[Q] Xbox controller and galaxy note - General Questions and Answers

When ICS comes out for the galaxy will i be able to use the USB/BT joystick center app to use a xbox controller (with a wireless dongle) to play stuff like nova 2 etc. Just wondering if it'll work once the update is out

To quote their app description in the Play market;
- Support for Wireless Joysticks (PS3, X360, iCade, Wii Remote, iControlPad, Zeemote)

The app definitely supports the xbox controller.
As for your device, I see two main parameters that will determine whether it will work.
Android 3.2 (or newer) Device with USB Host Port

On the Samsung product specifications page for the note, they state that it does have a USB host port.
As well as:
(ICS 4.0.1) has no “USB Host API” support. You need ICS 4.0.2 to use USB Joysticks

Do you know what version of ICS it will have?

Well its been delayed slightly and the recent leak of the galaxy ics rom was 4.0.3 so i think that'll be the version

I think the OP is trying to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller with the USB receiver. Not sure if that will work, it might require special drivers. The wired controller would work though

well the software i was talking about has the drivers for the wireless receiver so i don't see why it wouldnt. I was also wondering about its compatibility with games etc.

hey guys i m not able to connect xbox wired controller to my galaxy note ! when i connect controller via OTG cable the controller light flashs 3 to 4 times and then the light stops flashing ! is there any way to connect wired controller ?

pocket pc as a bluray remote for ps3
anyone know if this is possable?

now that would be a killer app!
That's IR, right? Not the system's bluetooth?
http://www.novii.tv/
this works as remote for most my home electronics
it's ir only and ir range of mine and most pda's is very very poor
PS3 uses propriatary bluetooth, no iR. So the only option right now is to buy the PS3 remote, unless someone can open the sony propriatary bluetooth.
PS has no iR, all works based on bluetooth, hence the question
Using a pocket pc as a bluray remote for PS3 over bluetooth would indeed be awesome.

id rather go the other way and use my dualshock 3 as a controller for my PPC emus
Any luck on this? There's gotta be a way to get them to sync up some how and allow control options.
This really will be useful, I mean how many people can controll their PS3 with their cellphones =] ?
I dont know much of how to make such an app but id gladly contribute with graphics and/or testing if someone has a way to do this.
I really don't think this would be possible or there would be bluetooth drivers for getting the SIXAXIS controller to work on the PC... there are drivers but you have to plug it in with the USB cable so obviously no one has found a way to dig into the bluetooth stack on the ps3.
EDIT: I'm sure it's "possible" but improbable based on my above statement
I have the logitech diNova which uses bluetooth to contol your pc and ps3

that's a keyboard right? that brings up an interesting concept! Just have the ppc bind to ps3 as a keyboard and make a little touch app that passes keystrokes?
I think the whole challenge here is to get the bluetooth on the ppc to accept connections as peripheral device services.
Another vote for awesome. I have a Logitech BT keyboard that I use on the PS3 and PC. The keyboard has full control over the PS3 including movie playback.
any news? i would really appreciate a keyboard emulator on pocket pcs using bluetooth. a special playstation 3 hack would be the burner.
I know you can connect your bluetooth headset to the PS3... Should be able to use on chat with friends but I've never tried.... Sony also released a headset for online games that can connect to mobiles so I wonder if anyone has tried connecting their sony remote to pc, would probably need drivers though to use properly if at all...

If you look at their website, it looks like that needs custom hardware that connects to your AV equipment. It doesn't really explain how it controls it.

It's possible and has been done. The SIXAXIS has been in use for a while now. You can even have the rumble/vibrate function (dualshock controllers) work on a PC recently.

[Q] controller support?

i was wondering if anyone has tried using a wired 360 controller with the 7 inch tab?
i just subscribed to ONLIVE and was wondering if the 360 controller is supported?
or maybe the ps3 axis controller?
any info would be useful, thanks
I use the ps3 sixaxis controller with no issues. I use it for emulators. Available in the play store as "sixaxis controller".
Requires the use of your computer "first" to download the sixaxis program to "manually" input the Bluetooth ID into your ps3 sixaxis controller for pairing.
yup. sixaxis is compatible with tab 2 7.0.
see my personal video for games tested.
http://youtu.be/iqZvQMs1nVE
thanks for the input guys. has anyone tried the ps3 controller on the onlive app?

I'm going to take a shot in the dark with your question and say that it should work because sixaxis registers itself as a keyboard input. So you should be able to remap the onscreen inputs for onlive to the corresponding buttons on the ps3 sixaxis.
I'm not familiar with onlives controller so let's say if the onlive app has 4 action buttons that are registered as "a,b,c,d", then you would just remap sixaxis' "square, X, circle, triangle" to "a,b,c,d".
Hope that makes sense.
would a 3rd party ps3 controller still work?
I know nothing about these things but I can get a 3rd party controller a bit cheaper purely for my emulators
edit: I have a wired 360 controller here, how would I get that to work? thanks

For wired USB input devices, you need to buy the Samsung USB Connector EPL-1PL0BEGXAR. A wired 360 controller is plug and play.
Roughly about $10 on amazon

OTG and MHL Doubt.

So i have been buying games in the play store like crazy :laugh: I was wondering that how awesome it will be to connect my phone to my TV using the MHL cable (I know this part).
AND
Connect a wireless keyboard or Xbox 360 Joystick to the phone (I read that PS3 joystick works) and sit back and play.?
Is it possible to do the second part??:silly:

Well i use the mhl for movies and stuff, and also for a bit of work.
Also have nice rubber, rollable BT keyboard -- works pretty well.
Unfortunately Cynogen -- which gives u best google experience doesnt support mhl ATM. and some apps dont work -- PS touch for instance...
hmm so there is no way to get a wireless keyboard or the xbox joystick to work

Although I prefer a ps3 controller because you can map the buttons to the touch screen. So it works for every game available

I imagine because your unable to map the controller to the touch screen it will work with a few select games that have native gamepad support
Although if you download USB/bt joystick centre you can map them I think

The only thing I don't like about mhl is the big performance hit the phone takes so if a game pushes your phone already and you connect via mhl then it becomes unplayable for me. But less demanding games and emulators work great.

Oh yes thats it.........i tried it with games like shadow gun and riptide....also the homescreen can be controlled. ....also there is list of games on xda about the games that support usb gamepad

Alright! ordering my OTG and MHL tomorrow. Lets see which one works.
Hi there......
If course, it's possible to connect the note with the mhl to a tv and connect a wireless keyboard over Bluetooth.....
I use the keyboard from keysonic 340 BT, that's great, have a mousepad, works great with the "external Keyboard Helper" app, there you can configure 3 complete keymappings to the whole keyboard and switch them how you want..... Also gamepad keys are available....
For gaming:
Most of the new games are supporting Gamepads already........
For ps3 Controller use the sixaxxis App, works for sure.....
But there ist also an app that is called bt/Usb joystick center, wich should connect all kind of wired and wireless pads to the Usb host or Bluetooth.......
I got the app but have no controller at the moment to test it.....
There's also an add on, called joy2touch, this should make it possible, to configure a keyboard, wired or wireless, to play games like on pc with mouse for view and keyboard control, that's what the dev promise, but sure I never test it...... If it works, it would be fantastic......
But the quality of the Mhl picture is fantastic.... At movies, you can watch them in real 1920 x 1080, more than the display can show.... Great.....
And also in games, there is enough resolution to play it on a great hd tv set.... A real mobile game console.......

Just ordered the mhl and otg cable. If i can get the keyboard to work, then I won't be using my xbox

Just got my MHL and OTG cable :laugh:.
And just realized that after connecting the MHL i wont be able to connect the OTG cable as we have only 1 port:silly::silly:.
So was looking at alternatives to play the games not and later buy some good joysticks. Few games are working with the standard keyboard,mouse but i have to map them.
Also came across this wireless joystick . Any idea if this will work with sixaxis or similar app to map the buttons?

Game controller with Bluetooth for games Question

Can I use a bluetooth wimote or bluetooth playstation controller with the Note 10.1. I would like to play some old Nintendo games I used to play back in the day with the emulators. I read that you can use bluetooth controllers when playing games which I would prefer since the whole on screen controls don't appeal to me and I find it difficult. My question is do I need root in order to set this up or can I do it with stock on the 10.1. I heard of some sixaxis app or something but don't know if I need it. looking for some help since I'm sure others on this board know a lot more about this than I do. If anyone has any other advice for me...I'm all ears. Thanks

I'm not sure about the Wii mote, but the Sixaxis app is specific to playstation controllers I believe and requires root so i doubt it would work on the stock 10.1.

+1 for this query.
On the TF101, you just needed to connect a PS3 pad via the USB port and press some buttons to verify it worked. This in turn synced the controller. After this switching on the tablets blue tooth and pressing the PS logo on the PS3 controller would allow it to work via blue tooth. No root or sixaxis app needed. I'm guessing that won't work here?
What about purchasing the usb connector kit for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that supposedly works with the Note 10.1. Get the connection kit plug in the usb controller into the usb port on the connection kit and see if it allows it to synch with bluetooth like you listed above. I would love to know if this works.
If you want to play Nintendo games I suggest the NES.emu emulator from the play store. It will discover wii motes in app and you can use them to play. Works very well with no root.

PS3 Sixaxis controller needs root and the app. You can always use an xbox controller wired or wireless (with dongle via usb and app) more work though. Or connect a bluetoothe keyboard or wired keyboard.
As for emulators I recomend that you get droidemu lite and support the developer and get the full support as this emulator has all worthy emulators in it except n64 and ps1. He is very responsive to issues and fixed issues in a timely manner.
I just tested with mine and I was able to connect a Wii Remote using WiimoteController in less than 5 minutes. I tried it for a few minutes in GTA3, no problems so far.
Can confirm Sony PS3 wireless bluetooth controller works with SixAxis but requires root. Aside from the convenience of wireless controller it also extends the life of your port connector from wear and tear.

Have you tested PS3 controller or Wii Controller connected to our O3D via bluetooth? Are you sure it's a success?
How? Afaik, our O3D stock ROM bluetooth stack protocol is lack of HID implementation and only cyanogenmod solve it.

I tested with the sixaxis dual shock 3 from my friend, worked perfectly and the buttons on snesdroid and tiger arcade works fine, but i dont remember the version of sixaxis, i did this test with the port of Xbasall!
see if any of your friends have controlle to lend and you can test it, are the only ways! have to see the version so sixaxis because some do not install, there is another control application which do not remember the name that only works on honeycomb!
ah, I tested a OTG cable, but lg3D does not have a kernel with support for it, the processor support this function, but dont exist kernel with this !
good luck !!
Nice to hear that.
