This is an easy way for people to map onlive buttons to the xperia plays gamepad for use with Hatcyl's onlive helper app see this thread for more details on his app and link to download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382899
I Have made a generic onlive profile to be used with onlive helper app for full control of the onlive menu without having to touch the screen at all plus you can set lots of games to it for better all round use of onlive. This can be used for touchscreen supported or keyboard supported onlive games.
1.Easy messaging - It also enables you to chat with messages a bit like a ps3 instead of trying to type out on the tiny onscreen keyboard (Highlight the letter with the d-pad, x button to select your choice, circle to delete last choice and triangle for space bar).
2.Games - You can use this profile with any game that lets you change the ingame controll config to your own choices (e.g works with mx vs atv reflex, dirt3 plus finding more all the time ) each game you change settings in, the onlive game will save the customized config profile for any future play so only have to set them up 1 time.
3.onlive menu button config-
start - play game
select - toggle favorites
menu - sort games menu
circle - delete and back button in some game menus
square - only works for game mapping
triangle - space bar
cross - enter or select (menus and ingame)
back button - back in all menus
these 4 below all normal for easy selections in onlive menu and in game menus plus wont normally have to change them on ingame configs
up - up
down - down
left - left
right - right
left / right shoulders just a and b for mapping in games do nothing in menus at mo.
any of these hardware buttons (not back button) can be mapped to buttons in game if the game gives you the choice.
4.mouse - the mouse will be turned on in games that are not yet offically touchscreen supported.
any game that uses the mouse (which is emulated onscreen by onlive) change the mouse sensitivity and other mouse options (normally sliders) on the ingame settings to as low as you can go but without turning them off completely for a useable mouse
(eg tried this with homefront used the touchscreen for looking around and aiming and the d-pad for moving and strafe and it was playable)
Tip for certain games - if the hardware buttons do not work on the ingame menus use the touchscreen like your playing an android game just try pressing on the onscreen options it will act like your clicking mouse button on the option given.
could do this with more games too.
5.list of games i have mapped- using this profile
mx vs atv reflex - buttons can be mapped
homefront - use the touchscreen to look and aim (turn mouse sensitivity down as far as can go before you shut it off completely) you will also need to map the right click on a mouse to something like sprint should come up lmb as choice if done, or when you touch screen it will pause. map aim down site's to L1 and fire R1 and you have it playable other buttons can be mapped also.
saint row 2 -buttons can be mapped and you can use the touchscreen to move the cam (turn mouse sensitivity down as far as can go before you shut it off completely) this also mite work for the 3rd to.
alarm for cobra 11 nitro - buttons can be mapped
Dirt 3 - buttons can be mapped
Flatout 2 - buttons can be mapped
virtua tennis 2009 - buttons can be mapped
Gear Grinder - buttons can be mapped
and finding more work as well.
not sure if this will help in anyone but its good for an all rounder profile and a easyer way then finding out all the codes for diff games
or buying other apps to do different jobs.
add the file attached to
/sdcard/Android/data/com.hatcyl.android.OnLiveHelper/files
it will then become a profile selectable in the onlive helper app.
Thanks do we do the mapping while in the onlive app?

yes go into the games own controller config and if the game will let you change the controls to which button on the pad you want when you have done that it will save and the next time you go into the game it will be ready for you to play again and again.

So I'm not sure how to do this. I started batman arkum asylum and went to controls but there was nothing to edit. Said keyboard onlive under controls but I couldn't edit them. Controls worked through the menus and I could move batman using the direction keys but couldn't map the other controls or edit and the.screen sensitivity was horrible to use to look around.
Your help would be.appreciated
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Have tried to map batman but the game does not have the settings you can use onlive helper and make your own profile the screen works as the camera views but would be able to map the rest to the plays pad.

Oh ok yeah I have to learn how to map with onlive helper yacht tried it yet. Screen does work but it's waaaaay to sensitive so it really spent work well.

Anybody able to successfully get all the key mapping correctly to play with Shadowgun? The game is fun, but would be GREAT if I could use my PS3 controller.
I got up, down, left, right, fire and reload to get mapped...but I need camera tilt to work properly when I am walking, having to use the screen to move around the camera kinda defeats the purpose of it.
I am posting this in 2 places, I wasn't really sure which would be best...but MODS feel free to remove/merge the one that doesn't need to be used. I just want to know if anyone was able to get this working properly
What a game this is, im playing on the tablet, havnt got a dock, doesnt answer ur question sorry, but awesome game
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App
I'm running the latest Revolver ROM and both analogs worked out of the box.
Remapped as follows:
R1 = Trigger/Action
Triangle = Reload
Up = Weapon 1
Left = Weapon 2
Right = Weapon 3
Down = Weapon 4
I have to say that I'm pretty blown away by the game. Screen controls are pretty good, game play is fun and the graphics are just amazing.

I have it all working on mine - I have a guide at my blog on how to do it all. It's awesome with HDMI out.
Its working perfectly on my transformer/dock with a sixaxis official PS3 controller plugged in via USB.
You guys think there's a way to use the keyboard dock to control games like Shadowgun and maybe others? Would be really great!
Another question: Are only PS3 controllers supported or are Xbox 360 controllers working as well?
Nevermind that question, found the answer already.

default keys are:
Arrows: movement
I,J,K,L: look and aim
8: shoot (I don't rememeber well)
but using keyboard it's not so comfortable..maybe you could use a joypad..
7-Reload
D-Pad Center-Fire
D-Pad Up, Left, Down, Right-Analog 1
A-Shotgun
D-SMG
I-Analog 2 Up
J-Analog 2 Left

you just plug it in and it work? i cannot get it to work. my controller just blinks and turns on my ps3. i need help
Unplug your ps3 or switch it off on the back. Once that is done, plug in your controller and press the home button, after that you can map the buttons within the game.
Yesterday i have added a new tab dedicated to the multitouch gamepad in Droidmote Server / Client. (remote control tablet with your phone)
i have tested Shadowgun and it work superlative. in a day i publish a video to show how it works.
Arrows: movement
I,J,K,L: look and aim
8: shoot
for aassign I,J,K,L,8 to your button open generic.kl and remap the buttons keys to this letters.

My cheap ass Speedlink controller automatically mapped itself - left stick = walking, right stick - looking around;
Square = shooting, Cross = Reload.

theres a thread saying the xbox controller works great so I'd really be surprised if the ps3 doesn't work.
PS3 for Shadowgun?
Check out these instructions found on androidcentral - added bonus I've found is left click analog stick will work for gates and most interactions:
Hey everybody!!! so are you wanting to play ur nice new tegra game on your tv using a controller but dont have any means to connect one with a wire? you are in luck because i figured out how to get the PS3 controller to work with this game and how to map the buttons out.(MUST BE ROOTED!!!)
first off you need to get the Sixaxix controller app. this allows you to connect your PS3 controller to your phone. Also visit the devs website on your pc to install the SixaxispairTool utility. Follow the easy step by step instructions on the website and you should be able to connect the controller to your phone.
Next after enabling the Sixaxis controller as the input method you need to go to the controller settings and check the box next to Bypass IME. This allows the input to simulate a hardware keyboard
Then go to Input Mappings and tap on 1st controller mappings.
controller mappings to be able to play the game. should be self explanatory
dpad center is for fire i set that to both R2 and R! plus the start key to be able to select menu options.
7 is for reload and i set that to L1 and L2
J is for analog 2 left
L is for analog 2 right
I is for analog 2 up
K is for analog 2 down
dpad left for analog 1 left
dpad right for analog 1 right
dpad up for analog 1 up
dpad down for analog 1 down
back for select which pause the game
now for the weapons. (only figured out for two)
A is for shotgun set that to square
D is for SMG set that to x
W is for Shotgun and i have that at Triangle
guessing S is for the 4th weapon but will verify if need to
Currently enjoying this on my XOOM... now to see how good HDMI output is....
Thanks, I'll try this when I get home and report back
Hopefully everything works as advertised.

This was a perfect guide for my transformer! I can confirm that S is the map button for the rocket launcher and W is for the grenade launcher. The only problem i had was that i hadnt updated to the latest version of sixaxis and my mappings were all off. As soon as i updated to the latest version and cleared data i was able to follow this guide and now im loving shadowgun even more!
Hey does anyone know how to change weapons and how to make a drive-by at GTA vice city with a ps3 controller???
Works great!
I am using sixaxis controller on a Nexus 7. I enabled the native gamepad checkbox in the settings and all the buttons work great. When driving I can use L2 or R2 for drive by. And I think R1 switches my weapon. It seems to work just like it would on a real play station.
Where is native gamepad check box??

What do you use for aiming? I find it very difficult to lock on or flick through selected targets. Only option seems to be to touch the screen which is a pain during a mission.
I use logitech f710 it doesnt work too

Ps3 controller and six axis controller app. Turn off native game pad in preferences to avoid problems. Take a screen shot in gta showing onscreen buttons. Load that screen shot in six axis app under Touch emulation. Map buttons to your liking. Working flawlessly here.

Something must be different with my version of GTA and Sixaxis because all of the buttons work for me without any issues. Its just like I am playing the game at home on my PS2 except for the fact it's wireless :silly: I have the Enable Gamepad checkbox checked and that's it. Make sure you are using the latest version of Sixaxis.

Seems like I jumped the gun then. I think since I didn't see an option in GTA to setup a controller that I just assumed it wasn't supported. It's actually pretty quick to take a screenshot and map out touch control emulation so I did it right away without trying GTAs native support. I'll try it later on and see how it works/compares.

Yeah, so much better. You don't need to see the touch controls, and it maps exactly to the ps2 controls.
The lack of a controller configuration is weird, but rockstar did the same with GTA3 and max payne

Replying a lil late but yea, native gamepad support in gta vc is great. No need to use the emulation like I did before.

Hello, sorry if this seems a bit daft, but can the controls only be changed if rooted?
Basically, I bought a cheap wired controller to use for Vice City, as plugging my Sixaxis controller in via USB drained the battery too much.
My Nexus isn't rooted.
Is there anyway I can amend the buttons, as the wired controller does not correspond to the original buttons? Some buttons don't even have a function.
Cheers.
Anyone?
But the buttons change in-game when you get in a car and out a car.. That means you have to make 2 profiles?
I really don't get it.. Gamepad is enabled here too but the keys are different to the PS controls. I really want to change them like PS2/PS3.
Someone knows how or got a profile I can download?

Hello people... I have native gamepad running. Works good. Please give me a list of Controller mapping from orginal ps2 game. And I make a List of Button remaping for native gamepad. I use sixaxis app for a long long time. Edit: dr Google helps me. Found a list of the keys. Make this after sleep ready for all. I am in germany and its late here.

hey thanks man, that would be nice if you could make a couple that fits the PS2/PS3. I'll check it here over a few days
hello to all people, here is the solution to have orginal ps2 buttons config on android gta vc. self tested and work. here is the tutorial.
1. open sixaxis app and disable touch profiles (set it to none)
2. now open the preferences and go to gamepad settings(2nd entry) and enable native gamepad support.
3. next step we go button remapping in gamepad options menu and edit all buttons as in this list.
Search for the key you want to edit (triangle...) and set it to what i say in the pop up what appears.
Triangle = Y
Circle = B
Square = X
Cross = A
L3 = R3
R3 = L3
Now go back, start GTA VC and enjoy. The buttons for run, shoot and jump works right to ps2 version. the L/R3 exchange is because the sirene and car missions(Police,Fire...) changed.
Backup/Restore
To use gamepad in other games and that make problems you must set back the buttons to orginal. use the same tut but the orginal key
mapping and all will work normal.
Orginal Android Key mapping:
Triangle = B
Circle = Y
Square = A
Cross = X
L3 = L3
R3 = R3
Please give a little bit push of my thanks button.
Tut can be link or else to post one.
p.s. Does anybody need a Button Overview for this game? like... on foot: Cross = Run
on car: Cross = Accelerate
Thank you but what about Fifa 14. This games doesn't support gamepad and setting up a map can't because you have 2 images in game.
Buttons change when opponents or you got the ball?
What about this?
I use the DS3 controller via latest Sixaxis controller app (gamepad mode) but in GTAVC, the virtual touch controls keep poping up every once in a while?! :-/
Anyone has similar problem??

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

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:
