[Info] Native games that can use PS3 controller via USB - 7 Working - Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps

Hi all,
Since HC3.1 starts supporting gaming controllers, what other native games (non-emulator) have you found working with your PS3/XBox controller with your TF ?
Here's the working list for PS3 via USB
1) Cordy
2) Gem Miner: Dig deeper (R d-pad or analog to move, L3 to deploy ladder)
3) Pinball by Magma Mobile games (Map-able keys but only runs on potrait mode)
4) Amageddonoid (Fully functional but small screen play)
5) Grave Digger Full & Free (DPad to control, Circle to dig)
6) Battle Bears Lite - Xperia play (Playable - Almost all keys working need to investigate further)
7) Zenonia 2 (All except special binded actions doesn't work; need to press on screen to activate - fair I guess)
I'm testing and will update here of my findings, please contribute if you had found any. Your best bet is to look for games that had been optimized for Xperia Play gamepad (or just Xperia Play).

Quick side Q on this...
Was anyone able to get their X360/PS3 pad working wirelessly? With the x360, you'd need to USB-to-PC receiver, and I have one but wasn't able to get it going. Otherwise, maybe the PS3 one would work wirelessly?
I also tried my Play N Charge cable for my x360 controller, but that didn't work either (reported that said cable does not supply data, only current).
So, I guess what I'm asking is...Is the only way to get X360/PS3 controllers working is if you wire them into the USB port on the dock? If it's an X360 pad, of course you would need a traditional wired version I also assume.
Failing these pads, I'm still going to try to get a Datel Retro Wii Classic Wireless pad, but they're sold out everywhere!
(didn't mean to bring this off-topic, but to answer your Q, I can only backup your report of Cordy. It works for me with my WiiMote)

I've only played Cordy with a controller, and it didn't seem to like my USB Saturn pad. Considering that 3.1 is brand new, I doubt developers have been given enough time to start adding support for gamepads, and even then I'm still not even sure if it will be a popular feature. The Acer Iconia is the only Honeycomb tablet that has a standard USB port on the tablet itself, while the Transformer requires the keyboard dock and the Xoom needs an adapter, and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 doesn't even support an adapter.
I think gamepad support is going to be isolated to emulators for a while, at least until a major developer decides to build a high-profile game that is best played with a controller. But even then there's the issue of building a game around the requirement that the consumer go out and buy a third party accessory. Consumers are historically stubborn and lazy, and will often refuse to purchase extra peripherals for gaming systems if they can get away with using the included controls on the system.
PCs don't often see ports of high profile console games because the developers lose a lot of sales by trying to force the consumers to buy an extra game controller to play their game, and those that plan on doing without expect that the developers are going to make the game playable on keyboard/mouse anyway. The same principle would apply to tablets and phones, wherein consumers are going to expect to be able to play all games simply by using the accelerometer and touch screen. It's tough to sell a game that needs extra peripherals, especially when you don't have the support of a major game company like Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony. Using existing gamepads is a great feature, but there's no way to enforce the usage of one particular gamepad unless someone offers a game and gamepad together in a single bundle.
Only time will tell if gamepads are going to become more popular on Android.

I use my keyboard dock for all USB devices, so I can't comment on the wireless capabilities for 360/PS3 controllers. I do know though that Datel's wireless Wii controller is available directly from the Codejunkies website.
Edit: I just noticed the controller is out of stock. That makes me sad.

I noticed that the controller maps to the direction keys as well. For example, I remember trying to use the controller to scroll to the next home screen in launcher pro. Hence if there are games that uses the direction keys on an android device that has keyboard (i.e. G1), there may be chance that we can use controller to control the game instead.
Btw, I mean it's wired controlled, not wireless...

Confusion over wiimote

I bought two classic controller pros to use with my transformer. I found the free wiimote controller program does not recognize the classic controller pro. The paid app wii controller ime does recognize the controller but does not program the analog stick. Is there a solution that works? It's fine for nes and snes but the n64 emulators need an analog stick.
Do you have access to a regular classic controller, not a pro? I have used WiimoteController by ccp creations (but haven't tested on the most recent release), was successfully using my regular classic controller with my wiimote playing Mario 64. I can't imagine there'd be a major difference electronics wise between the standard and pro, I thought it was more a grip difference.
i'm having the same problem with the classic controllers that i bought from ebay last week - i can't get the keys mapped at all so am unsure if they work.
i think i have the non-pro controllers (they don't have the extra handles that rest on your palms ...)
any ideas ?
Not sure what your problem might be but i found out what my problem is. I have fake classic controller pros the front is very well faked but the back doesn't have the nintendo logo etched in. So CCP's program didn't recognize it. What pisses me off is the paid wiimote app DID recognize it. The problem is that one doesn't support the analog sticks. So i got screwed out of 25$ buying the controllers and 4$ buying a wiimote prog i didnt need.
I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think analog sticks are supported on any controller (wii, ps3, xbox) or via any program. Some of the wii controller programs emulate the anolog stick by generating fast, short d-pad inputs, but that's as far as the support goes.

[Q] Universal, real, proper gamepad support?

ok, so more and more interesting games are coming out like GTA III but in my oppinion touch-interface controls are completely useless.
As the tf101 has a usb port, you can use usb-gamepads with it - the problem is though that most games do not accept input from the keyboard (the gamepad basically just pushes kb buttons) but only the touchscreen or a few hw buttons
isnt there some way we could "emulate" the touch controls or something in order to use real hgamepads in any game or emu? i know most emus support keyboard input and work with pads, but most games dont.
in many cases steering via the gamepad still works, but the action buttons remain unmapped for most games.
I dunno much about the eeeePad Transformer, but if it will do OTG (on the go) support, you can get an adaptor and a USB gamepad.
Search thru youtube or Amazon for OTG adaptor.

I can't see how this could be implemented all that awesomely, that it would be all that much better for the work. May as well bribe developers to patch in suitable support.

Game controller with Bluetooth for games Question

Can I use a bluetooth wimote or bluetooth playstation controller with the Note 10.1. I would like to play some old Nintendo games I used to play back in the day with the emulators. I read that you can use bluetooth controllers when playing games which I would prefer since the whole on screen controls don't appeal to me and I find it difficult. My question is do I need root in order to set this up or can I do it with stock on the 10.1. I heard of some sixaxis app or something but don't know if I need it. looking for some help since I'm sure others on this board know a lot more about this than I do. If anyone has any other advice for me...I'm all ears. Thanks

I'm not sure about the Wii mote, but the Sixaxis app is specific to playstation controllers I believe and requires root so i doubt it would work on the stock 10.1.

+1 for this query.
On the TF101, you just needed to connect a PS3 pad via the USB port and press some buttons to verify it worked. This in turn synced the controller. After this switching on the tablets blue tooth and pressing the PS logo on the PS3 controller would allow it to work via blue tooth. No root or sixaxis app needed. I'm guessing that won't work here?
What about purchasing the usb connector kit for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that supposedly works with the Note 10.1. Get the connection kit plug in the usb controller into the usb port on the connection kit and see if it allows it to synch with bluetooth like you listed above. I would love to know if this works.
If you want to play Nintendo games I suggest the NES.emu emulator from the play store. It will discover wii motes in app and you can use them to play. Works very well with no root.

PS3 Sixaxis controller needs root and the app. You can always use an xbox controller wired or wireless (with dongle via usb and app) more work though. Or connect a bluetoothe keyboard or wired keyboard.
As for emulators I recomend that you get droidemu lite and support the developer and get the full support as this emulator has all worthy emulators in it except n64 and ps1. He is very responsive to issues and fixed issues in a timely manner.
I just tested with mine and I was able to connect a Wii Remote using WiimoteController in less than 5 minutes. I tried it for a few minutes in GTA3, no problems so far.
Can confirm Sony PS3 wireless bluetooth controller works with SixAxis but requires root. Aside from the convenience of wireless controller it also extends the life of your port connector from wear and tear.

Working beautifully in my smart q t20 tab with an ipega BT controller.
I use option scr invert X and swap X/Y, in out device
Great work! Much better than sixaxis controller and free!!!
This could be a great tool to get some games working on an OUYA. I'll play around with this as soon as I have the time and report back! Thanks!
I have been able to get the ouya control sticks working by swapping x/y axises and inverting the x axis. So far I have set this up for dead tiger and minecraft.
event_strategy.ouya_game_controller_0.stick0.axis_swap=1
event_strategy.ouya_game_controller_0.stick0.axis_x=X

are there any video tutorials? or step by step guides? Honestly I have no idea how to use this and didn't understand the wiki page
Exclude devices
Is there any way to exclude device that is conected beacause you dont want to use it in games?
for example i have Conectet to my ouya wireless usb keyboard and mouse witch i dont use in games...
without some tutorials, this is useless! i appreciate the time you spent making this but most of us here have no idea how to use it.
the videos on youtube show just some people paying games, no real DEMONSTRATION.
i'm using NYKO playpad pro and i can't control most of my games.
this might be the right app.
Awesome!
Thank you Tincore, I must say this app is very useful not only for gaming but for my home entertainment.
I use my S4 connected to TV via MHL adapter and ipega wireless controller, both works pretty good and setup is quite easy for me.
To make it more perfect, it possible to have auto load profile to a specific profile? because I want my non games use specific profile (with hybrid virtual pointer and home,back,etc shortcut so I can easily go around the launcher and other app movie, gallery from my couch) but when launching specific game, I want it to load specific game profile.
Also can you explain extra paid support feature below,
- Add extra touch controls? --> what other extra touch? why is it useful?
- Analog stick input? --> I dont understand, sorry
Each extra feature has different price and almost $25 for all features, do you have premium one with cheaper price
I don't see any overlaid buttons at all when I have my Moga connected to my Nexus 4. Are they supposed to show up automatically when I open Tincore?
Edit - figured it out, have to press buttons to get them to show up, working perfectly now
How do you do to use it with a bluetooth gamepad?
It doesn't seem to recongnize my gamepad if I hit the refresh option on tincore and click que bluetooth sync button on the gamepad, so how is it supposed to connect to the gamepad?
Is there someone who can help me to setup my moga pro to play at order and chaos?!
Michealtbh? Can you help me?

Open Tincore then minimize it. Open the game, launch Tincore while in the game (I use Smart Statusbar to help with this) then map the buttons. It couldn't be easier.
You really need to be more specific if you need help.
help
man.. i really need your help. i have lenovo s920 and.. i tried to pair it with ipega via tincore. but it doesnt work,, just force close. i try blueimez and bt joystick and it just the same. but only tincore can detect my ipega. my you have a solution..
my s920 run in jelly bean 4.2.1.
I still can't get a hang of it of Tincore Keymapper. Im trying mapped keys for touch screen games mc4, shadowgun,fifa, codboz, etc for use with xbox 360 wireless controller on a mk802iv android pc mini. Basically, whenever I make tincore visible to mapped out the touch screen keys, it either pause the game or black it out. I probably gonna have to use post-it notes to tape position of touch keys on my smart tv. Even opening the app is a pain in the ass cause most of the times it just force close out tincore. Plus, the 2 triggers buttons R2 and L2 are unusable in tincore.
Most of times, I learned how to use apps by tinking around for about a few minutes. I have been playing around with Tincore for a week now and still clueless about how to use it. wish there was a dumb-down tutorial on it.

Black shark helo My View: DONT BUY! Not a Real GAMEPAD. No HID . Disabled Touch

EDIT 2: Basically both controllers left and right are detected as A B X Y. There is no dpad. Its amazing that nobody on the Chinese forums (as far as google translate shows)is willing to acknowledge this as an issue. The Right side controller is only detected as a mouse pointer not even a right stick.
EDIT1: CORRECTIONS; The gamepad (LEFT SIDE ONLY) works as a normal HID controller on Other android phones(not on black shark HELO)..PPSSPP detects it as a normal analog. I was wrong in my initial view. However it still does not work on the helo phone properly. DIsabling game dock does not help there must be something else causing the issue. If anyone wants to tell me how to root this phone...I may be able to try a fix
Okay this is more of a warning to people who wish to buy the Black shark helo phone with Gamepad (dual 2.0 left and right). I will try to get a vid review done soon.
So I bought the Helo 128gb/8gb ram:
1. It comes with 1 left side gamepad and a case...(U CANT USE THIS CASE FOR DUAL LEFT AND RIGHT CONTROLLERS!) I had to buy a new Double controller case from aliexp along with the right side controller.
2. THIS IS NOT a HID gamepad. ( for example if you use other external/bluetooth gamepad emulators like ppsspp or games like implosion will detect the controller) This gamepad is not detected by some games iv tested. For example ppsspp will not recognize the Analog stick no matter what you do. Implosion and shadowgun legends straight up Disable touch controllers and fail to work with the gamepad. Moonlight has major problems working with this for gamestreaming
3. This gamepad is fine if you just want to map touch controls via the mapper (as long as the game doesnt auto disable touch controls)
4. The gamepad mapper is broken, the keys cannot be removed from the touchscreen. They stay stuck on the screen even when you dont want to use certain keys.
5. The helo phone has problems with games that support REAL HID gamepads even when no gamepad is connected. These games assume the gamepad is connected to the phone and disable the touch controls. (this is joy event issue which existed on many non HID Iready go Much devices)
6. You can use the Helo Phone with an ipega/other HID gamepads...still this will not help with games that disable touch (implosion wont work even with 3rd party controllers as the device is simply buged like older snail/much game phones ). However Moonlight gamestreaming can work with 3rd party controllers. The black shark 2.0 controls dont work properly as they are not real controllers.
7. There is no L3 /R3
8. Please be aware that most of the youtube videos DONT do proper reviews of this device with the dual game pads and Mainstream Sites dont either. Most are using preview clips and hands on clips as full reviews, these are disingenuous.
9. This wont be fixed. No amount of firmware patches can fix this as its a hardware flaw(judging from my past experience) Yes you can root and disable joy event files in the system folder but that will cause more problems.
10. If you want a proper gaming setup the POCCO F1 or any other Xaomi high end device is far better with a third party mapper/controller. This is simply only useful for touch mapping on casual games that dont have any native controller support..however you will get a better experience with a proper mapper and 3rd party controller.
I wrote this in a rush since there is nothing much out there about this device, a full on proper review is required.
