[Q] Sixaxis Controller app on the Triumph

Just wondering if any has tried to par up a PS3 controller to the Triumph using the Sixaxis Controller app on the Market? Since the Triumph has a HDMI out the combo would be great for games on the TV.

I dunno man, I have no gaming system. But there is a fully-functional accelerometer in the Triumph and a decent compass too (does that even help?) so it should be a possibility.

Yes they work.
I have played a gripton of emu games on my triumph. I play ocarina of time using the wii+nunchuck and I also use my dualshock from time to time. Make sure if you are on stock to get the umph kernel to overclock your phone(don't overclock it too much, I usually go for 1.3-1.5) when you are using n64oid. If you're on CM7 grab isaac's kernel... I have yet to try the psx emulator... I'm going to download some psx games tommorrow and try some ps1 classics and see how that works out. Starfox however was streaming not bad actually, almost no lag, but sometimes an ocasional hiccup comes up, just pause and resume, if the screen freezes. Damn I digressed! YES PS3 CONTROLLERS (using the sixaxis app) AND THE WIIMOTE (using the wiimote controller app) ARE WORKING ON TRIUMPH!
However a while back I wanted to pair up 2 dualshocks on the n64oid but I could only pair one. Maybe by now this feature has been implented? I'm going to check this out tommorrow too.

Glad to know ill be able to use the sixaxis app with games.

Yes, I have also successfully paired and played a Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Nintendo, and PS1 games with my PS3 controller. It takes a lil while to first setup the bluetooth pairing and then mapping the controller to the specific buttons (which you may have to change for certain games to play right) but it is quite fun!
I did have trouble pairing two controllers as well. I'm curious to see if that is even possible!

Use Controller with Android Games?

Is it possible to either an Xbox360 or PS3 controller with Android Games such as Sprinkle, Angry Birds, Dungeon Defenders, T-Racer, etc...?
I'm also getting mixed info on whether or not its possible to use PS3 and Xbox360 controllers Wirelessly?

not sure about those games but i use a wii remote for all my emulator games.

The game/application must explicitly support it. The only ones I know of that do right now are the emulators, Riptide, and the new Shadowgun(awesome btw).
I think you can use the XBOX 360 controller wirelessly with the USB dongle, which kinda defeats the purpose. No clue about PS3

Thanks, that's what I figured.

You can use the ps³ controller wirelessly with an app called sixaxis. Works amazing on shadowgun and emulators. Im sure itd also work with riptide but i dont have that game.

Thanks! I'll try it out.

The PS3 SixAxis app does the same thing as the WiiMote app. It binds the buttons to letters... which can be MAPPED in Emulators and games that support button bindings.
So Wireless gameplay on native android apps is probably a no go (except ShadowRun since it supports button bindings).
WIRED gameplay is totally different. Android supports WIRED controllers out of the box since 3.1 or 3.2... This should work... to some extent. Your using a controller for a game which requires touch input... may not work well. YMMV!

which driver do you use? I used RWiimote back in the day with my G2 without issue, but it immediately force closes on the transformer.
I got sixaxis working great last night, but it slugs the game down pretty bad. But at the time I was just rooted with bone stock otherwise, I'm in the process of flashing a custom rom, hopefully runs better with CPU tweaks. The only issue I was having with emulators was that I had to specifically select "Use Input Method" in SNES Emu, and I think N64 the option is called Use IME.

SNES Four Players?

Hi There,
I'm using the Sixaxis app to connect four PS3 controllers. I am using SuperGNES for SNES emulation.
Wondered if anyone had any success configuring and using four PS3 controllers (or Wii remotes) to play games like Super Bomberman or NHL 94?
If so how do you configure four controllers? I can only see options for two.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
- Sean

I can't help you.. but..
Wii-motes? :O Please give more info.

Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm using a Wifi Motorola Xoom, running ICS and attempting to use any SNES emulator in conjunction with four Playstation 3 controllers. The controllers themselves are easily recognized via Bluetooth by the SixAxis Controller app, but I cannot seem to find an emulator for Android that supports more than two of them.
While I was able to get four Nintendo Wii Wiimotes recognized and configured via Snes9x EX, I'd really prefer to get four Playstation 3 controllers working.
Just wondered if anyone had ever attempted this and found success.

Wait, I think I found your problem. IIRC, SNES had a max of 2 controller ports. Even PC emulators can't run in 3-4+ player mode.
N64 has 4 players.
But are you saying 4-players works fine with the wiimotes..?

Hey StickMan,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Actually the SNES released a peripheral called the "Multitap" which allowed four player gameplay with certain games. Among them was NHL 94.
I was actually successful in getting four players to work with an emulator called
Snes9x EX which allows you to "Enable Multitap".
I was then able to connect and configure four Wiimote controllers and play with four players.
Snes9x EX has native support for Wiimote controllers, but I could not seem to connect or configure PS3 controllers.
Would love to be able to get those working!

Game controller driver input not working

So, I originally used my PS3 controller to play games on my tablet. I loved it but for some games you had to go in and map certain controls for different games.
Well I read that there are supposed to be drivers in the TF101 to support game controllers so everything is mapped correctly. I used that before and used that with my Onlive controller. I got the controller so I could play onlive. I did some method of inputing commands into terminal to get it to work for most of my apps.
This was when I was on honeycomb and revolver. I am on stock ICS right now. Not the newest update yet. I could never get dead space or pocket legends to work with the controller. I find it strange though that for the xperia play games like dead space and others work. Technically, if the tablet recognized the controller I don't see why it does not work.
The only real flaw with the onlive controller is for EMUS the bumper triggers cannot be mapped. Like L2 and R2. Won't even work for shadowgun. So basically, I am wondering if there is another way to get more games to work with controllers besides doing the emulator terminal thing. I am not sure if updating restores that as well.
Thank you.

[POLL]Who uses game system emulators on their phone?

I am only using Johns gbc emulator. Any other good ones out there?

I use GameBoid (GBA) and FPse (PS1) emulators. GameBoid is not on the market anyone (no clue why) but I still like it the best. FPse is $4USD. When you use these, you need to get a hold of the BIOS files (obviously) and the actual game files. Anyone know of any good sites to get roms for either PS1 or GBA? Thanks.

Only time I used an emulator was when I jailbroke my iPhone for the very first time back in 2008. It was great for about a month, but I noticed that my phone was running slower and not performing as good as it used to.
Haven't had an emulator ever since.

I'm using SuperGNES on my skyrocket. All the game ROMs i found have played flawlessly. The only thing is getting the controls layed out so that my mitts actually hit the correct buttons lol

Try CoolRom.com They had a ton of ROMS for games I thought I would have no chance in hell in finding.

Thanks for the replies guys

I use GBCoid (Gameboy/Gameboy Color), turn based RPGs like Pokemon work rather well with it. Anything more complex becomes an exercise in frustration though, so I dont bother with other genres.

only gameboid and fpse tried n64 one way too many buttons

I use vNESlight and Blue Tomato (Sega emulator) on my WP7 device...

I use anDosBox to play old DOS games on my Android phone.

I use gameboid for gameboy advance games and FPse for playstation 1 games.

I tried the NES Emulator

For PS1 games I use Xperia Play, umad? jk. I'd like to use mupen64plus Xperia Play version but I can't afford it from my country so I count on N64oid for N64 games. For GameBoy, Gameboid. If you don't have the Xperia Play you can use FPSe.

I use Droidemulite and you can actually use different system roms on it. I have my wiimote connected to it and its really good. I play it on my HP touch pad so I have a nice big screen to play on. Oh the emulator app is free by the way.

I can (and do) play almost every game on my HTC Vision.
Only games I can't faithfully recreate is 2D fighters

snes........

SuperGNES Lite

my Nokia n9 has an emulator that has nes, snes, gba, psx, amiga, and pico all in one. Its the best mobile emulator I've ever seen.

Gameboid to play RPGs like Mother 3 which is free in the SlideME Market http://slideme.org/application/gameboid
FPSE for some random gaming here and there. Playing Monster Rancher Card Battle II currently
$3.99 in Android Market https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emulator.fpse&hl=en
MAME4droid Reloaded (0.139) to play random arcade games

I love playing pokemon red on my Evo 3D. Sometimes I wish I had a keyboard so I could play faster-paced games.. Sometimes you lose where the joypad is on a touchscreen.

I tried out a few emulators back when I was using my Milestone.
I had Gameboid and the other *oid ones for nes and snes I think.
I used them with a wiimote for that authentic dpad and buttons feeling even though my phone had a keyboard.
It was a little bit awkward though, with the controller and the phone not being physically connected. It made me nervous balancing my phone on my knee while holding the wiimote with both hands, so I ended up going back to my DS and PSP for most of those kind of games and only playing actual android games on my phone.
