite like another, which is a shame as it seems that most htc's can't use this app, and i feel if i switch to another phone other than an htc i will not like the phone.

basicly, im looking for a bit of feedback from users of other handsets which can run this app and a bit of assurance that i am likly to 'get on' with a phone other than an htc.

thanks

p.s i also havnt yet got my head around the whole "routed" and "Éclair rom (2.2.1)" stuff yet, am i right in thinking these are upgrades available for my device?

sorry its gone a bit off topic.

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r2001uk:
I had an issue where I had checked 'use input method' but it still wasn't registering.

Turns out I had to go into button mappings and assign the inividual controls there. Probably a no-brainer but for some reason I just assumed they would already be mapped :o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jerhoyet:
Not going to lie to you, I love you....

Hahaha, I was looking for something like this for months! Thanks!! :-]
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] footboydog:
Amazing! Works great on my stock Nexus One with Nesoid. I would definitely pay for a full version in the Market. Perhaps you could work with the Nesoid/Snesoid devs so that your app can be launched from within theirs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] VinceThePrince:
Amazing job! Works flawlessly, I made an account on these forums just to congratulate you! ...and also to suggest making a PS3 controller work, since the WiiMote is pretty limited when it comes to # of buttons, and it has an awkward layout. Can't wait for the full version of this, and I hope you consider making the PS3 version soon!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] level5music:
Straight up, if you can get a PS3 controller working, you've got this guy as a paying customer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GNja:
I was in the car yesterday for a roadtrip, and I use my phone for my music and gps. This was in my family car. In my go-fast car I have a remote for my radio and I started missing it.

What I would love to see is a more compact BT device able to be used in the car. I think the Wiimote is a bit too awkward, but I also think you are on the start of something big if you can develop a smaller form factor for N1/Android/BT phone control.

I have not yet played with this, but I've kept my eye on the thread. With that said I am unsure exactly how this works but I would want the ability to activate voice control, music controls, and scroll and select. I've gotten the impression that is possible with the current build. (?)

I do have one question: can the N1 support multiple BT connections?

@pikipirs

This has really great potential! Well done, I've written something up for the front page..btw have you seen this?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Unquestionable:
Great project pikipirs!

It's too bad that I don't own a Wii anymore so I can't try this. If you down the road manage to implement support for the Sixaxis/Dualshock 3 I'll definitely pay for this though. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bcpk:
Very exciting work, keep it up!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zephyron:
simply amazing good work, i hope there can be a ps3 control support in the future =)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HunteronX:
Absolutely Brilliant - Using it with my Xperia X10 now on 1.6 Donut - playing Gameboid. :) I'd definitely pay for this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Thanks for all the kind words!! Believe me I am working hard to make it to the Market. The thing is that my country is not on the Google Checkout for Merchants list and as a result I can not publish any payed apps, only free ones.

Support for the Sixaxis controller might be possible but that controller is a bit more picky about its master and it might not work on most of android devices. Also -- I don't have it :)

Manufacturing a smaller controller is not very likely.. But some bluetooth driving wheel clip-ons may already exist out there... If they support a common interface (like HID or SPP) I might very well be able to make an application for them.

I think most actions you listed are possible. I will definitely consider adding a feature to map wiimote buttons to those actions.

N1 should support multiple Bluetooth connections however there might be issues. There are some known that cause for example audio over bluetooth to skip. If someone has a car with bluetooth and a wiimote, please test and report back if they work at the same time without skip nor lag.

Yes I've seen that. As I said, I'm working fast to gain ability to offer paid apps on the Market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HunteronX:
I've written an email to someone named Ryan Frawley who developed a Wii Controller demo application on the market, and told him about your work, saying that I might be a good idea for you to combine your ideas and create a new app for the market - would that be possible?

Ryan's application is a kind of debugging tool at the moment, that allows multiple simultaneous controller connections, which I think is a feature you want to include in your application.

Hope this helps and good luck! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Boten Anna:
I would definitely buy this, especially if you had a widget that could do one-touch switching between Wiimote and Keyboard IME modes that also toggles bluetooth (and of course it didn't shut it off after 30 minutes ;D)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HunteronX:
I agree :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ti-89rox:
would love to see this come into fruition. keep us posted :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ryan Frawley:
It appears that this has been answered...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bpm009:
I have the HTC Eris with Android 1.5 and i can't seem to get the wiimote to work? Does it not work with 1.5 and is there any way you could create a version for 1.5. I was so excited to hear of this idea and sad when it said it couldn't be installed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bpm009:
This is for Ryan Frawley. I heard about your app in the market but was unable to find it? is it still there or am i just searching wrong?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ryan Frawley:
It's under the name "Wii Controller Demo", but please send me a PM instead of going off topic in this thread!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] garyfrench1:
ok, i have just uninstalled the wii controller app and re-installed it.

Just donated for the PS3 controller!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Thanks!

"Only" about 25€ to go...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r2001uk:
Piki, sorry I kinda disappeared back when I testing, I just became very busy and had less and less time. I hope you got what you needed from someone else though, the app seems to work fine :)

As a thank you for providing such an awesome app, also for the brilliant LWP you just created too, and to help you on your way to hopefully developing a PS3 app, I'm about to finally get round to donating. I trust it should be enough to be of use :)

Thanks again and keep up the great work :)

Rob

edit: aaand done, enjoy!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
You're amazing! Thanks a million!

Just to inform you all, I'm going to a vacation next week and I won't be around for two weeks (no internet where I'm going). After I get back, I'll probably start working on the PS3 support.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Shadomastr:
You wrote here that the app doesn't work with the magic. Does the magic run sense? Later in you're next post you said you got the app running on the magic. Did you load a stock rom?Running sense on my hero now and unfortunately htc has managed to screw up the bluetooth real nicely with sense... Bummer
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Shadomastr:
sorry for some reason I thought that the magic ran sense

My bad
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
Excuse my ignorance.

I've been looking on eBay and various other sites for a cheap BT controller or keyboard (I obviously don't have a Wii)

Yes, I've seen the Datel Classic controller, but I was looking for something a little thinner and more portable. I came across some mini bluetooth keyboards which I know can only be synced with Android Phones using an app called KeyPro. The app is free, however you have to buy a $10 driver for it to work, and its quite unstable and laggy.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.37863

This is a particular keyboard I had my eye on. It's a tiny bit shorter, a little bit wider and a little bit thinner than the N1. It would be perfect to attach something to it to allow me to dock my N1 on it for typing/gaming.

Since there is some limitation in Android for HID support, I was just wondering if the app you've developed pikpirs can possibly allow support for keyboards:confused:

Perhaps the keyboards could be paired and then registered as controllers?

Is it plausible or is it an entirely different ball-game to the Wii controller?

I'm not sure, just hopeful. I would love to buy that mini keyboard and dock it on my N1 when typing a long email or playing some GBA/Psx on-the-go.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
If you've rooted your Nexus, then you can set up an HID daemon and use that to connect a bluetooth HID keyboard. It works quite well.

Tutorials can be found around these forums somewhere. The daemon is called HIDD.

unknown extexsion cc pro

hi pikipirs, first, many thanks for the excellent app, 1 of the best app imho. however, i too hv this error that unknown extension after connecting knock off classic controller pro from ebay. Could u pls hv a look when free? attached is the screenshot of the error. thanks again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
So without root, bluetooth keyboards are a no go?

I would have thought there would be a hack of some sort that disguises a BT keyboard as a controller or wiimote. Of course there is nothing available now.

But is it possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nseminatore:
Bluetooth Keyboard

anyone know if its possible to use the ps3 bluetooth keyboard with the rooted N1?

im using latest kangorama rom

ive done some searching but nothing so far
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Thanks!

See people? It's VERY important for you to write the EXACT and FULL message that you get. That little code in the screenshot that [so]hai® posted above, helps VERY much because it tells a lot of things to me. Right now I'm too busy preparing for vacation so I can not fix it. But when I get back, we will try to get it working.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GigaExplosivo:
I have a Google Android 3G MyTouch and I am having latency issues with the Wii Controller.

When I press a button on the wiimote it'll take 2-4 seconds before it is registered in the game.

Is there a setting I can change to fix this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xiophyte:
My WIImote mod

Hey,

Modded a wiimote and classic controller so i can mount my N1 and okay at the same time.

Wiimote is secured to the classic controller and added a screw at the top to tighten down the N1 while i'm playing so nothing jiggles around. Works pretty great!

Hope you all enjoy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bcpk:
Looks good, will probably try something similar with the PS3 controller when that is supported. Might try a cheap car dock to hold it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
You can fix this by unchecking "High thread priority" in the app's preferences. For this setting to take effect, you need to cycle the connect-disconnect procedure (including selecting and deselecting the WiimoteControllerIME) at least twice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Just to let you all know, I will not be available up to July 12. I hope that the community can take over answering questions while I'm gone.

My god this is awesome! Coupled with SNESoid this makes for some awesome retro gaming :D

When I get out of my overdraft I will add you to my list of people to donate to :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] h_zee13:
first of all i would like to thank OP for this great app

I wanted to know how I can use more than one controller. i did connect the controllers correctly, but i cant seem to play any games with 2 controller.

for example i have SNESOID and wanna play mortal kombat. how to i use both controllers to play against another player?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xxmonsterx:
im very eager to see the ongoing development of the dualshock 3 support, hope to hear from op soon

It may be because of TouchWiz in the same way that it doesn't work on HTCSense phones.

Question - does flashing to a different ROM fix the compatibility issues with the sense devices?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bcpk:
Yes, if the new ROM doesn't have Sense ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Nick_Hrh:
How will this work with a 3:rd party wii remote?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] islanda73:
I know that this app is awesome but sadly its doesnt work on samsung moments... Yet. But how are you going to get PS3 controllers you have to plug it in via usb to pair it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
The idea is to use a PC to pair and then you'd be able to sync it with the phone. That of course means that you'll have to pair every time you would use the controller with the PS3.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] oOamnesiaOo:
Also not working yet on Samsung Captivate (SGH-I897) Stock ROM with or w/o root.

fun stuff though! I would love to see it working on this nice 4in AMOLED!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psych2l:
Just an fyi, cyanogen was able to replace the proprietary bluetooth stack with blueZ for sense phones and got the wiimote app working on the evo. Just something to look forward to if your device will be supported by CM6 :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Yeah. Thanks for the update.

what files are needed fpr sense? wanna try on desire

pikpirs: hows the funds coming along for a ps3 pad?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Funds are there, I just need to get myself to the nearest gadget store. I think I might do that tommorow. Too much heat today.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] psych2l:
There is no sense, its an AOSP rom. Wiimote should already work on the bravo build of CM6 for the desire.

Hope to see ps3 pad support soon as well, those datel controllers are surprisingly hard to find :/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bcpk:
Apparently the Datel controllers eat through batteries too, so I just bought a Dualshock in anticipation :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
My Datel controller is working just fine with the same batteries.

People: don't buy dualshocks in advance! Even if I anounce that I'm going to make support, even if I buy it, there is still no warranty of any kind, that it will ever be possible. Buy dualshocks after confirmed support. It's not like they are going out of stock any time soon :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bcpk:
Hehe, the DS3 I bought was pre-owned and the cheapest I'd ever seen them for so I didn't want to miss a bargain ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drsprite:
Hey pikipirs,

I created a ticket at HTC regarding Sense and my Incredible and not being able to pair HID devices. Their reply was that a 3rd party programmer should be able to release an app to do this and they didn't include it in their release because it's an option not intended for the phone.

The ticket said that this functionality is not native to the phone, but should be possible through third party programming.

Sounds like a Sense UI ability to pair the Wii remote is somewhat possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zanix:
Good work, I'll try this on a Droid X later today

Also donated $5 in hope for PS3 controller support
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] therealnoname:
looks like it doesn't work on t-mobiles version of the Galaxy S the Samsung vibrant
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gawis:
found your application yesterday and tested yesterday with CMH (CyanogenMOD for Hero) 5.0.8 and it works great

tested today with Froyd Villain (FroYo for Hero) and it work great too (just restored both your app and Gensoid with Titanium)

I am really interested in the PS3 support so am gonna follow this thread daily now to see how it will work out :)

All your efforts are greatly appreciated and I will chip in in the near future.

Confirmed working on HTC hero with froydvillian v1.0.0
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darkcovers:
I was wondering the same thing. I have two controllers connected correctly.

Can't figure out how to play with both controllers though.

It only detects the first wiimote in the emulator.

Do the emulators not detect multiple controllers yet?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] apristel:
Works Excellent on EVO with CM6
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
If you have two wiimotes connected (both display events in the WiimoteController app, and those events start with WM1 and WM2 depending on the wiimote), then you're all set.

To configure the emulator, run it, go to Settings->Key mappings. Here you map your keys for the first player. Then near the bottom of this menu, you have a "Pad 2" section. You need to enable it, and then select the second "Key mappings" that gets enabled. In here, you map keys for your second wiimote.

Of course then you also need games that are two-player enabled. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hydralisk:
Hey, now that CM6 is out for EVO, I've been able to use my wiimote for my emulators. This is great, but unfortunately the wiimote isn't the best for SNES games as you need 4 buttons easily accessible while moving... and the wiimote only has 2. The A button, and the one on the back are hard to press when holding the controller sideways.

My question is, will this app ever support the wiimote classic controller, or some other wireless controller with more buttons (PS3?) I would be willing to donate quite a bit of monies if this were possible, as I love doing what I can to encourage development efforts :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DarkFoxDK:
Have any one tested this on the leaked Sense/FroYo release for HTC Desire?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Have you tried it with the classic controller? It should work, it's been working for a long time now :)

Also, the Datel Retro Wireless Controller works too.. Just make sure you have the original (no knockoffs, those cause problems, same holds true for classic controllers and wiimotes).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] g11489:
Can confirm it works on HTC g1 UN-rooted stock 1.6 rom :)

Amazing work! only problems are the delay as described in the bugs on Snesoid, but gameboid and android games seem to work prefectly so long as Wifi is off.

Keep up the good work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BicolXpress:
I've got a rooted legend running ali baba's indigo cyanogen 5.08 rom. I've made a connection (phone with wiimote cont) but i cant get it to control the games on gameboid. tried setting the key maps to no avail.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikipirs:
Have you followed directions? Specifically, have you enabled WiiControllerIME after connecting the wiimote (the second button)?

If you have, then is the Wiimote able to control some other aspects of the Android system? For example, go to SMS messages, start a new message, put focus in a message box and try pressing "1" or "2" on the wiimote. 1 and 2 characters should appear on the screen (with the default mapping of course).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r2001uk:
The title of this thread mentions the Classic Controller! Both versions work perfectly too - the regular and the pro.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r2001uk:
Aside from what Pikipirs suggests, also make sure that the 'Use Input Method' setting is ticked in the emulator's settings. Then you can go ahead and map your keys :)
