Does the TH55 support the game controller?

Does the TH55 support the game controller? It's ok if it doesn't fit on the pda(clip on the sides), just has to work hardware-wise.

And does the jog dial act as up and down buttons in games?

I would like to get more detail on this as well...
In this thread (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43156), some guest said it was working as well as it did on the TG50, but he never answered which driver he was using. I'm going to assume he used the one that came with the TG50, but I wonder how the button assigning would work.

Anyone who has one, PLEASE post here with info.

The NX driver might work- I wont have a TH until june 5 at best. (Possibly sooner, but my birthday money from june 1 will cover the cost.)

YES it works on the TH55!! :D

I loaded the driver and attached the controller and it works great.

The only problem is you have to be careful about sliding it on the bottom of the unit you will hit the voice recorder button. I enables the controller and played a few games just download the latest driver from the Sony Support web site and install that one.

I'm outa here! :cool:

Thanks, that's very nice to hear it actually works and fits. I wouldn't want to lose NesEm playability. How does Key Emulation work with the driver you are using? I ask because I wonder what the controller buttons default to.... for example... A = ToDo list , Arrow Up = Left ?

Have you tried playing NesEm? Or for that matter, any game that uses all the buttons including X, Y? Any more details would be greatly appreciated!

You know, I'm also wondering if the game controller would fit OVER the screen cover.... that would be a nice option.
