Gamepad with the Transformer - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I know that the device has gamepad support since 3.1, but only it supports the official PS3/XBox 360 controllers?
Anyone tried with a different gamepad?
Thanks!

I have tried a generic Playstation style controller from Game, and it didnt show up at all, the power light lit up, but the controller didnt work in any games or apps.
I now have an official SixAxis Playstation controller working fine on USB from the dock.

Nice.
A few minutes ago I tried a playstation lookalike controller for 15euros and it did not work. Tried my cousins (almost the same) - and that worked. Strange, it looks like some of them are working, some of them not.

Found this article while browsing Tegra Zone.
http://www.tegrazone.com/news/cutthecord
Might be of interest. I got the exact same gamepad, but I don't have any Tegra Zone games to try it on. Would not work with Nesoid "out of the box". Didn't have the time to test any more at the moment.
Edit: I know the guide uses a Xoom, but don't think that should make big of a difference.

Gaming

So yesterday I downloaded Nesoid and a handful of ROMs for my Captivate. I had some fun playing them, but using the on screen virtual keyboard was really hard and it covered most of the gaming action. So I see that the new psx4droid supports wiimote. So I emailed the developer of Nesoid and suggested that he add that capability to his too and that other than that its a great emulator. He emailed back and this is his response
You can use other apps on the Market. But please enable input method in Nesoid settings.

What does this actually mean? Is there another app that I have to download and install first to get the wiimote to connect to my phone via bluetooth?
I dont have a wiimote yet, and before I go buy one, I'd like to know exactly how it works, if it will.
Search for "Wiimote controller" on the market, should work.
You can use a few bluetooth gamepads with android. One being
MSI Bluetooth Gamepad (BGP-100) which is a weird kinda swivel thing. I am going to gut a SNES controller and put the BGP-100 into it. It has been done before and everything seems to fit fine.
There is also another bluetooth controller made for blackberry's that works with android. It is vertical gamepad with a trigger control. Seems pretty nice.
I think you have to buy a market app to get the drivers to make the above 2 gamepads work.
Also as mentioned you can use a wiiremote as a gamepad for android. I have been looking for a wii classic controller + wii combo, so it does not have to be tethered to a normal wii controller to work. I want small and portable bluetooth with a dfecent amount of buttons that is why I am going with the SNES form factor.

Free, although it does say there isn't galaxy s support....so it might not work.
wiimotes currently do not work on the SGS phones because of the bt3.0. not sure on the other BT controllers
Are there any controllers that can be plugged in? Just wondering for flights...
Well I emailed the developer of Wiimote Controller and asked if they could update to support Galaxy S phones. This is there response:
Hello,
thank you for your feedback.
I don't think this will be possible with the current way Samsung's software is handling bluetooth.
Best regards,
Piki

Doesnt sound good for us getting to use a wiimote as a gamepad
Trying to play Nesoid with onscreen vitrual controller sucks, its too hard and I'm afraid of breaking my phone. Every time I get into the game and start tapping A or B rapidly I can feel it flex and creak in my hands.
Just wondering in anybody has made progress on getting a bluetooth controller for the captivate/galaxy s?
Ive been looking into it...and came to a bunch of dead ends aswell :sigh:

Please let me know if anyone finds a controller that works.
Thank you,

Speaking of games...
I wasn't able to find any in the market but I'm rooted so I know I can find games from other sources.
Are there any games like Alone in the Dark (horror genre) or fantasy role playing that would have the same type of graphics you'd see in WoW that I can put on my Captivate?

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.

How to map xbox 360 controller/gamepad/wiimote?

Hey guys, looks like after the update the 360 controller works now
Great news but what to do with it?
I mean, its great for mapping the controls to emulators but I Want to map it for android games! Like asphalt 6 and NOVA and others!
This would also help us to map wiimotes and other gamepads to other applications and games.
Anyone know how?
anyone? please?

see my other thread
no way to map wiimotes and gamepads to other games other than emulators?
On a side note. I used my standard USB gamepad and it works great. I don't think you need a 360 or PS3 pad specifically.
Just any old USB gamepad. Mine is a Saitek or something. It looks and feels like a PS3. Its too quality of PC gamepads.
I also have a wireless Wii gamepad that works well.
I tested this last night and the controls just work. You can't change the mappings but the buttons function. So Nova and others will work. You also have touch screen for those games if something came up which required touch input.
For emulators with key mapping... you just map ad normal.
For standard android games... they just work.

I never got my Rumble pads to work on the Transformer, funny enough they work perectly with a PS3 and I got a PS3 controller working with the transformer.

Sorry but i forgot to add this. Read through this link i think what your looking for is in here!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1054219.html
and if you need to download other emulators from the developer "yongzh" which by the way his emulators cannot be found on the Market because Google is being big jerks about it, you can still download them using his website.

Just a warning/observation. While from reading, though I haven't tried it yet, you appear to be able to use two controllers via bluetooth, hooking two differnt working usb contoller to the usb ports on the dock doesn't work in either the snesoid, nor N64oid. Instead you will find both controllers control both characters on the screen.

with Snex9x Ex the app allows you to make a wiimote player 1 and another player 2.
I have used my wii remote (plus classic controller) with n64oid but 1 player only.
To do this I used WiiController from the market first before opening n64oid.
It may not work 2 player though as it seems to map wii controls to the keypad.
i'll give it a go in the next wee while
Edit - Just tried and I couldn't get n64oid to do 2 player.
Consolation Snes9x EX should do no problem.

Super Gnes has two player. I use sixaxis for PS3 controllers.
I'm looking for two player MAME/CPS2/Neo-Geo. Especially with this coming:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/22/xbounds-adds-hdmi-mirroring-to-android-phones-lets-you-kill-th/
??? two player ???
Hello, I was wondering if I can connect 2 controllers to sixaxis and play it on N64oid. I tried one controller and works awesome, the second controller connects on sixaxis, but when I open a game on n64oid first controller works and the second one doesnt do anything. I then switched the controllers, but only whichever controller synced first works and the second one doesnt do anything. Please help...

You need to go into input settings and map the buttons for the second controller

Hoping to get an answer through this thread....
I have a TF201 with SNESoid from "Yongzh" and two PS3 Six-Axis controllers. Is there a way to play two player games using each of the controllers? I can get them both to "work", but they only control the 1st player. I have mapped one controller under controller 1 and the other under controller 2. Thing is, the button that is assigned to each control is the same, which is obvious since they are the same type of controllers, but I can't get the emulator to distinguish the two. Not sure if I make a ton of sense, but if you have a way to play 2 player on an SNES emulator for the TF201, I'd love to hear it.

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.
