Sorry, before we get USB hostmode I think you won't be able to use any wired controllers.

You can but you are not allowed to. On Start and landing: no electronics, while flight: no radio (so no FM radio, no GSM/UMTS and no WiFi/Bluetooth).

However in the meantime, I'd love a way to comfortably play games with my n900

I recently ran across this issue on a 5 hour flight when I pulled out my N900 only to realize I couldn't enable bluetooth to sync up my PS3 controller :P

....
I did it any way =x Removed the SIM.. booted into normal mode and disabled wifi and off I went.

Slightly more convenient than removing sim each time. I've used my N900 plenty of times on the plane with this method.

So I'm curious if anyone has looked into this...
Is there any wired option for a game controller available for the N900? I understand the N900 doesn't support USB host mode so not sure if that makes this a no go. I fly often and love my mupen64plus! But I just remembered you can't use bluetooth on the plane
Any ideas for a controller that could interface with microUSB??
