Apple Turn iPad into gamepad for PC?

[triassic911]

Is there an app like this? I would like to use my iPad for my emulators such as Desmume and Visualboy Advance. Thanks.

This would be very smart.

I found something after looking around a bit: http://www.wifipad.com/index.html
It seems a little old, with no retina or iPad specific app, but the 2x view should do it.
I am currently setting this up, will post back if it works.

Ok so I am trying it out but it is confusing. There isn't a general gamepad profile, every profile is tied to an app or game.

try joypad legacy.it's a free apps for pc/mac or idevice.
download/install the pc or mac software,

and joypad legacy for your idevice,

devices must be on the same wifi network.
desmume,for example, is not on the list.so you need to make a new configuration and input the keyboard keys
you want to use. select snes retro controller on settings.
works great on windows 7/64bit.

Wow that looks solid. I actually ended up installing Wifipad but I will give that a go.
