GameStop Tablet Wireless Bluetooth Controller gamepad

---

Saw some threads about this in the A500 section, but anyone try this (or other) controller with the A100?

I'd love to see a list of games/apps that work with it.
I'm sure it works great with the emulators
I thought I had found the pairing/installation guide online, but now I can't find it again. So I posted the product description from GameStop's site below.

Gamestop's retail stores don't even know they are selling this online, but it's been available at least since last christmas season.

They are even planning to sell their own branded tablet for gaming.

Here's the details from their site...

The Wireless Tablet Game Controller is an incredible accessory only available at GameStop. Consumers can use it with their tablet and an HDMI cable (Micro to standard HDMI- sold at GameStop) to view their tablet games on their HDTV and play form their couch with the wireless controller (up to 30 feet away!). Definitely a new way to game!!

• Simple set up
• Bluetooth wireless technology
• Rechargeable unit with built in batteries and charging cable included
• Mapped control options let you assign buttons to the game actions you want
• Designed to work with select Android tablets

Works with Version 1.3 and above of GTA III, I know because I am running it on my A100. As for other games, I am not so sure.

I bought mine when i bought my a100 from gamestop before christmas.

I have used the controller with MAME4droid, Riptide GP, SpeedXGalagus and Cordy.

Riptide GP and Cordy came pre-installed by gamestop, don't know if that makes a difference or not.

controller has at least a 20 foot range as well, it works fine from across the living room with the a100 connected to the TV via hdmi cable. (SpeedXGalagus doesn't work with tv because of orientation).

only problem i have had is that the OS sees the controller as a keyboard, so some non games will refuse to show the onscreen keyboard if the controller is connected/bound.

You can get the keyboard to start poping up like normal. Same thing happens for me with bluetooth mouse. Just click the little keyboard icon down in the bar by the clock and select the keyboard you want to use, and toggle the little slider switch at the top of the menu. Then your keyboard will pop up like normal. You have to do it each time, but at least you get funtionality that way.
