iPhone Car Racing with Bluetooth Zeemote Joystick

[ConsolesR3worked]

tutorial not a show off would be nice

[mringwal]

although one year old, this was only a proof-of-concecpt, patched together for that particular game. General game support with real controllers is still on my list - no ETA.

[ArnaudF92]

I tried to make my zeemote working on my iphone without success, some body has a solution to make it work ?

[henrikouH]

Functions with the application official ?

[MrTroyboy13]

hi, can any one help me install the zeemote so i can use it on my iphone??

[mringwal]

@skrbicdu It was a proof-of-concept. If I get around to implementing it, it will work with any motion control game :)

[DriftKornars]

you dont have to stand my evo against a wall to play hands free :P

[FUCKWHIT2475]

U need anything to get this up n running let us kno

Would be happy to help

[FUCKWHIT2475]

I currently have a zeemote with a hacked N96. And unfortunately have bought an iPhone 3gs and cannot play gamez with my big thumbs. Have looked on the dev site a little bit and was just wondering what u did, pls pls let us kno

Thanks

Big thumbz

[mringwal]

@FUCKWHIT2475 I plan to release a end-uesr version of this hack in the next months, stay tuned :)

[jupstejuho]

@mringwal - Did you already realease end-user version of this?

[Mode8306]

Is this possible to install on any jailbroken iPhone? Been waiting for this for a while!

[mringwal]

All jailbroken iPhones are fine. There is just no software to install yet. I'll be working on this soon. :)

[Manuelito21cbtis]

Tvout2 from cydia and this = epic

[Stifflerrza]

what car racing game is that??

[mringwal]

Seat Cupra Race

[iworldtk]

what demo function did you use then ?

[mringwal]

? I don't understand what you are refering to.

[lookersd]

looks like the nunchuk from a nintendo wii

[stiggy1605]

Well since the remotes for the Wii are called Wiimotes, and this is called a Zeemote, it's not hard to figure out where the inspiration came from...

[19losen]

The zeemote looks pretty wicked

[hawaiianchimp]

This seems possible, but... Airplane mode turns off bluetooth too, and there is no bluetooth icon in the top right corner next to the battery icon.

This would totally be possible in future updates, but this doesn't look real to me.

[mringwal]

The Airplane mode only turns off Apple's BT stack. This proof of concept uses a new/different BT stack (see info) that doesn't know that about Airplane mode. Also, this demo was on firmware 2.2.1. But yes, if e.g. Zeemote would hand over enough money to Apple, we might see a Zeemote iPhone Joystick (using BT). :)

[Mydnytefantasy89]

Actually it's real though. I was looking at it online(at a Blackberry store)and looked it up and they make them. It's recent that they released for Blackberry though

[msigwart]

Yeah, its about as real as the bluetooth multiplayer this game has... The whole thing is on a cardboard box "set" hes steering by tipping the box. The camera moves with the box, and creates the illusion that the device he is hold is controlling the game. Also, if you'll notice, the device is an iPhone- not a Blackberry; you could give people the illusion you are more intelligent.

[Mydnytefantasy89]

I'm more intelligent than you, since you're the guy looking for excuses to make it real. You could make yourself more intelligent by looking the product up and seeing how it works. As I sated before, this product has been out a while now, and the compatibility for Blackberry is in the recent months.

[Mydnytefantasy89]

To add to my previous comment, since I just watched the video again to show my friend, if the box is being tilted, how come the iPhone isn't moving around? Come up with an answer for that, that's fine, but question number 2, how did he brake without touching the iPhone, you have to touch it to brake, he held a button, and iPhones require a finger touch, notice nails don't work? it doesn't respond via pressure

[AncientItalianSecret]

Genius,  Its almost as big as the iphone! The ladies will LOVE the bulge in your pocket.

[ElrondderWeise]

Common Sense: the Zeemote is closer to the camara (looks bigger), and Iphone is further (closer).

[ElrondderWeise]

(smaller)*

[AncientItalianSecret]

Look up the dimensions goof.

[Fadoosh12]

I Agree With SailGlenn

[j1kka]

Great!  I'd love to use Zeemote with iPhone.

[SailGlenn]

This is fantastic... Apple should also enable game play to be output to a TV and the iphone becomes a mobile gaming console!! Sit back in your favorite chair with your Zeemote bluetooth controller and play your favorite iphone game on your LCD TV. That would be so cool!

[mringwal]

You can try TVOut from Cydia (Jailbreak only) to enable video output.
