[Q] Cheap bluetooth gamepad

Is there a cheap console-like bluetooth gamepad that works with Android (not necessarily this phone in particular, as I don't know if it supports HID yet.
Also, is there one with joysticks that can be mapped to emulators?
EDIT: http://www.clove.co.uk/phonejoy-analog-android-game-controller I'm looking for something like this minus the expensive price tag.

I saw a post on redmond pie that is drivers for using a ps3 controller. I don't think it is yet compatible. Our Bluetooth protocol isn't supported. I suppose a dev would be able to make the changes to make it work though

personally i would use it for Gameboy, sega etc emulators.

I posted that before those drivers were released. I have a PS3 controller, and I guess I just have to wait for AOSP now.

if they improve their service in regions other than america, optimus 3d can be the best portable gaming device coz we have HD gaming, we have 3D, we have phone capability, we can text while we game, we can browse...and hell yeah instead of the gaming we have millions of apps in the market...!!
its just the hardware keys lacking...but if you have a controller then no problem with that

Hey guys... so i tested the Sixaxis_Controller_0.3.2.apk app. If i Start the app and search For the Bluetooth Protocoll it crushed down and restart the phone... i used the New Thiaz Rom 2.4... it would be great if you could fixed that ^^.
Sorry for my worst english skills.. next time i will wright it better ^^``…

:/
I wrote email some time ago to DPS.
Hello,
Can you tell me if you plan to add Optimus 3D to supported list of phones ??
Regards,
Robert
ANSWER WAS ((
I'm always working on adding support for new devices, but the Optimus
3D uses a different bluetooth chip than I'm used to, so without access
to the device, it will be difficult.

Well i played today DIRT 3 in 3D by converter and ost AWSOME! Its run smooth and its looked very nice in 3D. You can try it, trial is avaible for android

Thanks for the info

Onlive gamepad controls on ICS roms

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.

Tried Sony PS3 Sixaxis Controller On Sensation

I bought a dualshock3 sixaxis controller today to use both on my computer and phone and tested it on my sensation. I used sixaxis controller app from play store to pair it with my phone. Unfortunately, sense roms (i'm using ViperS Sense4) does not seem to support the controller.. Sixaxis Controller app was unsuccesful to configure my bluetooth.
Then i tried a MIUI rom to see how senseless roms work with controller, and managed to pair devices with no errors, sixaxis controller app easily managed to connect the controller.
I do love sense, but i don't like playing games on touch screens.. :crying: And probably most of HTC users agree with me.

Why not jus get an xBox. Games on ur phone is just for killing time on the bus or at class in school.
Beamed from my Senny..

Or a PS3, seeing as you already have a controller. But thanks for the info.

I can't because i often change cities. I enjoy playing N.O.V.A, Modern Warfare etc., or PC games on Onlive on my phone, but prefer reading book or sth else on bus, or at class in school.

I feel your pain bro I switch to Cm9 for it to work

That's due to BT stack Bug in Sense. IDK if this can be corrected modifying the Rom or if it's kernel related.

Gaming on mobile is getting bigger and bigger by the min and I'm getting bored of ps3 but my phone with a ps3 controller is exciting iv got access to loads of ok games for no more than a 5er and access to most classic game and emulators I have more games on my phone than ps3 and I own a lot of games

It's not so much important, it's not hard to buy a new battery I have been using sensation for 7-8 months (bought second hand), and have been heavily playing games from then on. My battery is still the same though. The only thing i'm afraid of is an unexpected explosion because phone gets very hot while playing, especially when the brightness is set to high.
Btw the problem on Sense roms does not seem to be kernel related. I tested on different kernels and roms.. It much seems to be related to rom itself.. Maybe some modifications needed.. But i'm not a dev..

Try ViperS with Sebastian 1.5.2 and DS3 will work if you connect it to a HUB!!!

I know Sebastian's kernel.. But I could not Manage to get it worked yet. I tried all day long.. Will try different cables and hub. Have you tried the cotroller

You really should try the joystick controller and try to add a hub

That's because your controller is now paired with your friends PS3, whereas before it was paired to your phone.
"If not already done, you must manually pair the controller with your phone. This can be done using 'SixaxisPairTool', or with 'MotionInJoy' or the linux utility 'sixpair'. Your phones bluetooth address should be shown at the bottom of the main application window and will look something like 1A:3C:13:00:21:C2; you need to enter this number into the 'SixaxisPairTool' as shown. This process only needs to be done the first time a controller is used on a different device, so if you only use the controller on one phone, you will only need to do it once."

Fun stuff to do with a $5 HDMI Micro Hdmi to HDMI dat

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.

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
