Hi guys
Well since I'm amazed by the progress of smartphones (I have samsung galaxy s plus so far) I wanted to check out if I can fullfill a tiny dream and play my nostalgic c64 games on android, or snes/genesis games, like on a real thing.
The goal is this:
1) Run the game on the android emulator
2) Play the game with 2 people using TWO wireless gamepads
3) Display the game on HDTV
Now, just to make it clear, I will only try to get into it when I get Samsung Galaxy s4 which I will deffinetly get, but I'm now "probing" the topic. But anyways, it will be on galaxy s4.
I did find out something called "sixaxis" on android, which allows to connect the sixaxis controller to the android device, and I also found that modern devices allow to connect android output to the hdtv, using hdtv adapters (I know samsung galaxy s3 has an official samsung adapter, and that samsung galaxy s4 will have one as well shortly after premiere).
So in theory:
1) I'm running the emulator on samsung galaxy s4
2) I have to buy 2 sixaxis controlers and connect them using the sixaxis application
3) Connect the samsung galaxy s4 with a hdtv by a hdtv adapter
It should work in theory, and I saw youtube clips, and searched the topic a little, and I found people succesfully did use either of those, but not all 3 combined (maybe I didn't come accross a case like that).
So I wanted to ask any of you, most likely owners of galaxy s3, as that one I know have hdtv adapters, if any of you managed to combine what I presented above, to make a "console" out of our android device.
I have to tell you, the idea of gaming old classic games, lets say when I am on vacation with friends, using only my telephone and 2 gamepads that I would take with me, is simply mindblowing, and I can't wait to test it.
Any feedback would be highly appriciated
