could there be a way to use a cellphone that runs java applications as a gamepad for ljp? I have found this project in a spanish web site talking about using the cellphone as a client (jar application) for sending key inputs to a linux pc that runs a server that recognize the phone inputs www.alonsoruibal.com/desarrollos/btremote-j2me/do you think the linux server could be adapted to palmOS and integrated in LJX? |

Of course you can: you just emulate the BT gamepad on your mobile phone. No problem, just do it - but why?

For Multiplayer. Would that link work?
Thanks!

Again: write a small J2ME app which emulates the BT gamepad (it's a very easy protocoll on serial BT profile) and you don't need to change a bit in LJP. But again, why don't you just buy a BT gamepad?

But again, why don't you just buy a BT gamepad? Thanks, so the gamepad emulator is for the cellphone or for the palm? because the cellphone already has a pad emulator in that project I posted earlier. And for the question: 1.- Because is another way to use a cellphone 2.- Because more ppl have cellphones than BTGamepads 3.- Because electronic and programable things are made to have 1001 uses or more 4.- Because there is no freaking store who sells a BTGamepad, neither online stores, near my country, and importing from USA......well usually the shipping costs is twice or more than the product I ask =/ |

Main anti-reason: most cellphone buttons suck BAD for gaming.

One would write a small J2ME app for the phone which sends the given codes from the phone to the Palm. Maybe I should do it and sell it for 5$.
I have no clue what codes the mentioned project uses, and if it uses serial connection at all. But I'm not going to add another devices into LJP...

Even if it were only 1 dollar. |

Wow this is off-topic. But i started it i guess :-) But now i find out i lost the N-Gage. Would it work on treo (or would metaview write a palm one please?)?

J2ME on Treo can't use the BT-stack (as far as I know). A single app for Palm would work, yes.

How hard would that be? IS there documentation for the BT gamepad.

No docs but the codes are easily captured. Look into LJP and such, how did you think it is supported now? I will start with the Palm version the next days.
