Hey guys,
This isn't really specific to the Transformer itself, but kinda specific to HC. I figured with all the awesome emulators available for Android and how awesome they run on Tegra 2 (N64oid works great!), I'd try to find a nice bluetooth controller that works with Android.
Specifically I'd like one with analog sticks. Not sure if a good driver has been written yet for this, but if so, I figured someone on here would know.
The best setup I've found so far from my research would be to use a WiiMote with a Classic controller pro plugged into it. That setup might be a bit expensive though (~$40). I own Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers already, so I was hoping there would be a solution for one of those two (but not looking likely from my research).
Here is my ideal setup: Transformer + emulators (n64oid, snesoid, etc.) + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller = a bunch of old school consoles that can run on a portable machine that can be connected to a TV and also that has a wireless controller
Try this one http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/Wii-Wireless-Retro-Controller___EF000622.aspx
I use "wiimote controller" app. available on market for free, with classic controller plugged into wiimote. You can then use snesoid etc. to setup the buttons.
Played mario kart and zelda on snesoid using the dpad and the usual buttons but not sure if analog controllers work as have not tried them yet. Don't see why they shouldn't though.
Have a look at this..http://www.roms4droid.com/wii.php

^^^ That seems to me like the best setup. You can get an older edition of the wiimote for ~$20 and Amazon sells the Classic Controller Pro for I think ~$15 right now.
The controller I posted above is just like the classic pro but without the need to tether it to the wiimote.

But will that sync with the Wiimote app?

Have you ordered one from codejunkies? I placed an order through Amazon, but it's going to take a month to deliver. Wondering if codejunkies is any faster or if they are just a front end to the same manufacturer/wholeseller.
Edit - oh, I see that is actually a slightly different product. I thought it was the Datel controller. I wonder if it is as compatible as the Datel seems to be.
The one on amazon is the datel I just ordered it.

Man, wished I searched Amazon before I ordered one from CodeJunkies in UK. Still havent received my controller yet. I ordered over a week ago.
would it be possible to use another android device as a controller?
Good news, when we get the 3.1 update, it will support a "ridiculous" amount of usb devices, including the Xbox360 controller.

Do you think these devices would work via the proprietary charge cable with a female to female usb adapter? That would rock.
I hope there will be some sort of support for the 360 wireless adapter. I dont want to buy a wired controller when i already have the adapter and two wireless controllers!
3.1 Platform Hightlights:
Support for joysticks and gamepads
To make the platform even better for gaming, Android 3.1 adds support for most PC joysticks and gamepads that are connected over USB or Bluetooth HID.
For example, users can connect Sony Playstation™ 3 and XBox 360™ game controllers over USB (but not Bluetooth), Logitech Dual Action™ gamepads and flight sticks, or a car racing controller. Game controllers that use proprietary networking or pairing are not supported by default, but in general, the platform supports most PC-connectible joysticks and gamepads.

Great news! The number of controllers compatible with Android is seriously lacking.
Hi guys and girls.
I have just brought a transformer prime and have to say it is awesome, but I have one question, as an it consultant i do a lot of work remotely something I am currently doing using a laptop with windows rdp.
Can anyone recommend a solid fast rdp client for my droid so I can finally kick the windows laptop into touch.
I would prefer a free one but dont mind paying and the only criteria is that it can connect to VNC\RDP connections with Network Level Authentication(NLA) and actually be useable to control windows and linux boxes.
Thanks in Advance
I have been using splashtop and it runs great, all of the hardware that i have tried out so far has worked like the touchpad. it also lets you log in with your google account so you dont have to mess with port forwarding and dynamic dns, it just finds it automatically. its pretty cheap too from what i remember. I use it almost daily. in fact i believe the splashtop server is available directly from ASUS's site.
i believe it does do RDP but if you are looking for a strictly RDP client then i think remote desktop client by xtralogic might suit you better i believe it runs about $15. not sure on the linux boxes for either client tho.
maybe someone else might know of a good free one or something that might work a little better. usually most of them have a free version or a 15-30 day trial.

Thanks will give them a go any other ideas people
In my experience, Xtralogic is the best! I paid full price for it and it's damn worth it
Best mouse + keyboard integration I've seen or imagined.
Of course if you want to do gaming instead of office work, Splashtop THD has you covered.

My money is on Jump Desktop. Tried them all and this is the best. VNC and RDP. Full mouse support incl. right click and scroll wheel. Works great with the dock keyboard.

Hi,
I'm going to buy SS official MHL cable, but I would like to know whats the best option for me to control my moble?
Actually I just want to sit on my couch/bed and watch some video content.
Should I use a mouse + keyboard? Is it actually good? I think ICS navigation by mouse is not good...
Should I use another phone/android as a controller? Is there any application?
Should I just buy a longe HDMI cable?
I want to hear people solution!
Best regards,

How about Allshare Cast? It's a HDMI dongle for your television wich can wirelessly mirror your phone on the screen. So you can keep the phone in your hands/pocket while watching =)
It's not too cheap though with ~90$.
There are other clients for remote viewing, including homebrew-stuff based on the Raspberry Pi micro-computer.

That's an easy+cheap solution altough not the most practical one.

It's terrible since it's designed for touch input.

This is the more pratical solution, but is there any comparison between MHL vs all share cast? I don't know about the overhead in phone performance, image quality, wifi bandwidth during the streaming, etc

Ive seen those, they are all very limited! If we choose wlan screen share, the samsung own solution is the best one atm.
Afaik it uses Wifi direct, so no worries for overloading your router. That would mean you sacrifice wifi connectivity though.

Hi i am looking for a Bluetooth mouse for this tablet! anyone knows a good one?
I personally will be using my Logitech V470. I recommend it, but it doesn't look like they sell them new anymore (looks like they're going for about $25-30 on eBay)

Honestly, any logitech mouse would be the best to use. They're incredibly reliable. You could even use an adapter (USB OTG cable) and buy a logitech usb mouse and keyboard for added functionality.
Recommended bluetooth mouse? = YOUR ANDROID SMARTPHONE
Google playstore: DroidMote Client (free) on your phone
Google playstore: DroidMote Server (paid) on your tablet (granted, you need to have your tablet rooted... a given when you're an XDA visitor)
The app is 3 bucks vs. whatever you'll end up paying for new hardware...boom! You just saved money.
Enjoy!

If you can't buy the remote from anywhere, then I would either recommend the Gamepad or using a remote app (official or Droidmote) on a cell phone or tablet.

Does anyone know if the 2015 Amazon Fire TV 4K remote works?
It uses WiFi Direct so I'm doubtful, but I would buy one if it worked.
Man what's with everyone using that WiFi blocking WiFi direct crap? I sold my roku stick over that crap, broadcasting as an access point on the same channel as my router and blocking WiFi. They created Bluetooth for this type of stuff might as well use it.
And I'm going to go with no, as the shield controller also uses WiFi direct and reports have indicated that the shield controller won't pair with the nexus player

The Shield controller won't work but the Shield remote does. I own both and have used my Shield remote on my Nexus Player just fine because it uses Bluetooth
Asus Parts Store: http://us.estore.asus.com/collections/accessories/products/nexus-player-remote-04090-00160300
Yeah I did find that eventually but for that price you might as well just buy a whole new player

I use the chines flying remote (buy a good one for $12) it has selections to fly point or to just standard remote. You attach with a small usb dongle provided with remote and has plus you can use with those app that require touch or mouse control. all in one.
This is the one I use ...but there is more... http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/262410582053?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

I know I'm about 2 years too late but wifi direct remotes wont interfere with your wifi, even if they are on the same channel. You only get wifi interference if both are being used at the same time, so you only get a fraction of a second of interference when you press a button on the remote.
haw somebody bought something cheap that worked with nexus player?
stock remote is garbage..
The Harmony hub isn't cheap but it's great if you need a universal remote. I got it for $80 CAD during Black Friday.
It has BT and it works well with NP. It's what I'm using now.
