Dualshock 3 on Android - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe it is currently not possible to use a dualshock 3 or sixaxis with Android correct?
Well I was digging through the Samsung Galaxy S' source code and came across a bunch of files in the eclair build's folders. More specifically a bunch of files which lead me to believe they added Dualshock 3 connectivity to the Galaxy S through some means. If anyone wants to take a look at the attached file, be my guest.
I found these files in the \external\bluetooth\bluez\input folder
the main files seam to be fakehid for decoding the PS3's output into fake keypresses, and sixpair for pairing the controller.
Any experienced Android system modders care to take a look and possible add support for dualshock 3 and sixaxis into as many builds as we can?

You may not be able to use dualshock, but you are definately able to use a Wiimote, at least it's gamepad. I use the pp found on the market for my Mother 3 ROM playing cuse I don't have Multitouch on my X10, plus it looks cool to be able to control your phone with a Wiimote.

so now that has me thinking, what if you set the master address of your dualshock 3 to your phones BT address and tried to connect, thats how you have to do it on Windows Mobile because Sony decided the best way to pair a bluetooth controller is by cable
EDIT: I'd try but I don't have an Android phone at the moment, killed my HD2 a week ago and waiting for the Samsung Vibrant to come out.

+1 for Android-DualShock-Support

I'm working on this right now. I changed the BT master address on my controller with six pair, but I'm having a tough time getting it to connect to the phone. As of right now, the two don't act like the other exists.

This would be awesome. Especially if we find a PS/PS2 emulator (haven't checked to see if there is one already or not.

I hope someone is working on this, it would be to cool to be able to use this controller over a wiimote.

PSX4Droid is out!
we have one more reason to get this working!!

I wont be happy in life until I can play Metal Gear Solid and FF7 on my Samsung Epic with a dualshock 3.
I'll even pay for it. (HINT HINT)

I just recently found myself wishing for this when the PSX emulator came out.

I've done some googling and came across this this source.
sixpair.c. (Only required if the SIXAXIS is to be used with a non-PS3 Bluetooth master.) The SIXAXIS apparently does not support the standard Bluetooth pairing procedure; instead, pairing is done over USB, which is arguably simpler and more secure. This command-line utility searches USB buses for SIXAXIS controllers and tells them to connect to a new Bluetooth master.

So it appears that sixpair.c is a common linux application that will search USB busses for sixaxis controllers. The issue with connecting to something like an Android device is that the Sixaxis pairs over USB (no pushbutton like on the Wiimote), so it will be tricky to get paired with a phone.

I know the Nokia N900 guys managed to get the sixaxis working with Maemo 6 so its not impossible

Makes sense, he just uses sixpair on a linux machine to pass the bt address of his phone (as opposed to the bt address of the actual machine). Ideally we could remove the PC from the equation entirely, but I could settle with this for now.

if anyone can make this happen it'll be the first app I pay for

I know USB host is getting enabled on several phones, there's hacks for the Nexus and Desire. Maybe a starting point is to use this functionality to pair by cable?

i also came across this here in my search, im guessing the people talking about it here on xda are prob. the same as the ones im linking to.
but i thought it was worth linking to.

No news? for psx/snes/mega/etc emus
would be incredible, in wm is awesome playing with a psx DualShock3 is priceless
I am surprised that nobody has created this driver bt for ds3 in android

Please, News ?

well there must b a way cause i know for windows mobile theres a program called cobalt controller that u can use to connect either a wiimote or a ps3 controll

Would love to see some work on this would defiantly donate / pay for an app that made this work. Especially now FPSE is on Android!

Any BT gamepad and keyboard?

Will I be able to use a BT keyboard or gamepad with my
desire?
Read about it at the N1 forum but its seamd to be a bít of a bother
to get it to work.
Is there a HID inbuilt in the Desire or do I need an app?
What I want to be able to do is to write long documents with the keyboard and play games useing an emulator and a gamepad.
I understand that the Freedom Universal 2 should work on the Desire with (not free) an app from the Android market place (search using "bluetooth keyboard"). I have ordered this keyboard as soon I manage to test it I will post results.
Sounds wonderful.
Im looking forward to your review.
Regarding the gamepad:
http://www.mymobilegear.com/showthread.php?p=17452
I'm also interested in whether a bluetooth keyboard will work. I'm getting an Apple Bluetooth mini keyboard soon, which should be nice to use at times when I'm away and need to type some long emails
I have a noname BT keyboard that works out of the box with windows mobile. With Android, the keyboard can be paired with the Desire, but it seems that no key input services are available in the Desire BT implementation. I understand that there is a BT driver floating around that could fix this issue. If I find the solution, I will post an update.
Bad news my Freedom Pro keyboard does not seem to work with the KeyPro app, the only app in the Android market as far as I know that provides drivers for BT keyboards. I have left a message on the mymobilegear.com forum so hopefully the developer will respond sson.
There is another driver/app: blueinput. I cannot get it working but you can try your luck.
Unfortunately the teksoft BT driver does not work either - major problem after a rebooted I found I could not enter my passpword and therefore had to do perform a hard reset! You have been warned (look here: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid&tab=download)
what a shame.
thanks for your tries and i would love to use an external bt keyboard too.
i will try to find a cheap / second hand bt keyboard to test around
With Blueinput and KeyPro I think the issue is that they cannot work with the BT on the Desire. I have left messages on the developer forums but no feedback yet. Blueinput, if it worked, would be very promising as it should work with most HID keyboard (iGo, Stowaway etc).
Seams as if the kayboard have to be a SPP kayboard.
Not HID.
Freedom is working on a driver for android for their own Freedom
series keyboards.
Would be great to hear news about this.

I have been looking into this aswell. Im following the Wii-project
closely. But I also think a BT keyboard would be great.
Just got "documents to go" and a keyboard would make writing
much smoother.
Freedom Universal 2 looks relly good, since the Freedom Pro is a bit too
large.
Apparently these sorts of bluetooth apps don't work with Sense-enabled phones.
Not sure if flashing a non-Sense rom would fix it, but then the CM Rom doesn't have working bluetooth anyway.
think there was a modaco rom that worked with wii remote. not sure about othe r bluetooth stuff
Hey guys, has anyone found a Playstation-style bluetooth gamepad that works with CyanogenMod's Bluetooth HID implementation? I've already tried playing SNESoid with my Freedom Universal bluetooth keyboard, and while it works, it's obviously not as nice as with an actual gamepad. Any suggestions?

[Q]Wiimote without root?

is this even possible? ive always rooted devices in the past, but with the hardware issues that some people are having, id rather not have to root my TF. is there any way to connect my datel bluetooth controller for use with emulators without rooting? really dont want to void my warranty.
thanks in advance.
erm.... I've got wiimote installed and its working fine with no root .....
how are you syncing it? i can find it in bluetooth, but 0000 and 1234 arent working to sync.
i was under the impression you need the wiimote app (which says it needs root right away)
I had that problem too. Dont sync it the built in bluetooth app. Just turn on bluetooth then try to sync in the app. It will auto see it and sync.

The wiimote controller app does not require root. However, I don't think it works with 3rd party wiimotes. You need to buy an official Nintendo one. Also, there are a couple of different apps (there is a paid one). You should be using the free one in the link below. For some reason I can't find it on the market anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672884
used the link below and it worked great. that is a nice app without root.
and it worked like a charm with my datel retro wireless... being able to play emulator games and quake etc with a wireless controller is amazingly nice.
now i just wish i could find a true mame emulator that worked.
Hey guys I want to get the setup for the wiimote but want to make sure I know what I need. The threads I see with people using the Classic controller with the Wiimote are using 2 parts right? The wiimote + another controller that connects to the Wiimote? I've only used a Wii a couple of times so I'm not familiar with the setup.
And to confirm aftermarket Wiimotes are not working? You need a Nintendo one. I saw a nice aftermarket one in Frys but it didn't say anything about bluetooth but it was wireless.
TIA!
Anybody get it working with nesoid? Does the mapping have to be messed around with?
I gave up on nesoid and decided to try NES.emu .........it works awesome, has built in support for wii controller (however you still need wiimote) and it has full screen.
It is a paid app though.....

Wouldve been nice.. I need a gamepad for my tablet, About to buy that onlive universal controller.
Funny, I'm looking for the same thing.
Is there nothing out there that can do this?
Hope no one minds if I bring this thread back - I've been looking around for solutions for this (even before this thread) and stumbled upon androdhid a while back, but I still haven't tried it out:
http://code.google.com/p/androhid/
I more recently found android-bluetooth-touchpad and actually gave it a try:
http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth-touchpad/
I couldn't get it to work with Windows, but maybe I was doing something wrong or maybe they were running into the same problems that androhid ran into (they talk about it here: http://code.google.com/p/androhid/wiki/AndroHid ), but I did get it to work with my Android tablet and was able to use it to move the mouse pointer around and click, but the keyboard feature didn't seem to work very well. In contrast, androhid claims to provide a working keyboard, but no mouse support due to technical hurdles, although a commenter mentioned he had extended it to get mouse support working (I tried contacting him, but no response).
So anyway, we have here two at least somewhat working solutions that at least work with Linux/Android, if not Windows. And they're open source.
How interested would ya'll be in adapting these into something with the Xperia Play in mind, so you can use your Xperia Play as a bluetooth gamepad compatible with Linux/Android tablets? (and also as a mouse/keyboard) I may try and work on this if I can find/make the time. It'd be nice to get it working with Windows too, but that might be further off. Or if someone else wants to spearhead it, I'd be willing to help as I'm able. I'm not promising I'll have much time for this any time soon though, but it hopefully shouldn't be too hard.
Or does anybody already have some other good solutions for this? Seems like the solutions I've seen either aren't very good, or rely on custom software on both sides of the connection (both a client and a server, whereas by following the HID standard, you only need custom software on one side-use app on the phone and connect to any android tablet with bluetooth hid support, which most ICS and beyond tablets will and maybe some Gingerbread).
Further down the road I'd even like to get USB HID working, but I'm pretty sure that would require kernel-level development. (ie connect your phone via USB and it acts as a USB controller too)
EDIT: Or maybe I necro'ed the wrong thread, but not sure this one had any good answers either:

If it helps, such an app would be relatively easy to make for the buttons and dpad but not the touch pad.
The problem is no one had any incentive to do it.
It would be awesome if the maker of TabletRemote would implement it, he already took care of all the grunt work (nice ui, register each other, settings, etc.)
I made a proof of concept app in a few hours and it worked just fine.
I don't know what the point if this post is.

I was really just hoping to stir up some interest to motivate me to actually do some Android development. I'd like to spend some time doing Android development, but I rarely have the motivation since I do enough programming as my full-time job and tend to want to relax and do other things when not at work.
You're right, it seems like there isn't that much incentive for this, so it would be nice if developers who already have apps that are so close to what we're talking about to extend their solutions to cover this.

Good to know that that combination works out, even if it is a bit roundabout! Shows that having a workable solution matters more to users than following standards. (EDIT: And I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm just saying getting something working is what's most important, worrying about following standards and implementation details is something programmers worry more about than users)

There should be an app that allows to use the Xperia Play as a gamepad on PC. I thinks it's an idea that would completely rock.
I think you can do that already. Just acts as a HID.

Yeah, I would like that eventually too. Unfortunately, that's more difficult to do, at least as a true HID device... both the androhid and bluetooth touchpad projects I mentioned ran into a roadblock trying to work with a Windows host (because they don't quite emulate a true/full HID device, just almost, which is "good enough" for Linux). Connecting to Linux distributions which use the Bluez bluetooth stack is very doable, however. Maybe it'll be possible to modify/recompile the Android Bluez bluetooth stack to overcome this, but that makes it much more challenging and puts it further off.
There might be other strategies involving custom driver software on the PC to make it work though that would be easier. (The advantage of operating to the HID standard is that it works with PCs/tablets/phones out of the box without special drivers/software on the host)
Do go watch the demo linked to on the page below, he uses his app in gamepad mode to control a mario-like game running on Linux:
http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth-touchpad/
EDIT: Or guess the non-HID solution already exists as Mysticales pointed out above. Note that it is likely not truely emulating a HID device since it requires Java software on the PC. Still, it should get the job done!

I just managed to use my Xperia Play as a controller via wifi for my PC and it works WONDERFULLY!
Heres what i did
downloaded and install this :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pcon&hl=en&rdid=app.pcon&rdot=1
you also need to download the PC client for it to work
Theres a Xperia play mode included but its awful , some buttons dont work and the X button fails to register after using the dpad.
So what i did was use Joypad 1 (the one with the on screen controls)
And used GameKeyboard with a 6 button controller.
End results? it worked perfectly.

[Q] Moga PRO - WIN8

Hello XDA,
I am going to purchase the Moga Pro controller today and was wondering if the controller can be used on Win8Pro in HID mode? as I would like to use it to game on my Acer Iconia W700 as well as on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Thank You,
I would like to know this as well. It does have HID mode so I would think it would work but since on the phone you need a special app to use it...
Hi,
Just found this review on Amazon. According to that person you should be able to though not all the buttons work, namely the triggers.

Hello,
I have the Moga Pro.
It works on Windows 8 (mode B, HID)
Only R2 and L2 don't work, but it's not a problem with the controller.
R2 & L2 works with ShadowGun & Mupen64 in HID mode.
I don't understand the problem but it's software.

Have you managed to play any games on it?
No, I just tested it as per the setup described. I currently only play games on my Playstation 3 (not with the MOGA obviously) and on my 12.2 tablet, and my PC it's only Civ 5, but that's mostly if I'm at sea. At home I mostly use the PS3. I just tested it with Win 8.1 in relation to a review I did for a website confirming that it works with Win 8.1. How well that would work in actual games I haven't tested, but I assumed it would, since there's be no reason for anyone to use this feature otherwise.

Again, old thread, but I've written a program called MogaSerial that finally does fully support the Moga controllers on Windows 7, 8, and 10, using their mode A serial connection. It interfaces with either the vJoy joystick driver for DirectInput support or the SCP virtual bus driver for XInput support. All buttons and triggers work properly.

There's some troubleshooting information on the GitHub project wiki page. If you've already checked that, it'd be helpful if you could open an issue there with your type of Moga controller and version of Windows. I've done pretty extensive testing with the Pro on Win7 and 10, and had reports of the Hero working fine, but there are a number of other models I don't have access to.

Zel-os, thanks so much for this; I've been hoping someone would make a driver for a long time now. Works great with my Moga Pro on Win 7 64-bit. :good:
This is a great app, and works as advertised on my Power Pro, in Windows 8.1. This is a gaming laptop. The Asus ROG G750JH (I7 Intel, 12GB RAM, Nvidia 860M). It's a pretty powerful rig (for a laptop), but I am getting lag in SCP mode on Skyrim. It is very random, but it never goes more than 1 minute without getting a short burst of severe lag. I haven't tried other games yet, but I will try some soon.
I think you have done some great work with this, and hope that it can be improved even more (mainly the lag). In fairness, sometimes there IS some lag using Inputmapper for my DS4 controller (wirelessly. Wired works perfect all the time), but it is under 4ms MOST of the time. I will do some more testing, because it MIGHT be my system not your app at all (that is to blame here).
Thanks for the feedback!
I'd like to be able to stomp out the remaining lag issues, but it's been difficult to tell where they're coming from. Sometimes it seems like the problem is an issue with various bluetooth radios or their drivers, and other times it seems like it could be related to MogaSerial needing to run in user space rather than as an actual driver. Every latency report seems different, which has made it awfully hard to pin down the cause.

Your welcome. I have had this controller for a long time, and have waited all that time for some way to use it in Windows (with full functionality). So, THANK you for doing this for everyone!
As an update (and some more testing), I have found that there is very little lag in certain situations. First, I need to explain my setup, so you can get my meaning without me having to write an entire book. I have an Asus ROG G750JH gaming laptop. It has a generic Broadcom BT built-in. On my "desktop" setup (in my computer room, at my desk) I have a Logitech Orion gaming keyboard plugged in, a Logitech G700S gaming mouse (sometimes I switch to Logitech G602 gaming mouse), HDMI going to a 42" Roku TV, a sound bar that has a BT subwoofer, and of course my Moga (sometimes a DS4 controller).
Now that we have that out of the way, this is where I was trying to use my controller when I posted my last. Since then, I have used it in my living room (with none of the above hooked up to the laptop except the controller. I noticed that I have no lag (or at least not noticeable to me). So, it is possible that there was interference from the wifi on both the laptop, and the TV. And, there might have also been some due to the BT connection from the soundbar to its subwoofer counterpart.
I will keep testing this to see if I can duplicate the lag with no other devices in the backgroud (except the wifi on the laptop and wireless router itself). I have also noticed that my controller likes to jump to the right once in a while (the "strafe" stick) (once in a while means in between 0 seconds, and about 2 minutes, never more than that). Now, this COULD be my controller, but I don't remember having this jitter issue in android (though I will try and test this also).
One thing that makes me thing that all these devices are the culprit is that when I use my DS4 controller, I can sometimes get up to (and including) 320ms spikes of lag. This doesn't ALWAYS happen, but when it does, I just hook up the USB cable and use it that way, with no lag. So, there MIGHT be nothing to be done, if it is hardware related.
I know you can change the poll rate to speed things up a bit, but if there is a lot of traffic going on in Windows this will still cause lag. I wonder if there isn't a way to change affinity for your app and all daughter/parent processes like you can in task manager for programs. I am no programmer, so this may sound silly or impossible, but if the controller connection, and all software related to it were given priority by the OS, it would solve the lag (IMO). I realize that the OS might not be programmed (out of the box) to do this because the BT connection doesn't actually show up on task manager, so the option is not available for it, but could an app be made for this?

[Q] Android phone as wii remote

Hoping I havn't missed a topic on this, but I think I've been around. Most are posts are old or focus on actually connecting a wiimote to the android phone. The issue is I got a wii with homebrew installed. Homebrew requires a wiimote to actually select anything in the menu. I do not have my wiimotes (got 4 game cube controllers), and don't really use them, but I obviously need one to simply get over the menu / select a game. So is it possible / is there some app which allows you to emulate the wii controller and connect the android device to the wii? Again, not the other way around, I'm not interested in using a wiimote with my android.
Figured it shouldn't be too hard to make, so I am quite puzzled I havn't been able to find anything.
//tq
