Iphone As Controller For Mac Games
Though if you are an iPhone or iPod Touch owner, you can now turn your device into a wireless game controller for your Windows/Linux PC or Intel Mac, with WiFiPad. WiFiPad is a free app that lets you transform your iPhone or iPod Touch into a wireless gaming controller for playing games on your Mac as well as Windows or Linux PC.
The idea of using on the computer is kinda cool, and we have already seen two Android apps that get the job done. I recently got an iPhone and wanted to try out the same on it. My idea was to use one device for each of the players and play a co-up game.

Joypad Legacy Controller After you install the application on your iPhone and computer, launch it on your computer first and wait for it to initialize. Before we connect the mobile, let’s configure the desktop app and optimize it to play our favorite game. The thing to note here is that the app does not install joystick drivers on the computer, but just acts as a remote for your keyboard, and each button in app’s virtual keypad is mapped to a key on the keyboard. So all you need to do is, click on the New Configuration button and configure the buttons mapped for your game. For best results, open the game’s settings (the one you will be running on your computer) and map the keys which you need the most while playing.
Having done that, launch the Joypad Legacy app on your iPhone and wait for it to connect automatically. If the app doesn’t detect the phone make sure that both the devices are connected to the same W-Fi network and try entering the IP manually. You can also from your PC if the router coverage strength is poor. Once the devices are connected, launch the game. You might need to change the gamepad display in the iPhone app to match the buttons to your configuration. Tap on the small joystick icon on the app and select the desired style.
You can now play the games using the virtual gamepad on your iPhone. If you have more than one iOS device, you can configure them individually for each of the players. Click on the File menu on the desktop server app and select the option New Player. Currently there is no way to use the accelerometer for controlling your cars in the game and the app is not optimized for iOS 7 yet, but all in all, it solves the purpose and is good fun.
So if you are a game buff with an iPhone in your pockets, do try out the app and tell us if you liked the wireless gaming experience. Last updated on 8 Feb, 2018.
