Use Your Android Device As A Bluetooth Gamepad For Another Via BT Controller


BT Controller allows enjoying emulator video games in the same way. The app changes your Android device into a bluetooth gamepad,enabling you to place control emulator video games managing on another system (the host). Like Tablet Remote, BT Controller must also be installed and running on both the devices – the host as well as the controller that are combined with each other over Bluetooth. As of now, the app only works with a few game emulators, and supports controlling one Android device with the other over Bluetooth connection only.Information to follow.
can be used to management various emulators for Mame, Ps3, CPS2 and N64 video games. Record of all the reinforced emulators can be discovered on the app’s Android Market page (link offered at the end).
Here are all the settings actions that you need to go by if you want to set the app up on the controller and host devices.
  • As mentioned earlier, you first need to ensure that BT Controller is installed and running on both devices.

  • When prompted, activate Bluetooth on both devices.
  • Make your devices’ Bluetooth discoverable from within the app by tapping the Visible button.
  • Next, tap the Connect button, and select the device with which you wish to pair.
  • From within the prompt that appears, choose whether you want to set the device as the Controlleror Host.

  • Assuming that you’ve selected one device as the controller, the other one is automatically assigned the role of the host.
  • While the controller device’s screen automatically turns into a virtual gamepad, the host device’s screen displays a small preview window at the top-right of the screen. Tapping this windows takes you to your device’s Language & Input Settings. Make sure that you select and enable BTControlleras the default input method on the host device. Once that is done, the aforementioned preview window should now display any key pressed on the controller device.

  • You need to manually map all the keys on the controller device’s gamepad to the controls on the emulator running on the host device.
  • Once your done with setting the keys, load a game ROM into the emulator to start using your controller device to play it.

The app’s settings screen (Menu > Settings) lets you enable/disable vibration (haptic/tactile feedback) upon pressing keys on the gamepad.
We tested the app successfully with an HTC Desire as the controller and an HTC Desire HD running N64oid as the host device.
There are a couple of variants of BT Controller available in the Android Market. One is no cost but contains ads whereas the other one is ad-free and expenditures a little over $1. Industry hyperlinks and QR requirements of both versions are offered below.
