I have searched everywhere I have WMWiFiRouter but it only does Ad Hoc for the Hot Spot. PSP only uses Ad Hoc for Game to Game, I have this posted over at PPCG as well and still no solutions. Playstation forums have come up with nothing as well. Google was a total bust. The only good thing out of all of this is I did find a blue tooh remote for the TP that works on the PS3, nice add on but not what I need. I am looking for a work around guys, I want to link the PSP to my TP's internet so I can link up with the PS3 while I am out and about. PayPal donation is up for grabs for a working solution.
sorry mods, company pc has issues, kill the extra thread please
I wonder if it isn't possible to use android phones as a remote for the WII. There are games which don't use the IR input, for example New Super Mario. In principle we have all sensors to play this game. Am I wrong?

Heck with the Wii. I want it to do my laundry
No other opinions?
Could it be done or not. If somebody has some information on this it would be great. Even if I am not a dev pro till now I am thinking of looking into this.

Yes
Yea its a simple blue tooth connection it should be possible to connect to the wii if you know the correct commands the question is it possible to write a program to output those commands as you enter them into the phone. Im sure it is heck at that point you could get the accelerator outputs to feed into the program and use it for wii bowling and the such... have at it.
I don't think so. Not unless you phone has infered.
The no infrared problem is something I like to look into if I ever get the connection between the wii and the phone. My question is ... has somebody ever connected anything except a wii remote with the wii. All attempts failed for me till now.
I'm still interested in this. So supprised that no one talks about this at all. There are plenty of game that dont need infrared.
It can be done but htc devices can have problem because "sense"
And samsung devices having problem with different bluetooth stacks i think.
Can be bluetooth stack problem with htc devices too

I too feel there is a need for this. I watch a lot of Netflix on my WII console, but I am often frustraded because my kids constantly lose the WII remotes or the batteries are often dead. Controlling from my phone would be grest for me
Same here. I already use HTC One as a TV remote.
Anyone find anything yet ? Theirs a app but doesn't work on android 4.2+

This might help you understand how Wiimote works

I know this thread is old as helllll, but I figured I'd bump it because I'm trying to devise a way to use my android in place of a wii mote. I have lost my wii mote, a few years ago when I was on 4.2 I believe it was, I scanned for the BT Mac address and used my android as a wii mote. But it would appear that lack of upkeep on this process is patched up. If I figure anything out I'll post update.
I know this is an old post, but did anyone get an android phone to work on the wii as a wiimote? with no ir?
Hey man! Take a look at this app in the playstore:
(mbhRemote)
In the first screenshot we can see a "WII" name.
See what you can do with this app and post us a reply. Thanx...
I doubt Nintendo would allow the use of non licensed tech. Why would they when they'd much rather have you go buy a new one? It would be a serious oversight on their part.
hey guys, i recently got a micro USB to full size adapter in hopes that i could run a generic game pad or flash drive to my DX2.. i understand the phone doesnt openly support OTG mode, but is there any way a ROM could potentially enable this for us? maybe by porting over (so to speak) the technology used in 3.1 which allows game pads?
1.) i am aware this question has been asked before (albeit, only a few times), i just want more awareness for this as i know of a lot of people who would find this feature to be most enjoyable.
2.) i know we can use a wiimote, but there are a lot of people out there who dont have a Wii and dont want to buy a wiimote that they can only use on their phone. This would enable everyone with a PS3/wired xbox controller/generic game pad/usb keyboard (a much larger percentage of people than the wiimote alone) to fully enjoy emulators on their phone.
if any devs are reading this, become a God in the android community and get us wired gamepad support! or if anyone else feels like i do, sound off and help get this feature recognized
That would be very nice. I happen to have a usb hub for ps2 controllers.

i know... im just having trouble getting it to work with Yongzh's emulators :/
I posted this in the accessories section, but I saw that this is the forum for the tips and tricks, so I am reposting it here, I do not meant to offend, simply to educate.
If your like me, and you can't afford any of the little gizmos that let you plug a USB into your Prime, or you don't want to root it or do anything complicated like that, you just want to play Shadowgun THD with a gosh darn controller...well if thats you, then I got some good news for you.
Do you have a Best Buy near you? If so go in, bring your pad, bring your SONY MADE PS3 controller (I hear it needs to be the actual one from Sony, can't be a Madcatz or any third party brand), and the USB cable, ask where the dock is, or find it yourself, hook up your pad, and plug it all in.
You just need to turn on your Primes Bluetooth, and plug it in the dock, then plug in the USB and hold the PS button, and BOOM, your good to go. I literally just did this.
If you don't have a Best Buy near you, try Staples, Office Depot, Radioshack, Target, Walmart, find a place that has the dock on display. Chances are they dont care. If they do, ask for the manager, or just go to a different store.
I hope this helped out all my fellow Tablet Gamers, have a great day! :highfive:

OR...
You can use Sixaxis Controller on Playstore for 2 bucks. It has a free app to test compatibility before you shell out the 2 bucks.
But that costs money. My method is free (minus gas cost) and hooks up your controller and tablet via Bluetooth without having to root or change Mac address, or download and pay for an app. :highfive: :good:
why did you make two post with same topic?

Hmm, given that I root my devices by default, it totally passed my mind that you need root for that app to work. But I suppose people willing to hook up a PS3 controller will be the kind who root anyway. I know it is $2, but that is a cheaper than the abysmal liquid that passes for coffee at Coffeebucks. Plus, you can do the same with your phones and other Android devices once you buy the app... No multiple trips to Bestbuy. Anyway, it is a good option for those with a dock, I must say! Nice hack you found there!

I think it'd cost the majority of people more in fuel costs then the 2 for the app.

Still cheaper than the $125 keyboard dock, or the other $35 USB attachment. Either way you look at it's you need a USB cable to connect the controller. This way you don't need to do anything to your tablet other than remove the rubber stoppers on either side of the charger plug in.
geez people. OP, thank you very much for your post on an alternate method that may be viable to some people. Your contribution is appreciated.
....was that so hard?
Well, it helped me!

Yeah, sheesh. I have the dock, and PS3 controllers. I've been using them hooked up via USB cable. Now that I've seen this, I'll use it by bluetooth. Thanks!
I know, so close to launch, it's difficult finding reviews and threads on support of third party accessories etc. My question is, "Has anyone successfully paired a Gamepad (wired or wireless) to the LG G5? If so, what was your method?"
I have had bad luck with rooting and bricking devices in the past, so I've avoided methods involving root access (regardless of whether rooting is available this early on).
My first attempt was with a Dualshock PS3 DS3 controller and an otg cable. Red lights blinked continuously, but no response. My second attempt was with a PS4 controller. Slightly better success. I was able to pair this wirelessly without root (holding PlayStation and share button momentarily). The result was a successful pair, but no UI response, much less any success on emulated games. It should be noted I did not get any response with an otg cable here as well.
I also tried these methods with a variety of Google Play apps, with similar results, as well as a Wii Remote (was grasping at straws at this point).
UPDATE: I purchased a Sminiker Bluetooth Gamepad and should receive it tomorrow to test with the LG G5. I chose the Sminiker Gamepad because it was the closest to PS controller I could get with Android OS support.
UPDATE: I have confirmation of the Sminiker Bluetooth Gamepad working successfully on an unrooted LG G5 : tested on PPSSPP, FPse, and MegaN64 emulators.
Still No Success

Spent the better part of last night and today working with bluetooth apps and settings to try and get any response from my gamepads. Still no success. Considering buying Android gamepad. Any suggestions? I've heard of Moga and a few others based on my research trying to successfully pair what I already own.
I wouldn't call this thread solved, no one in here has reported trying Xbox 360 or One controllers yet with OTG

I asked the question as the OP. I answered my question. Hence "Solved" lol. But feel free to start another thread regarding specific gamepads.

It's your thread. I just felt the spirit of the question was not "does buying an Android specific Bluetooth controller make you not need to leave a thread open for others to report if their commonly owned game system controllers work or not?"
Do your thing, I'm sure we'll figure it out elsewhere

That's why I put [solved], as in, "the original question has been answered, but feel free to comment and add more info on other supported devices, gamepads, emulators, etc."
Had this been your thread, how would you have handled it?
"We've all done things we regret. It's how you respond that defines who you are."
I guess I'm just nitpicking cuz I assume people aren't going to contribute to a thread marked solved. I can see your perspective. Hope I didn't come off too annoying.

Not at all. I'm still new to this site, so its possible I expected too much from the get go. Other forums I am in, I don't have to worry about others adding in after a thread is solved.
"We've all done things we regret. It's how you respond that defines who you are."
"Answered" instead of "solved" then? Lol

June last post, doubt it bro.
Sent from my LGE LG-H830 using XDA Labs
I use a nes30 pro controller, work like a charm works with and without root on different modes. May not be the type of controllers that you guys are looking for thou.
LG G5 controller question. Using MOGO Universal Driver.
1. My LG G5 has the MOGO Pro controller. It connects fine to the official bluetooth driver, but that only allows you to use the controller with MOGO games. This is incredibly stupid for MOGO to basically say only their game library matters. So I installed the official MOGO Universal Driver which of course does not find the controller at all. I don't know why, it doesn't even try, it just says there are no bluetooth devices. So...I'm out in the cold, I can't use this mogo universal driver and the official mogo games are garbage from the 90's.
2. XDA is a piece of garbage website when it comes to updating a password. I've tried for 15 minutes and when I fill in a new password it thinks I'm trying to log in and says "you have reached login attempt 4 of 5" then blocks me out. LAME. And then when it let's me log in using the password it automatically set and sent me TEN MINUTES LATER, it gives another error and wipes out what I had been typing: "Your submission could not be processed because you have logged in since the previous page was loaded."
Piece of trash website isn't making it possible for new users to get anything done, and it keeps redirecting to its home page instead of this forum. If anyone at XDA reads this, GET YOUR WEBSITE IN ORDER. /rant
