When it comes to gaming controllers, we can find plenty of them of out there, in many shapes and sizes. However, most gamers don’t bother buying one – especially the casual gamers. Well, thanks to WiFiPad, if you own an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can turn it into a wireless gamepad controller. Ok, it might not be the same feeling but it’s quite cool anyway.
Above, you can view a short YouTube demo of someone playing Halo with WiFiPad.
As you probably expected, there will be two software components that you have to install and configure, one for the iPhone (or iPod Touch) and one for the the computer which will run the server.
You can download the component for your iPhone/iPod Touch here and the component for your OS (Windows/Mac OS X) here.
Note: In order to operate, both the computer and the iPhone (or iPod Touch) must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Also, the TCP/UDP port 8989 & 8990 must be open.
