using Wii remote with s3

**funkylogik** · 11-14-2012, 11:46 AM

i downloaded Wiimote Controller app yday and played with it for a second just navigating the launcher etc.
does anyone use it for gaming?
im wondering, if i use the nunchuck, will i be able to map the buttons to play a game like Dead Trigger?
would be prety cool with phone plugged into tv, music off and headphones on eh?

Lol I use my PS3 controller to play games

The most epic thing would be able to wirelssly use the controller to play via bluetooth, then connect my GS3 to my HDTV using the MHL adapter....it be like having another console

you can do it this. I did it rooting my phone, but I believe there is an option if you dont want to root it. I am not sure as I tried to do it and it didnt work for me.

I play Megaman 7 and final fantasy VII for ps1 on my HDTV using my phone as console

One of the many reasons I kept my Galaxy S3.

Ugh I hate that everything has to be done with rooting

I will look into the Wii remote because I only have 2 in the house and Mario kart is great fun with my kids. I can join in and use my phone. Yay

Sixaxis Controller: is the actual app that you use for configuring the Dual Shock controller. There's a free app that you can use to see if it'll work on your phone.
It works great with the MHL adapter and the screen mirrored on a big TV.

That app requires the phone to be rooted

**gilbequick** · 11-20-2012, 03:29 PM

Why don't you want to root?

I want to keep my OTA updates and also want to keep all the Samsung features (WiFi Direct, "Smart" features, Kies Air)

Even with flashing there are a lot of roms that keep those features and add many more. The only ones where you lose it are aosp (kind like on galaxy nexus). Other than that probably more than 80% keep those features.

And I have a ps3 remote and I'm rooted. I think you need the usb.otg thingy to connect them wirelessly. Can't remember though.

I use WiiMote controller, once it's sync'd with your device you need to select it as a keyboard/input device.
