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.

Do you change the input or something for standard android games?

[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

how do you do that?

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.

[Q] Xbox controller and galaxy note

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 ?

[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.

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

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.
