Ok well, I'm very happy with N64oid. I bought it from the SlideMe app store.
but does anyone know if there's away to calibrate the accelerometer? the control pad function is only at the neutral position for me when my phone is flat, i.e., parallel to the ground.
not all games are conducive to using the accelerometer for control, but some are, like starfox. but its not very usable to me if it can't be calibrated....
Don't use those controls Xo Its so whacked up. I use Sixaxis, or my Wiimote.

Using a nonsense rom? Bluetooth controllers won't work with sense-based roms
I'm using the touchscreen controls with Ocarina of Time with no problems whatsoever.

screen orientation works perfectly, but just until I start playing racing games. I turn device left but car goes right, right - car goes left. Tried other games - problems.
I checked sensors using some sensor test soft and noticed that when I actually pitch the device up program shows that I roll it left. pitch down - rolls right. when I roll it left it shows that I pitch it up....
I have another same transformer which in comparison works well in all cases, so I put devices near each other and checked how x, y, z behaves. and both give same figures! So I'm confused...
my question is:
As I think sensors are OK, are there any software solutions or other ways to deal with that problem?

I've noticed on a few games that even though the screen is landscape, it treats the orientation like you are still in portrait mode! I think it might have to do with the fact that some apps were written for phones that don't have landscape mode... ould be wrong though - just a guess!
Other games work fine.. Do you have any apps that use the orientation correctly?

I used app "Sensor test and plot" to check orientation. It says something is wrong and I think it does not depend on app version...

I'm not following - so you believe that it is a hardware issue in your case?
I do not know now. I think it is software... I did hard reset as suggested by Asus "experts". Nothing has changed.

Do ANY apps utilize the orientation sensor ok?
Just tried Reno air races... works ok... any car/boat racing games not ok

Yeah, I think you are seeing the issue I was talking about (app assumes portrait for orientation, even though you are playing in landscape).
Let me find a free racing game and try it - can you give some examples of games that dont work properly for me to try?
EDIT: I just tried Riptide GP and Reckless Getaway and the orientation sensor works perfectly.... Can you try one of those games (both very good games)?
Try Wave Blazer lite. Maybe you are right. I'be just tried Raging Thunder and it worked ok for me
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Yeah, Wave Blazer doesn't work for me either - it's definately a phone app (can tell by the resolution).
A real good racing app for tablets is Riptide GP - it works fine..... $6.99 though! Ouch...
Reckless Getaway is really cool too and the orientation sensor works fine with it too...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Now I understand. It is really so simple.Thanks a lot. Now I can explaine my son why some games just behaves like crazy...
Do you know any method of adjusting z axis (my son is complaining about floating icecubes wallpaper. It is not fully horizontal while pad stands on the table)

So basically you can't play phone apps that require G-Sensor on tablets? (Temple run etc.) I have somewhat the same problem. Doesn't that mean that there is some sort of setting in the phone that tells the phone to rotate g-sensor orientation when playing landscape, and only when the application is running in the foreground? Temple Run (portrait) running in the foreground on phones work even if Need for Speed (landscape) is running in the background. If there is a system setting controlling this, then couldn't we bring that setting over to tablets? I don't see how that couldn't be done.
Edit: I think some tablets don't have this problem.
Can I bluetooth a 360 or PS3 controller to play N64 roms?
The games run PERFECT on it, but the touch controls suck!
try an icontrolpad. Works a treat. D pad, shoulder buttons and 2 analogue nubs. Works with all the emu's.
Maybe this iControlPad is good, but still too expensive! 70$!??!?! Maybe have someone else bought a bluetooth gamepad thats working too?
The PS3 controller will work via USB but not Bluetooth. Believe it or not the 360 controller isn't Bluetooth, Microsoft use their own proprietary wireless tech, but if you buy one of the wireless dongles for connection one to a PC it should work fine but thats second hand knowledge. I am yet to try it myself.
Personally I just use my PS3 controller

There's talk that asus will release USB adapter that will plug into the port that the dock uses. I have not seen these for sale as of yet.
Another option, is you can use a wiimote with the classic controller attached to it. Works with bluetooth. Just search the market for wiimote.
Does anyone else think there's enough threads about controllers that there should just be a sticky on high?

Thats what i used to use but you can get a classic pro controller for about $20 plugs in like a nunchuck and it works even better it has d-pad shoulder buttons two analog sticks and the usual controls.
All you have to do to get it to work is download the wii controler app from market and enable custom ime in n64oid then map you contros and your good to go ive used it on star fox super mario pod racers fighters destiny bangoo kazooi and one of the race games

I find that N64 games, especially the games that are N64 exclusives, don't really work as well with a classic controller. The N64 had such a weird button setup. I use my classic controller for PSX, SNES, and GBA games
Hi--I've been using markpython's rom (and xdarkmario before)...most of the games work, but I haven't been able to get onlive 1.3 working with the controls in ICS roms. Has anyone found a workaround to get it working? Would USB/BT joystick or gamekeyboard work (gk 2.50 locked up on me when I started using the root options/onlive options)
Thanks.
No, unfortunately Onlive controls will only work on Gingerbread.
The strange thing about the onlive controls in ics is only the touchpads work.

Lol can't the physical controls be mapped then? I remember that could be done from the settings of onlive
This is the main reason why I have not updated to ics. I bought a few games on OnLive and without being able to play them it would feel like a waste of money.
Im guessing the only way to fix this controls issue is if you'd ask OnLive to support ics.

I have tried looking through the settings and the closest thing I could find was what keyboard to use.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using Tapatalk 2
I think the infinity's natural affinity p) with a compatible hardware dock gives it immense potential, not just for work but for gaming as well. Has anyone found any way to use the keyboard for games, much like on a laptop or pc? I tried it out on gta3 since it was supposed to be a direct pc port but only the arrow keys worked, not wasd keys. Anyone has any idea how to utilize the keyboard hardware for gaming? I believe gingerbread was the first to bring native support for hardware controllers and the such, so I think it's definitely possible.

Yeah, this would be awesome. Being able to use a mouse and keyboard while playing shooters (online) will give a ridiculous advantage, so perhaps it is for the best that it does not seem to be possible. For single player it should be available though, I guess.
I do not know if it is possible but I would also like to know if I can use my mouse and keyboard while playing, would be sick!

Ok I imagine it would be fun to go to a friends house and hook up your 5$ Micro HDMI cable from your phone to their TV and start playing some strange video... but besides that, what would be the most impressive? I'm thinking running some video console emulator would be the best trick, if friends with androids could get a bluetooth controller app off market and could play VS.? Is this even possible?:fingers-crossed:
Yes, it is possible. You can use a wii remote, PS3 controller, or USB keyboard as a controller for the games.

theres an app called sixaxis controller that should allow you to pair a PS3 controller thru bluetooth
i also found this which looks kinda kool, i didnt read it to see if it has specific requirments, just looked cool as hell and caught my eye lol
http://www.gizmag.com/gameklip-android-ps3-games/23592/
Also there are some emulators that have built in controller support so all you have to do is pair it with the phone and map the buttons. But for the sixaxis controller app you need to be rooted for the controller to work. Rooting will also give you the option to overclock the processor so some of the more graphics heavy games will run smoother.

That is pretty sick! At first I though it was for the Keyboard function of a smartphone but actually the screen for the game! Though I'd like to see that mount different...In the gaming sense for VS games Tribes Ascend?!!Wonder if they'' have a android app prolly not .... It is better and does not require the TV...In the mean time I came up with using the TV connected to the triumph for a mobile security detail using tinycam monitor installed on the Triumph connected via HDMI to TV and SeCuret spycam Livestream (vs ip cam it has the benefit of detect motion @upload to dropbox as well... Feeding video is all IP camera does
