If you guys got one of these killer mini-arcade cabinets for Christmas and want to rock your Android tablet with it, it was kinda complicated.

Not anymore.

All gamers using controllers on the Android probably already know about USB/BT Joystick Center (USBJoy) - it is the key to using USB and BlueTooth controllers with your favorite games.

We over at Green Robot Gamer are big supporters of the USBJoy product -and as of tonight, it fully supports the iCADE cabinet!

In the GRG way, we've already created you a pain free configuration file for USBJoy. Hop on over and grab the config file, drop it in your USBJOYDATA folder - then when you hook up your iCade to USBJoy, a MAME4Droid profile will be waiting for you!

Enjoy!

Another option that's free is BluezIME. It will also work on pre-3.0 versions of Android as long as the ROM supports the LCAP protocol (Cyanogen mod 7 does).

Right now the version with iCade support is in testing, but it should be rolled out to the official version on the market soon.
