Bluez IME: Use your Wiimote to Play Emulators

[Hypnotic2010]

Can anybody confirm if this works on the Epic with the Wii remote?? I know Wiimote never worked on Galaxy S devices, but this?


We’ve all seen old videos of people hacking various devices so they could use them in ways never meant to be used. While I can’t teach you how to wire your PS2 controller to drive your car, I can tell you that using your Wiimote to play Yongzh’s famous emulators. And believe it or not it’s incredibly simple. So, you’ve gotten Yongzh’s famous emulators for free and you want to really game. You have a phone without a physical keyboard and you’re sick of just playing RPGs. The virtual keyboard just doesn’t do Super Mario 64 justice, does it? Well, welcome in Bluez IME: The tool that’ll redo how you play emulators on your phone.


Step 1: Download Bluez IME from the Market. Sadly, the app only is confirmed to work with the following devices:


* HTC Desire 2.2
* HTC Desire 2.3.1 Oxygen
* HTC Evo
* HTC HD
* Samsung Captivate
* Samsung Galaxy S


If you don’t have one of those devices, try it out anyway. It may work. If not, email the dev and see if you can convince him to support your device.


Step 2: Go into your settings menu, select language and keyboard, and activate Bluez IME.


Step 3: Go into Bluez IME settings and activate Bluetooth. In the Select device driver menu, select Wiimote. Click Select Device and press scan. While it is scanning hit the sync button on your Wiimote (that red button right next to the batteries)


Step 4: Use the Select IME command in the settings to select Bluez as your keyboard. You may need to redo the syncing in step 3.
At this point, your phone should send you a message saying that a device as been connected. If not, redo step 3 and make sure all of the settings are correct.


You’ve got it connected now, you’re almost there!


Step 5: Go into your favorite emulator, and go to menu>settings>other settings. Make sure “Use input method” is checked. You can now go into your Input Settings and map the keys anyway you want! Enjoy your playing!
