Tomasz Sterna has shared a
guide and video of a Nokia N900 running an SNES emulator with a PS3 Sixaxis controller.
This demonstration comes not long after other recent N900 developments, including the release of
Open Remote Play (ORP) v1.3 for the Nokia N900 and a
Control the PS3 with a Nokia N900 via BlueMaemo video.
To quote from the video's caption: "Video demonstration of setup allowing to play emulated games on Nokia N900 using PS3 Sixaxis controller."
Those interested can check out the video below of a Sony PlayStation 3 controller hooked up to the Nokia N900 to play SNES games!
Play from external HDD & play it on HDMI,cause i've been told GTA IV gives black screen if you play it from AV cable,i just tried the Complete Edi...
but i tell you it is not as easy as it looks
got a working connection between phone and ds but no working buttons
You can certainly install any application you want on a jailbroken iphone, yes, but you can't install a kernel-mode driver because you simply can't... you don't even have access to the kernel in order to compile a driver for it...
I know what i'm talking about, I did some reverse engineering on the iphone and let me tell you that it's not an easy task to make it do what you want!
Also, try googling for "iphone linux" and see how much work and how many *years* it has taken groups of developers to be able to get some kind of semi functioning linux system on the iphone...
The iphone is a closed system and it's a piece of crap in my opinion, and I think the only reason it has sold more than 10 units is because the world is plagued by stupid Apple fanboys that will buy anything Apple throws their way...
A Jailbroken iPhone could do this if someone wanted to take the time to get it working.
@veggav: no way, you can't, the iPhone is a crappy piece of hardware that is extremely closed because Apple loves to control everything in their products, so you can do nothing with it, you can't even install an application if it's not pre-approved by Apple!
With the N900, you are free to do whatever you want with it! Nokia gives you even instructions on how to flash it with your own custom firmware if you want to.. and now people have already been able to install different operating systems on the N900 : Android in a dual boot! Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Debian in chroot, and Mer (custom linux distribution specific for Maemo devices) and even Mac OS X 10.3!!
IPhone doesn't come close to being able to do anything like that...
I was wondering is it possible to do the same with the iphone ?
Use the ps3 controller in the iphone ?
