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.

[Q] n64oid + sixaxis controller

Hi,
I installed n64oid on my TF, and connected a PS3 sixaxis controller via BT, everything seems good, I can map the controls in the emulator app, but when I launch a game i got the message "n64oid is running in background" in the notiication bar, and i can't control the game with the gamepad.
If i map the controller buttons to letters like a, b, c etc... and i play with :the dock keyboard it works. I think it is somehow really in the background, and the browsing/loading roms part of the emulator keeps the focus, because if i quit the game and go back to this screen I can see the letters on the screen corresponding to the buttons i pressed while testing...
I tried nesoid too, same problem...
Have any of you already experiences this problem ?
Thanks !
Edit: just tried with a wired xbox 360 controller, it works, so it's just with this sixaxis controller app...

just connect the ps3 controller via usb and it should work fine

2 things I always forget to check; 1- did you change the input method from your keyboard to sixaxis controller using the big button in the sixaxis app? 2- did you go into Other settings in n64oid app and enable input method?

Oh I did not see that ! Thanks a lot it works great now

I still am having no luck with my ps3 controller and n64oid. I am working with a Toshiba Thrive, I have them paired, but n64oid seems completely unaware of a bluetooth controller. I have the thrive set to Sixaxis input and n64oid set to "Use Input Method" on. Is there anything I am missing?

Hey guys quick question what's better for games like super Mario xbox controller or ps3?
I love playing Mario on PC emu and getting tf next week hoping to make the experience even better hate keyboard controls

Truthfully I would say there is little difference. It comes down to whether you prefer a wired or wireless controller. Either way you go with the Xbox 360 controller youre going to have a wire coming out of your docks usb port (have to use PC Wireless 360 adapter)
I have played mario with both and loved it both ways. The only other thing I will mention is that with the Xbox 360 controller you cant program the right joystick, but with the Sixaxis Controller app and a Sixaxis you can program both sticks to work independently. That comes in very handy if you decide to play and first person shooters in n64oid.

sixaxis over 360 control
I really like the dpad on the sixaxis more for classic games due to clearly defined up/down/right/left rather than the large disk with nubs... just my preference though I might just be too picky.

So with the extra stick on the six axis control does it make say golden eye way easier to play ?
I have a xbox 360 but don't have a ps3 so is wether its worth the extra cost really

help.
So I got a Blue PS3 Controller today and im trying to set it up to have the Cbuttons on the RIGHT analog stick, The Left as the main analog and the d-pad as the d-pad.
Im using n64oid 1.1.4 because that is the highest one that works with CM7 Nightly build 253.
And using the six axis app(forgot what it is fully called)

I figuered out that I had to set the Hardware keys on the main Nook settings first(mapping each ps3 button to a letter or number) then going into the n64oid settings and go to hardware keys and setting them there.

Use Controller with Android Games?

Is it possible to either an Xbox360 or PS3 controller with Android Games such as Sprinkle, Angry Birds, Dungeon Defenders, T-Racer, etc...?
I'm also getting mixed info on whether or not its possible to use PS3 and Xbox360 controllers Wirelessly?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

not sure about those games but i use a wii remote for all my emulator games.

The game/application must explicitly support it. The only ones I know of that do right now are the emulators, Riptide, and the new Shadowgun(awesome btw).
I think you can use the XBOX 360 controller wirelessly with the USB dongle, which kinda defeats the purpose. No clue about PS3

Thanks, that's what I figured.

You can use the ps³ controller wirelessly with an app called sixaxis. Works amazing on shadowgun and emulators. Im sure itd also work with riptide but i dont have that game.

Thanks! I'll try it out.

The PS3 SixAxis app does the same thing as the WiiMote app. It binds the buttons to letters... which can be MAPPED in Emulators and games that support button bindings.
So Wireless gameplay on native android apps is probably a no go (except ShadowRun since it supports button bindings).
WIRED gameplay is totally different. Android supports WIRED controllers out of the box since 3.1 or 3.2... This should work... to some extent. Your using a controller for a game which requires touch input... may not work well. YMMV!

which driver do you use? I used RWiimote back in the day with my G2 without issue, but it immediately force closes on the transformer.
I got sixaxis working great last night, but it slugs the game down pretty bad. But at the time I was just rooted with bone stock otherwise, I'm in the process of flashing a custom rom, hopefully runs better with CPU tweaks. The only issue I was having with emulators was that I had to specifically select "Use Input Method" in SNES Emu, and I think N64 the option is called Use IME.

theres other games that it works well with like reckless racing and riptide gp. ive read about others working as well. im sure a quick google will bring up a decent list of complatible games.

[APP] OnLive 1.3 Patched For All Controllers

The OnLive app comes with a very limited list of allowed controllers including their controller and the Xbox 360 wired one. I've smali hacked the current v1.3 APK to theoretically allow any Android (ICS and later) natively supported controller. I've successfully tested it with a PS3 Dual Shock 3 controller over Bluetooth with the Sixaxis Controller app.
You'll need to uninstall your old OnLive app before installing this one.

Wow! That's cool. Many thanks for your efforts. I have OnLive on the Kindle Fire HD and was concerned about buying a third party bluetooth controller like phonejoy but this should help out in the event that the OnLive app doesn't like it.

You just made my week! I got it working w/ the MOGA controller and the universal driver. Had to root my droid4 to get it to work in system mode; but, finally! Onlive on my Phone with reasonable controls! What a day! What's your bitcoin address?

Good to know it works with the Moga, I should have one of those this week. I don't use bitcoins, no worries.

Will this work with the Nyko Playpad Pro in HID mode?

Did you need to change any specific settings in the universal moga app? I cannot get it to work with the analouges.

It's been so long I can't remember if I even had the analogues working. I quit using it b/c the first MOGA controller only had 1 set of L/R triggers and they were mapped to the wrong set. I think every single game I tried was unplayable w/o that right trigger and I couldn't find a way to re-map it.
I hope it works on the NVidia shield.

This mod only disables the controller whitelist, not sure what could be done about that.

Gta vice city ps3 controller

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??
