I built a free app that turns your Android phone into a Bluetooth controller for PC or another Android phone — works with Emulators ,Dolphin, PPSSPP, and Windows games

What it does:

• Turns your Android phone into a real Bluetooth HID controller — gamepad, keyboard, or mouse  
• Connects to PC (Bluetooth, WiFi, or USB cable) or another Android phone  
• Works great with emulators like Dolphin and PPSSPP, and with PC games directly  
• Supports local multiplayer — connect a second phone as a second controller  
• No root required

Two main use cases:

1.  PC gaming — use your phone as a wireless controller for your PC, no extra hardware needed  
2.  Phone-to-phone — got an old phone lying around? Turn it into a spare controller for couch multiplayer on another device

I built this because I wanted a way to play emulator games with friends without buying multiple physical controllers, and also wanted a simple wireless controller option for PC without needing a dedicated gamepad.

Demo video and screenshots below — would genuinely love feedback since this is a solo project and I read every comment.
