Quoting from PocketGamer.co.uk:
App.pcon [market.android.com/details?id=app.pcon] by Noire is a new app that connects the Xperia Play to your computer via Bluetooth and makes it act as a joypad or a touchpad mouse.
It also works with other Android devices by presenting a virtual joypad on the touchscreen.
App.pcon includes customisable key mapping and supports Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. It requires Java, a wi-fi or tethered connection, and the download of an companion app for your PC.
There have been similar Android apps released in the past offering the same functionality, but, as far as we can tell, this is the first to support the Xperia Play specifically.

So far only tested the mouse functionality, will test the Xperia Play controls once I reinstall my N64 emu. ;D

There are tons of apps out there that can turn xperia play as a pc gamepad but they take no advantage of the dual analogs.Now if a cool developer can create an app or modify a current one to let us use the touchpas it would be awesome.!!! I mean imagine using left touchpad for movement in an fps game, and right touchpad for camera movement with an option to adjust sensitivity.I am currently using app.pcon by Noire since it is easy to set up although it lacks the touchpads which are needed in every single 3d game.I played Darksouls with my play as controller although i found it hard to move with arrows and eventually i couldnt map every button i needed since all four dpad buttons were used as a movement option.Thank you for your time.If i could develop i would it myself for every xperia play owner but i lack the skills required::fingers-crossed:

You have 2 solutions Friend!
1) Install the application Kainy, use PC mode controller. And with gamekeyboard emulate analog like the mouse to control the camera in some games.
2) Install a Rom Android 4.0 or higher, and with the application USB / BT Joystick Center (which is better than gamekeyboard) and use the analog and mouse, and configure other keys to your liking.
Hope that helps,
If you need any help leave a more detailed tutorial
Kainy gives me some issues on controlling the mouse... :\ did you have any?

So there is no app i can use directly to emulate and map analogs on play?Altough i think it can be done somehow...
Maybe it can be done with Droidmote but i have a hard time installing drivers and it is getting very messy

but tasted the latest verson 1.40??
eh read that has some bugs, but it's pretty configurable within everything. And it depends on the PC and Internet speed you have, and you wear rom installed. For applications Gamekeyboard Kainy & USB BT Joystick Center or go smoother.
I have a 10 mb connection & a PC (Intel Quad Core i7 3770, AMD graphics card Radeon HD 6850 1GB DDR5, and 8 gigs of ram and GTA 4 is playable on my Xplay as gods.
For PS2 games on PC emulator. Kainy + USB / BT Joystick Center is excellent. Eh I did not tested yet, but I saw this video:

Preferably as a 360 Controller emulated if possible, for easy compatibility. This thing begs to be used as a PC controller, and I know it does with the official streaming app, but what about for emulators and older games? Is there already a viable solution for this? Wi-fi/Bluetooth would be nice, but I'm not above using USB.

from what I heard via the dev that worked on the project Microsoft gave resistance in in allowing the wifi controller.
If I had to take a guess this would be because the new controllers for XBOX one will use that connection method as microsoft was not happy.
Just a guess here from what I heard
Just like how there are virtual keyboard and mouse apps for phones, there's not really any reason why you couldn't use a Shield as a virtual controller, running software on both the device and the PC.
I was looking for an app that would emulate an XBOX 360 Controller on android and make it work via wifi to my PC.
It's like this apps of Mouse/Keyboard remote, so I could play away from PC, like laying on the bed. Is there an app like that?
Hello,
I never seen that kind of app.
How could an android (phone?) device replace a gamepad?
Or so, how could you use it?
To have an idea, test a snes emulator and you'll see that's not realy playable without true buttons/cross/sticks...
I would buy a wireless gamepad for computer or use a PS3 controller with a BT dongle.

The same way there's a WiFi Mouse & Keyboard app could be one WiFi Controller app.
I agree it's not as comfortable as a real gamepad but you get used to it. I have no problems playing games on ePSXe for example.

Ok, for me it's unplayable... Wish you will find
I know you can use your phone as game controller on windows system.
Is there a way to sync it with another Android as a controller?
Example:
I have android thumb drive on TV running MK4 on ng64 emulator and would like to use phone as controller via bt or wifi.
i can think of an app called Droidmote which should suffice your requirement for controlling another Android device using another one. This will require root though.
Have you ever wanted to play pc games with stunning graphics on your android device?
Now you can!
Requirements
1. Computer with Nvidia Graphics card (Supported: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600/700/800/900 series desktop or mobile GPU (GT-series GPUs won't work))

Open Geforce Experience in your Pc
Open the app on your Android device
Add i.p address of your pc.
Select Your Pc in the app & Pair.
Select the game that you want to stream from the app.
Wait for the game to start.
Most controllers will work just fine, but the following have been tested:
