I hate the electronics bits. I would have made sure that works (greatest uncertainty) before building the case (which has very little uncertainty)

@TheGeekPub 8 жыл бұрын

Well, I sort of did. LOL. I tested it on an iPad Pro (the big iPad) which has different keyboard support. I had no idea the Airs were different. I will still make it work though. I bought an MFi game controller which bypasses Apple's keyboard routines and will tear it apart for its guts. Part two!

I think it's great you shared you fails. It's still great content. There were a few golden nuggets in here that I wouldn't have learned if you didn't published it. Plus it'll show us what not to do so we don't repeat the mistake. I have a few fails I'll be sharing just for that reason. Thanks a ton!

One way to possibly salvage the project is to rip the guts out of a ION icade stick. It is a six button arcade stick for iDevices that runs through bluetooth. Gamestop actually has been discontinuing the product, and selling them dirt cheap.

Honestly it's not a fail video, just a speed bump and "Too be continued...." I would say go with the Android device route when your ready to visit this again down the road due to Android is more accommodating and cheaper for a nice little tablet arcade!

I found what they call "bultrol" which is a bluetooth control application that you're able to install and configure a arcade joystick and buttons to your ipad - here are a couple links that can help you further resolve your issue. 1.

The only way out of this one Mike would be to jailbreak the iPad.it opens up the software so you can instal android apps on it. I'm sure there is one out there that will map the keys perfect. Nice job on the cabinets anyway.

I ran into this with the 8bitdo controllers, they support iOS in keyboard mode not game controller mode and the app support is very limited. I wonder if there is a small Bluetooth controller that supports Mfi which is Apple's controller protocol.

I'm not sure. My plan when I revisit this is to rip the guts out of a Nimbus or some other MFi controller and sacrifice them to the Apple gods. I just can't spend anymore time on this project right now.

Would a jailbroken iPad and some emulators work though? I'm pretty sure most emulators (from Cydia or something) have the ability to use gamepads/input devices not supported natively. I haven't been in the jailbreaking scene for a while now (ever since I got my 6P) so I'm not 100% about everything.

Crap, sorry you went through all this to get stumped right at the finish line. I had two different Iphones since 2007 and while they work great for minimalistic stuff, I just prefer the ability of Android devices to do so much more with way less limitations, and no need to "jailbreak" just to do stuff a stock Android will do.

The 99cent store sells "vr glasses with controler" for a buck, the controller is ios and android bluetooth. Take the controller apart, scratch up the button contacts and sodder the wires to it.
