Use Pokeball Plus as Controller #283

satoshimiamoto64 commented 3 years ago

I was doing some tests with pokeball plus and the only way to pair it with the console is through the pokemon game, I saw that it is possible to pair it with the cell phone via bluetooth and I thought if it would be possible to pair it as a controller using the mission control. I think it would be really cool to see people playing DarkSouls with Pokeball Plus :D

It might be possible once mission control supports Bluetooth LE, though this support is still a way off. The Pokeball Plus uses a proprietary protocol rather than standard HID, and support is hardcoded into the OS, so it depends a little on whether we can stop the OS from interfering with the controller. We probably can, but I don't understand enough about how the OS handles LE controllers at the moment to give a concrete answer.

I don't see how ask for something is already answer will speedup the process, at leas you was nice.

There is already 8 issues open and 9 closed about support BLE, when it's done any body will know, by now there is no more than thanks a lot to @ndeadly for all the work and effort put on Mission Control.

Thank you @impeeza

@marosige changing the behaviour of the Pokeball controller is likely the easy part. HID over Bluetooth LE is the main issue, and believe me, there are much more compelling reasons for supporting that already. It's just not as trivial as you may like to think
