Post by whitebird »

Hey, atm I'm gaming with some friends and we are one controller short. So I thought that maybe my phone could be use as the controller. Just an idea I had :)

I moved this thread to the right forum place.
I don't plan to work on android support :(
Maybe someone else will work on it.

I've got a HTC Desire and I've thought of coding an Android version but I've chose C# over Java so ... there is little to no code that can be reused. Also I'm not an expert in blueteath so I'm not sure if the devices MAC can be changed ...

tho with a rooted device like mine it could be possible

Currently working on this. It is very easy... imagine having a ps3 controller in your pocket at all times. It can utilize Bluetooth (which is what I currently want to finish before release). It will be available on android market for free soon :)

Hi, I'm a programmer from Brazil, and me and some friends have the same idea. I just want to know where I can start learning something about the protocols, the libs, how the communication is done, etc... and maybe we may help you! Thanks and good luck with the project! I'm looking forward to see it on Google Play! :D

That's a brilliant idea!
Really looking forward using my Oppo find 5 to control the movies I watch on my ps3!
If you need beta testers count me in ^^
