N900 gains PS3 Sixaxis control over SNES gaming (video)

Even if the N900 isn’t quite ready for mass market appeal, that doesn’t mean that it’s not the perfect device for many of the Engadget elite. With impressive power and out-of-the-box hackability, this QWERTY handset is a tinkerers dream. In fact, Tomasz Sterna has already recompiled the kernel to add joystick (and mouse) support. He then pieced together enough code to turn the N900 into a portable Sixaxis gaming console that brings SNES gaming to any TV. Fire up the N900′s Bluetooth, then kick back and immerse yourself in a land of 16-bit dinosaurs and chubby Italian plumbers — good times. See the finished product after the break.
