Nokia N900 Gamepad

The N900 is a great device, capable of running many game system emulators.
Unfortunately, playing on its keyboard is not very comfortable.
I've decided to do something about it...


I've built a gamepad that connects to the usb port and fits nicely over the keyboard.
It features 8 buttons and a PSP joystick, the device emulates a USB keyboard so it works out of the box with all games/programs.

At the heart of the gamepad is an ATmega8A running V-USB software USB stack.

Video of it in action:

    Love this mod! I built a bluetooth SNES gamepad on my own, but this is connected through the USB port. I have some questions hoping you might have better info. I just got a Nokia N900 to play with and I'm having trouble with installing MAME and NEOGEO, I got all the other emulators working but those two, I can not get the games to show up. If you have any information on getting those set up can you contact me at my email: OniKyanAE86@gmail.com

    this is quite awesome :O do you think i'd be possible to do something like this for a nokia n8? AFAIK that mofo won't work with any joystick, unless it's an emulated keyboard.

    its driving me nuts i tell you. ive been thinkin of buying a cheap generic bluetooth keyboard and sticking a milestone gamepad on top of it. and then gluein all together with another generic plastic universal holder thing stuff
