[Q] Wii mote and the fascinate!

[kamakazman]

has anyone got it to work yet? if so did you have to root for whatever reason? i'm asking because I don't want to go buy a wii mote without knowing for sure i can use it.

 

[Florynce]

It doesn't work on mine...

 

[tjhart85]

From what I've read, there is no support for HID in Samsungs bluetooth stack, meaning no keyboards, mice, wiimotes, etc. until someone (possibly Samsung themselves) rectifies this problem.

I'm hoping Froyo will fix this problem...

I'm hoping Froyo will fix this problem...

Or a good ROM

I'm just curious as to why and what you would use a Wiimote for?

 

[sonofskywalker3]

using an app from the market you can use the wiimote as a bluetooth game controller. the only reason i used it on my D1 was to play emulators. it was loads of fun to put it in the dock on my desk at work and play nes games using the wiimote as a controler. and you can even connect a nunchuck or classic controller to play snesoid or psx4droid. technically you can map it to any keyboard key, so you could use it for any application that allows for keyboard or softkey input.

Is there a solution to this yet?

 

[Benew0]

Solution

Sorry no solution until Froyo comes out. Froyo supports HID thus the same reason why Cyanogen Mod 6.1 also supports it. I hope now that the Epic has had Froyo released Verizon will get competitive and get it out of the door, I'm excited to attach my apple blue tooth keyboard to it for note taking in class.

Can use a Zeemote ZS1 with our phones though. Need to use the MMG GamePro driver. Works in emulators though. Kind of a ***** to setup. Haven't tried any ZeeMote native games yet.

Zeemote Option

I can personally attest to the Zeemote working. After paying $17.45USB (10.78 British pounds) to purchase one off of Ebay and wait for shipping, I then paid Gamepro $9.95 for the registration code for my particular bluetooth profile. So, if having decent emulator gaming is worth $27.40, go for it!!

The wiimote is working great for me in Vanilla Froyo 0.9.3.

FYI: You use the wiimote controller app to pair, not the regular bluetooth settings.

How? What did you do?

 

[EnigmaCurry]

How? What did you do?

1. I installed Vanilla Froyo
2. I installed the Wiimote controller app
3. I connected my wiimote through the wiimote app NOT the bluetooth settings dialog (ie, no need to pair)
4. I installed nesoid, chose the wiimote input mode in the preferences, and mapped my key bindings.
5. profit!

 

[exnihilo]

will it work with any other Froyo release (EB01, EC10), or only source-built/AOSP?

From what I understand it's AOSP only because it's the bad samsung bluetooth stack that's the problem in the first place. Vanilla Froyo has really grown up though, it's a very stable and featureful rom now.

 

[critofur]

Could somebody who already has a Wiimote tell us if it works w/the 2.2 OTA update that was (finally) just released?

 

[Shinebox]

Nope doesn't work

 

[iofthestorm]

You can use any aosp based rom such as vanilla, cyanogenmod, or MIUI. But anything with Touchwiz bluetooth stack won't work.
