[idea] Wiimote on smarthpones?

[DiemetriX]

The Touch Diamond dosn't have any enough buttons to make it a good game phone (emulators etc). But wouldn't it be posible to sync the wiimote with the phone? Syncing it with a PC is easy.

Just an idea. Would be a cool app that isn't entirely useless ^^

How would you sync it? With what hardware?

[nick_karstedt]

The Wiimote uses bluetooth. I think the guy that did the software for the pc made it open source, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult for someone that knows what they're doing.

In theory it's just to make a program that syncs the wiimote to the phone via bluetooth and then let you map different input to different buttons.

[derekwilkinson]

Oh, didn't know it used Bluetooth. That's pretty cool. Would it just be for buttons or some sort of cursor control?

[DiemetriX]

Just for button presses.
You could connect a classic controller or to get a snes emulator playable with all buttons mapped.

I got this working on my N95 8gb already and it is good. The N95 has TV out too and a decent graphic chip.....runs quake GL on my tv with Wii remote as controls very well.

I would LOVE this for my ameo!

Not sure if this is portable to winmo in any way.....
