Im reading all across the xda forums that along with 4.2 and now 4.3 that wimmotes dont pair no longer with apps created to utilise the wiimotes as a controller. Does anyone know anything about this , and have ideas ?

Err...I'm pretty sure there was a recent update to some Wiimote controller app that fixed 4.3 issues? It was called...BT Joystick Center or something...though it's a paid app IIRC

Well, I've tried connecting a Wiimote on Android 4.2.2. I couldn't connect unless I hacked my BT MAC address to be 30:30:30:30:30:30 (PIN became 000000), and even then, apps couldn't see the Wiimote. This isn't the apps' faults, either; if the app didn't connect the Wiimote, they can't access it.
From what I've read, Android 4.3 does nothing to fix this; the Bluetooth updates have to do with fixes for sending audio metadata.
At least, that's the case for the Galaxy S4.

hmm i didnt detect , well thats a lie it detected an unknown BT device and gave a 8 or so options to choose , of which one was wiimote , on selecting wiimote in errored saying no device present. lol it seems it cant enter the pin or something so i read.. currently rooting to use sixaxis and the dualshock alternative
Tried the demo. Couldn't connect to a Wiimote on my rooted Galaxy S4, paired before or not.
Guess I'll just have to use a USB controller when my OTG cable arrives.

I believe the Galaxy S4 has other issues with BT that's not just limited to 4.3. I read about it somewhere on XDA-Developers, but I can't really be assed to find it again...lol
The issue is that its BT stack is incomplete; the key missing feature is pairless operation, which is how the Wiimote likes to roll.
I assume the same is true of Sixaxis controllers, and probably that snazzy new Famicom controller clone.
Also, I'm now horrifyingly reading some reports that say Samsung's USB OTG drivers are bugged.
GPU, BT, USB... what's so hard for Samsung to get right?
i think you guys reached the same conclusion i have. it has to do with keyless pairing. 4.2 and above doesn't have it. i heard there was a fix and it was supposed to be in 4.3 but we all know what happened. i'm hoping 4.4 has it back! its so much easier to use the wiimote than a wired controller via otg. and i'm too lazy to sync my ps3 controller.
from the app i use "Incompatibility update: Android 4.2+ is not compatible with this app. The reason for this is that Google changed an essential bluetooth component in this version of Android. We are looking for a solution."
Taking up an old thread. I wonder if it should work if you enter the correct pin. I wonder if it actually is a pin. In that case, can you search all pins with a program on the pc or something like that. I mean there is only 9999 different ones. What do you think about that?

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
