Nokia N900 an Alchemy: Now comes up with a Gamepad hack

Nokia N900 really don’t want to quit? Or it’s truly an awesome Piece of Computer

It actually seems to be true that Nokia N900 Meamo powered smartphone is really not willing to quit and in fact it has guts to come up with every new and interesting thing. Previously a Brain Scanner was the recent achievement of this device which later explained by Nokia Conversations. Another recent activity about Nokia N900 was that the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich was ported to run on this device which really can accept any thing as almost every previous release of Android has been ported to work in Nokia N900. It has also provided a dual-boot environment already with MeeGo and Maemo.

Today it’s another interesting thing. Andrzej (from Emeryt Hacks) has built a  gamepad to work with Nokia N900. Yeah that’s true.

It connects to the USB port, fits nicely over the physical keyboard of N900. Featuring eight (8) buttons and PSP joystick it works out-of-the-box with all games or programs as N900 already works with USB keyboards.

The Gamepad in Action:

Andrzej has also provided the circuitry schematics, board and code.
