    Whats the best games controller to use with a Nokia? I have an N900 and have seen a few videos on youtube with users setting up their phone to show the screen on their tv, playing compatible N900 games (mainly emulation) using a PS3 controller. It would seem if you dont have the techie know-how, the only other way is to play using a "Zeemote". They dont look very good/comfortable to use, as they are a bit small - do they work well, or are there any better or more traditional looking joypad options out there (eg adapters to plug in a ps2 pad), that would work on a nokia phone? Thanks

    At the moment only the Sony PS3 Controller and the Nintendo Wiimote are working.

    The Zeemote Driver is not finished and not ready to use. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

    SIXAXIS/Dual Shock 3 is the best controller for the N900. It really isn't that hard to get working, either. I did it in a matter of twenty minutes. Do a quick search of the forums for the thread on sixaxis/joystick support for the N900.

    is it already possible to use a classic controller on a wiimote?

    Does the sixaxis procedure still require custom kernel modifications or can we just install the .deb package over in extras-devel/testing?

    the zeemote (once its fully working) would seem the best bet if using the phone on its own, since its quite small. a ps3 pad would prob be a good idea if connecting the phone to a scart/video-audio capable tv

    Is the zeemote development still in progress?
