A number of projects do that with PCs in mind, maybe some could be adapted to work with retropie. Ideally one could choose to use the wifi or bluetooth so that the user has the most choice in setup types (RJ45 cable on same network as wifi, add WIFI dongle, add bluetooth dongle, etc). \r\n\r\nA number of projects do this for example on android https://play.google.com/store/search?q=game%20controller or PC with http://gameplay3.gestureworks.com/ (see search https://www.google.fr/search?q=use+phone+as+game+controller). I haven't researched fully (see http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/22727/can-i-use-my-phone-as-a-bluetooth-game-controller-for-my-computer#25976 for a number of solutions) but some open source solution could be re-used for this. \r\n\r\n"}}
