Question ... does the BGP100 work with Touch Pro, and if so, how does it perform?

The Wii remote uses IR and the Touch Pro has no IR port...

It works - but it doesn't perform well.

The one big improvement, is that the Touch Pro has so much ram that it won't dump the program that runs in the background - while you're playing a processor intensive game like neo geo. This would happen with my 6700.

But I was hoping I could easily use this with my TV Out cable to play games from the couch. But there's next to no range. I've done it, but the phone has to be in my lap and the controller in my hands.

There's extremely minor bluetooth lag. Usually you don't notice it, but every once in a while it kills your combination or timing.

The build quality is terrible. The button to lock the controller in place cracks the first time you try to open up the "arms" without unlocking it first. And it will happen because it's hard to tell how it's set. The d-pad has popped out and the tabs that hold it in cracked. It'll sometimes pop out, but it still works - it's just loose. The other buttons sometimes get stuck "in" - and you have to pop them out with a pen or pencil.

Again, I wouldn't recommend it unless you find it really cheap (I paid $30 3 years ago) - and expect low performance.
