hey all!
I just got my samsung galaxy 10.1 tablet and am relatively new to the android scene... ive got Calkulin's_GT-P7510_HMJ37.UEKM7_ROM (touchwiz ux) on my tablet so far...ive been reading about some roms that have xbox 360/ps3 controller support, and i have some questions
first off im big into the emulation thing, so im looking for a controller that has similar button layouts to the ps3/xbox controllers just because they would work best with all the emulators...here come the grey parts...so far im not sure the best way to get a decent working controller for emulation...i know u can usb or bluetooth. does anyone know if that actually works? which is best bluetooth or usb? (with usb i know i would need to buy the samsung usb adapter but does that actually work with a usb controller?) if not what would be the best solution for a ps2 style gamepad (or ps3/xbox360). i dont mean to drone on but i am just trying to find a controller that doesnt suck for emulation purposes...any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
mods please delete this thread, as i posted this in the Q&A threads for the samsung galaxy tab in which this question is related to...thanks and sorry for the double post/inconvenience

I bought one of these for my son for christmas. Dont laugh at it being coby. It is probably the best built product they have ever made. (i know not saying much but still its pretty damn solid). My question is i would like to install snesoid on it so he can play his games. But i would like to be able to use a controller to make it easier to play for him. Would the power A controller work. I know the coby will read a usb keyboard, but dont know if the powera controller acts as a usb keyboard. Any thoughts. I would post a link to the controller but not allowed yet. If you go to power A . c o m its the one under ps3 that has the slide out keyboard. Thanks!!!
Partly answered my own question in the last couple of days. Installed snesoid and it runs very well. Hooked up a keyboard and was able to map the keys, so lack of multitouch is no longer a problem in the games. Can anyone confirm a usb controller working with this or is it only a keyboard. Buying one today but if someone knew that a paticuler brand worked well it would help me thanks!!
Hello,
I'm being dead serious about this. I want a way to attach the Classic Controller (wireless datel) to the actual Galaxy S. I know for certain that there is no real attachment for this. But is there perhaps a combination of cases which could somehow be attached?
For example a clip on case for the GS, then a case for the classic controller. Then connect the 2 together.
Only serious replies please if any. It would make an awesome portable gaming device. Shame that the GS has no keyoard+game gripper.

your thinking something similar to this right?
the first problem you need to solve is how to connect the wii controller to sgs via bluetooth. it's a problem that still hasn't been resolved for any htc or newer samsung phone... tons of threads on this.
so really no point figuring out how to physically attach the wii controller to the sgs
Well I've seen a video of the classic controller working on the GS. Also they don't work in HTC sense phones due to the SenseUI (i so believe) so after rooted and they have a stock rom without sense I don't see why it wouldn't work out :O
Wiimotes don't work on stock sgs firmware
Incompatible bluetooth stack
They will work on cm7 however
Then I would go on CM7 i guess

Better not risk it though, if your phone gets bricked... Just all because you wanted to play those big memory space wii games on the galaxy s. And anyway, small screen, short battery life I don't think you will enjoy
Its not for playing wii games. Its for all the emulators. Even if i didn't use the wiimote I would still load it with CM7 (dont have one yet).
any progress?
this is something i would like to see for sure!
does the wireless one work on CM7 currently? even that is awesome
I have searched XDA and many other forums to see if there is a kernel, or any mod or tweak which will allow someone with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 to use a wired XBOX 360 controller, or a Bluetooth controller designed for android with the device. Every other "workaround" I have tried does not work, or they are very outdated.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
P.S. I have an OTG cable and the wired XBOX 360 controller already, I was going to buy the Bluetooth one in case that did not work.
I purchased a UGREEN USB OTG Adapter from Amazon and I'm having some issues with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ (64GB). USB Thumb drives work fine, but I'm trying to connect an Xbox 360 wired controller and its not working. The controller works great on my older Galaxy S4; I can play a bunch of games and it's awesome, but not on the S6 Edge+. I downloaded a USB app from the Store and it detects it as a "Microsoft Controller". I've seen a video on YouTube that shows it working, so I'm not sure what I can do.
I'd really love to get a UtorCase for the controller and phone, but I want to make sure the controller works before I do.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does your system require IR blaster? If so the S6Edge Plus doesn't have one therefore won't work as a remote. Also since you have a Sprint variant you'll need to post any questions in Sprint threads you'll have a better chance of getting questions answered there. This is an international thread.

I have the Verizon variant with the same issue, I know these phone don't come with the IR blaster but from my slight knowledge that should have nothing to do with using a wired game pad with an On The Go(OTG) cable I've searched everywhere to figure out why my s4 could do what my s6edge+ cannot now. The most I've been able to do is guess that the s6edge+ doesn't support xinput yet I've seen many videos where people are using the 360 controller. I've recently upgraded to Android 6.0.1 my model # is SM-G928V and it seems the problem is still there least for my handset it still doesn't work...
I have the same problem with my internstional model..but im using ps4 controller..i can find it via bluetooth..but noticed button actions are very slow so i tried with OTG and sixxaxis app... my phone just wont find the OTG but only when i want to use a game controller..
After about a week of trying, I have wireless 360 controllers working on my s6 active. I'm using a Microsoft 360 controller receiver and an otg cable. I had to find a legit USB BT Joy Center apk (not the gold version, it kept disconnecting my controller) and then I found an app called Lucky patcher that let me remove the license verification on the app, since it has been abandoned by the developer. No root required! It allows you to keymap, so I can use multiple 360 controllers for emulators (Mario kart tested), and I even used it to play games streaming from my computer with Moonlight.
how you did it

i've got the same issue and everything is legit same problem can you give the instructions or the how to
Hey Folks,
As the title suggests - I did read somewhere that Samsung has removed support in some form or other but can't for the life of me recall where.
I have searched and unfortunately can't come across any answers - a few questions similar but no answers.
So what I'm trying to find out is - why the xbox 360 controller doesn't work with my brother's S7 (UK variant) & if there is a way to re-enable it. He is running a stock, rooted ROM (which one I'm not sure, but it's not been flashed over).
Cheers folks
