Title: Wiimote Bluetooth Classic Controller working!
Post by: Puce Moose on July 17, 2012, 03:40:55 PM

Good news for those of you out there wanting to turn your little Nexus 7 into an emulation powerhouse. The wiimote controller apk works fine on the Nexus 7, allowing you to connect a Wiimote + classic controller via bluetooth to your nexus. Using Nesoid, the wiimote controller app, and about fifteen minutes of patience/settings adjustment, I was able to play Kid Icarus with my classic controller on the Nexus. Don't forget to enable bluetooth on the Nexus, as I believe it is disabled by default.

Thanks for the tip! will definitely give that a try when I get home.  I have a used sixaxis PS3 controller that I bought to use with the games that will accept it, but the left joystick sticks.  I look forward to playing my emulated games with the original controllers.

Hi all
I am trying to get the Wiimote to work with emulation. i downloaded wiimote and it was able to find my wii controller, i then downloaded nesoid and a rom of super mario bros 3 for nes, couldn't get the game to see the remote. I then followed directions from youtube and used john nes lite and still no go. Can anyone explain the steps involved? The wiimote connects to the n7 fine, i think. just can't get it to the game.

Thanks Ed

So coooool. Running dosbox turbo, playin them bad old dos games. Sidescrollers like Vinyl Goddess of Mars. Hint- some of the really old joysticks plugged into the sound card so map the KB buttons instead.

Might even put win 98 on here. O/s2?. I've got windows 1.5 on floppies somewhere....

Didn't mean to hijack, too excited.

 Was looking for a Bluetooth dpad, saw this thread. Have a Wii I only played links crossbow training on.
Didn't realize the controllers were Bluetooth!

 This makes all the difference- the touch screen controls are horrible for most games.
How about a list of android games the controller works with?

Some of the newer Wii pads won't work, try to test at store. You might find used ones at Movie Traders on this side of the puddle.

Update: the 4.2.1 os messed up the wiimote. Waiting for my fix.
