Lightbulb Xbox 360 Controller > NES Emulator > TV-Out

If someone can/has figured this out I'll buy you a beer.

Actually, you can't:

forum%xda-developers%com/showpost.php?p=7388551&postcount=7 (account not allowed to post links yet)

It is unclear to me whether this is because the Captivate lacks HID profile support, or because as a BT 3.0 device there is some kind of incompatability (I have heard both).

Sorry, never gonna happen. PS3 controller maybe but the 360 controller isn't BT, it uses a proprietary wireless standard.

Default Why Xbox or Playstation crap is way overpriced!

If you want to use your phone as an emulator that bad you might as well just pay the $10 for a cheapo BT controller. Don't you want something a lot smaller than a bigun PS3 or x360 controller, I'd think something micro would be better suited for travel.

Plus if you're going to be inside to use this (unless your TV is outside), why not just use a PC and out it at 1080 for the real deal? Or is it more for nostalgia
HTC Blue Angel - SX66 - SOLD
HTC Tornado - Orange c550 - SOLD
HTC Wizard - Cingular G3 - SOLD
HTC Kaiser - ATT - SOLD

Cool factor only. But it would be neat if I could use the video out to the TV at the shore house and play a game on that. No PC at my shore house:(

But they also have wired versions that use USB. I don't have a clue about this at all, so I don't know if that's even remotely possible, just throwing one more idea out there. Not as pretty of a solution but if the USB could be sized down to micro and plugged in... Probably not, like I said, just throwing it out there. Would definitely be cool though.

Not really possible because the USB doesn't have host support. If someone could write it into the kernel it would be awesome but then there would be many driver issues to arise.

I would just opt for a mini BT gamepad, I am thinking of getting one and loading some old SNES games on my phone.

Wait... is there an actual mini BT game controller that works? I would simply buy one now. Can you point us?

The zeemote looks complicated, you would think a wireless bluetooth snes style controller without axis controls would be simple enough, although I know everyone wants the ps3 for its controls. But this would be an awesome start.


Hopefully with more buttons than the wiimote so snes games play decent.
