ps3 controller

i think we have a better chance at others to be able to use a ps3 controller with our device since the ps3 controller pairs and shares it's pin via usb. which we happen to have!
i don't know much about this stuff but i was googling to see if anyone has paired on yet and it's only been done on a windows mobile phone so far. but seems possible from my broad perspective. anyone more knowledgable ?

If i had a PS3 controller, i would work on it and write an app if necessary. Just got this tablet yesterday and tossed CM6.1b4 on it.
Thanks!

Interesting thoughts.
I think most will depend on the bluetooth and bt software.
I recall some android phones with bluetooth cannot pair with a Wiimote where others do so easily.
The only "problem" would be that you would need to place the tablet on some sort of a desktop so you can have both hands on the controller. Putting the tablet on your lap also works but it gets uncomfortable really quickly.
On a side note, how does this thing handle the psx emulator?

It actually handes psx4droid very well. I was quite impressed. I just flashed TnT Lite last night, and have not tested it yet.
I was very easily using a Wiimote to play Legend of Dragoon on it. Very few stutters, but i did not make any setting adjustments yet. a PS3 controller makes more sense, but I'm unsure if the "Wiimote Controller" app will do anything for us with a PS3 controller (again, I don't own one, so can't test).
Thanks!

Two things:
1. How did you get Wiimote to work? TnT 2.0 does not even see the device... maybe an issue with new firmware? Not aware of anybody having luck with 2.0.
2. If you think PSX4droid works ok, you will go nuts if you install 1.5 or 1.6- both are twice as fast for 3D games than 1.7 on the Gtablet.
Most 3D games plays smooth. Catch is the sound aint' the best.

To use wiimote with the tnt you have to change,one of the all's.. or install cm6.1 or zpad

ive been searching the net for the possibility of connecting the ps3 controller to any android device and specifically for my gtablet when i ran across this thread. if anyone could get a ps3 controller to pair and work for our gtablet, id be ever grateful. for some reason, the virtual keyboard on psx4droid just doesnt cut it for me. anyone ran across anything promising lately?

I hav also been looking for the ps3 controller to work on my gTab maybe some can hac the old PS1 controller the same way the SNES controller was hacked...thoughts?

Id be interested in getting this thread going again, a ps3 app would be baller on the g tablet!

[Solved] Bluetooth Game Controller?

I Know there are a lot of threads for Game Pad Controllers out there what i am wondering is if any of you have one that you use for the Inspire. I am looking to get one and while there is not much selection for android bluetooth game pads i want one to work with the emulators (FPse, N64oid, TigerNES, SNesoid, ect). So how about it any of you have any experience in this?
I have found out that you can use a Zeemote with android but i don't know if it works with inspire. i am looking for something more along the lines of a ps2/3 style setup in a controller cause that is very easy to hold for many hours on end.
UPDATE: I have purchased a zeemote to try will update when I receive and test it out.
UPDATE2: Have received said js1 joystick. Seems to work so far. Am going to fiddle with this and write a review!
MOD: I probably need to move this to the accessories threads now. Thanks!

WOOHOO!! it does work. I am using a Zeemote JS1 On the HTC Inspire 4g without Root. So far so good! I have used it with FPse, SNesoid and Tiger NES so far. Will test it out with the N64oid this afternoon! Using a free software that connects via bluetooth called Bluez IME software to connect. It was fairly simple just following the instructions. Will try and post videos when i get my hands on a camcorder.

Anyone heard of the one that uses the Wii controller?

There are several that use Wii controller but if you have HTC.sense it won't work (ie stock Rom) HTC didn't include hid devices in their Bluetooth driver/stack. So unless you root you can't use a Wii controller. Not that I have found out. The guy that wrote the driver I mentioned above is working on getting Wii controller working with his driver. At that point it would be a great thing to have if u use your phone for games!

Some Chinese guy had remodified a PS1 controller which he is selling on Taobao (kinda like a Chinese ebay) for about 25 USD. I got myself one about a week ago and am working at the moment with the bluez-ime developer to get it working on Android. It works so far with FPse, which you can see on the crappy video that I just took. Maybe I should start exporting these controllers ;-)

[Q] alternative to MSI BGP 100 for PX1 games???

Hello
can we have some alternatives to MSI BGP100 bluetooth gamepad (ofsource except HD2 it self )? it looks like entire world is running out of this device

If you can't get the PS3 gamepad to work you might be interested in the PS1 bluetooth gamepad I have recently discovered. I know it's in the Android forums at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033409 , but it's been initially made by a Chinese guy for WM devices, though you'd have to buy his software for like 5 USD probably.

USB Controller

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I've only found topics related to PS3 & XBOX controllers. But will any usb controller work with the Asus Transformer?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know about any usb controller, but I would think so. I have this controller and it works perfectly.

I've tried a few of the Logitech ones, the Wired 360 and a 3rd party adapter that connects a n64 controller and they all work.
Where it gets sticky is app compatibility. I know that GTA3 does not 100% work with the Logitech controllers (can't go forward in car). The n64 one may or may not work with anything other than emulators.
Figure out what you are going to use it for then do the research. One may be better than others for your specific purpose.
If I were to pick ONE to work with, it would be the wired 360 controller.

Thanks for your replies. I know that some games aren't standard compatable with gamepads/controllers but there's this app called 'Sixaxis Controller' that fixes this problem.
360 is to pricy for me. Found one for 15 bucks with good reviews.

which one???

I have some cheap USB controller. It works perfectly only in Sonic CD. Didn't yet tried sixaxis but it should definitely help.

Hooray for DealExtreme. But you get what you pay for, but the reviews are good compared to others.

Sixaxis is great, you can map parts of the touchscreen to certain buttons.

Game controller Gamepad for Nexus Player

Not sure if anyone else went this route, but I decided to pickup the Gamepad for Nexus Player TV video game controller https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Gamepad_for_Nexus_Player?id=nexus_player_gamepad&hl=en and can confirm it works very well with android games with controller support on the Nexus 9. Its made by ASUS and seems to be a very nice quality controller. I have yet to try it with any emulators yet though.

Yes, I too picked up an Nexus Player Gamepad. My initial thought was hey, it's Bluetooth so it should work! And it did, now I don't need to fuss around with my PS3 controller Though I'm a little disappointed it cant pair with my Nexus 5.
With ppsspp it works great, all the buttons auto map to the emulator.

Great to hear
I ordered one speclatively, but it's great to know it wil work so well
Cheers
Geoff

reenrolled the controller with the 9's ID and play!

im thinking of buying the gamepad for nexus player .. is it easy to pair??

Will the Shield Gamepad work too?
So I bought a cheapo and I've managed to break it and it would not hook up to the pc before it died.
So in all I'm looking for more of a full proof package. Shield or Nexus Player gamepad. I'd like it too to work with my pc, this doesnt have to be wireless... Thanks for any replies.

Has nayone tested this with any emulators yet, does it work well?

Thanks! I think I'll give this a go. I do a lot of tech related videos so would be interesting to show this off and have a play with

Has someone managed to make a Xbox One gamepad work on Nexus 9 ? I don't know how to do, it works on my Xperia Z2 with KK but on Lollipop it seems it doesn't.

I have the Nyko Play Pad Pro. I bought it for the Nexus Player, but it works with everything. Last I saw they are like $13 at Gamestop.

I just bought this a few minutes ago. Really looking forward to getting this controller! Looks to be a great investment.

Does this pad work on any android phones or Nexus only?
And can it be used on any games/emus?

Works on emus also?
