Wii remote on Arc

Hello.
I recently bought a Wii remote joypad so I could play some snes and n64 games on my TV via SE Arc more comfortably. I downloaded Wiimote app, but when trying to connect it is asking for a PIN to connect to Wii remote.
I searched the web for this issue and I think this isn't a good sign, that remote wiil work with arc, is it?
Thanks.

got it working on my X10 a few weeks back so I think it should work on the ARC as well

Just seen on another site it says "but to pair the Wiimote using legacy pairing, you reverse the bytes of the device address and use that as the pin."
Not tried it so can't say if it works or not.

Don't know anymore but I think I used a very normal code like 1234 or something like that

Are you sure you had to enter the pin numbers on the X10?

yes I am sure I had to enter them but I dont know wich I entered

I figured it out.
You need an original Wii remote controller and it connects without any problems and works excellently.

tried it with ''wiimotecontroller'' and works great, its nice to play emulators trough HDMI on bravia LCD

3rd party ps3 controller

Hello,
i'm having difficulty connecting my arsenal bluetooth ps3 controller to my rooted verizon galaxy nexus running cyanogenmod 10.
I got the MAC adress matching, and i even get the sixaxis controller app to confirm "client connected: 1"
but the controller never flashes 1 light and eventually disconnects.
when i try to pair under bluetooth setting it gets as far as telling me to enter a pin, but on the ps3 controller...
is there a way i can enter a pin on the controller itself?
i know the sixaxis controller app recommends sony brand controllers but i made the foolish mistake of buying a 3rd party one to save a few bucks...
i have also tried tried bluez IME settings and blueinput to no avail.
any help is appreciated, thank you!

Multiplayer emulators with physical controllers

I have two Amazon Fire TV's both rooted with the latest custom roms, Kodi 14.0a3 and several of the emulators side-loaded including RetroArch, along with a 32gb flash drive in a USB hub, along with a usb dongle for the wireless keyboard. I cannot get any of the emulators to work with multiplayer gaming. I have the following controllers:
RedScorpion Bluetooth Controller
Ouya Controller
Vizio Co-Star Controller
several generic USB controllers (PS3 style and XBOX)
Can someone tell me what the best controllers would be? I cannot figure out what controllers or settings I need to configure to allow any of these games to play multiplayer. I have a big family gathering coming up and would love to get the games to work.
I'm really frustrated and would love any and all advice at this point. I've read some people had success with a PS3 controller, others with PS4 controllers (albeit with Bluetooth issues) running Sixaxis, but I've also heard some say that the Xbox360 Controller works wirelessly, and others say it has to be wired.
If you've gotten this to work, please share your setup so I can copy it.
Thanks in advance,
Jesse

Pairing a Wii Remote to Android 6.0

I have been trying to pair a wii remote on my rooted Nvidia Shield Android TV for the past couple of days. I want to pair it so I can use the dolphin emulator to play wii games. Firstly, I have done this before on older devices, but it seems that being on android 6.0 there is an issue. I have tried to pair with wiimote controller and bluez ime and could not get it to sense the controllers. The Bluetooth option to add an accessory on the console shows the wii remote as available, but asks for a pin when you do it. I have tried keying "0000 and 1234" and no luck. It is not my controller, because I have tried 2 different controllers. Its not my console because I've tried to pair on my phone as well. Is there something I am missing? Or do the apps just need updating to work on Android Marshmallow firmware?

You need the Mayflash Wii Bar, thats the unique solution.

I have a "practical wired Sensor Bar w/ USB cable". Should this work? If so, how do I go about using it? Do I use a certain app?

NES (and other) Emulators that work with game controllers

Is there an NES emulator (or preferably a multi-console emulator with NES support) that works well with the Fire TV 2nd Gen and paired Bluetooth gamepads? The gamepads in question are specifically ASUS brand, but they are Android compatible, pair properly to the Fire TV without any additional apps or mods (i.e., no settings.apk needed), and they both work with all gamepad compatible Fire TV apps. Unfortunately, none of the emulators that I've tried appear to receive input from the controller once I start a game. Here are the emulators that I've tried:
Latest Retroarch (both Play Store and directly from Libretro).
NES.emu
Nostalgia.NES
RetroFC
John NES Lite
Has anyone had success with an NES emulator and game controllers? Did you need to change settings? Any insight would be appreciated!

I use the Amazon Fire Game Controller and Dualshock 4 with all my emulators.

I use Retroarch with both my rooted Fire TV 2 and rooted Fire Stick, i use 2 x ps3 pads on the Fire Stick (connected with the help of sideloaded SixAxis apk, to which works flawlessly (a little of a bugger to set up as enabling SixAxis knocks the bluetooth connection off but to compensate for this i have the 'enable otg script' auto start at boot and have a 2.4ghz airmouse/keyboard combo remote plugged into my home made powered OTG). Ive actually got 3 ps3 dualshock pads and they all connect at the same time and is a blast with Super Bomberman. Just have to make sure you have them all setup correctly.
As for the Fire TV 2, ive got a 'Rii GP500' android pad connected through bluetooth and if im wanting 2 players on this i have to connect the only other type of controller i have which works, a wired Xbox One pad, ive not got the Wireless adapter to try out no have i got a 360 pad with the wireless adapter to try ( i have read the 360 wireless adapter does work with the Fire TV to use your 360 pad wirelessly). Unfortunatly the ps3 pads refuse to work on the Fire TV 2 no matter what i try (guttered as the ps3 dualshocks are great), i have read that they dowork with Fire TV 1 tho.
Ive also had connected another type of android pad to both Fire TV 2 and Fire Stick, the Ipega 9068, there is quite a few different variations of Ipega bluetooth pads and dont see why they wouldn't work.
As long as you set them up properly in Retroarch i cant see why you would have difficulty.
Saying that when i once tried to plug 2 Xbox one pads in wired, i could not get Retroarch to detect properly, i dont know if it was the case it seen 2 controllers as 1 or not.
My advice would be to setup 1 correctly then save the setup in Retroarch then try adding another, but before commiting to buy see if you can borrow one to try out, or go for any of the compatable ones (if applicable to you) ive tested.

SNES9X Ex+ also working perfectly even with 8Bitdo controllers...
