Default Wii remote

I remember hearing something about using one with the fascinate. Can I use any remote? I'd like a lot if buttons for my emulators.

Someone has written a driver for it. Last time I checked, it wasn't free. But, I've heard it works. Never tried it myself. You can find it in the Market by searching wii remote.

It works with AOSP based ROMs, there was another thread in this very forum about it... You need the app from the market by the way, you can't pair with it through settings.

DONATE TO ME
Now that the 2.2 OTA update is out... Which BT gamepads/Wiimote will work?

Will we still have to root/load a custom ROM to get it to work?

I'd be psyched to go buy a Wiimote if it will work w/Fascinate now that 2.2 has finally been released (officially).

You still need to use an aosp rom, the ota froyo update still has the Touchwiz bluetooth stack which still doesn't work.
Verizon Galaxy S III - CM10 nightlies, insecure bootloader.
Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8013) - CM10
Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (P7510) - AOKP (selling)
Samsung Fascinate - retired, CM10 (it flies!)

Honestly, you should try one out. The only things broken in froyo aosp roms are bluetooth calling, camcorder, and mms. Everything else works pretty well and aosp roms are so much faster than Touchwiz roms, just try out MIUI or Cyanogenmod 6.2, they're both amazing.

I tried it and loved it for a month, but eventually not being able to send/receive mms and the flash not working most of the time lead me right back into the community rom when that came out.
