Playstation 3 control for android

Is there a ps3 control for android, similar to the wiimote one.
Sent from my rooted x10a using XDA app

I would also like to know if its possible

The developer of the Wiimote application, pikipirs, said that he will try to work on it. However there seems to be a few difficulties though I trust he will come through. It's all mentioned in his Wiimote thread which I can't seem to link to since I'm a new user.

Mm what i mean is use my android as a remote for the ps3 sorry for the confusion...

Can anyone try to develop it? Im sure ALOT of people would pay atleast 5 bucks for this in the market including me...

wait what? why would you want to use a cellphone as a gamepad? it's usually the other way around

I would like to use phone as touchpad and keyboard for PS3

I would really like the app so that i can use my phone as a keyboard to use while on the web or even play online. I rather pay 10 bucks on the market than buy some expensive bluetooth keyboard,
Sorry for stealing the thread...

Add my "me too!" to the list=]

Don't know if this is what you guys are looking for exactly (I don't have a ps3) but try and app called "Pocket Blu" at least it gives you full control while watching Blu-ray discs.
Here's a video of some guy on youtube demonstrating it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6sCBu4elag

I'd much rather get my PS3 controller working for my PSX Emulator on my phone lol...

Add my vote too... It'd be great if someone could make an app to use the phone as a bluetooth keyboard/remote for the PS3... there is an app out there but it only works with certain blurays/bluray players apparently, not the PS3.... this would be a huge help in naming files/browsing the web/writing messages. As a previous poster said, I'd much rather pay 5-10 bucks on the market than spend 50-100+ on some huge bulky keyboard....

PocketBlu only works with a select few Pocket Blu-enabled Blu-ray discs, all of which are titles released by Universal (none of the the other studios are supporting this feature, yet). I believe all new and future Universal titles will include the Pocket Blu feature. It is a cool, but gimmicky, feature that works flawlessly and is as quick as the native remote control(s) for my players.
I actually bought the PS3 keypad attachment. It's overpriced and awkward to use. LOL

Add me to the list.
Someone could make a lot of money i feel. I would happily pay 5-10 bucks to use my Dualshock 3 on my EVO. I know someone can do it!!!

Open remote play
there is a project called open remote play which reverse engineered the remote play feature for sony vaio. Somebody could use that code if they wanted to try to make an app. (no linking but it's hosted on google code, you can search it)
Also Mobile SRC for windows mobile was an interesting idea: turns the phone into a bluetooth keyboard, which can be used to control the ps3
www(DOT)mobilesrc(dot)com(Slash)mobileremote(dot)aspx

Ive been dreaming of an app that turns the phone into a bluetooth keyboard.
I already have a doongle ready hehe
via Legend using xda-app

Yeah, any generic bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard will work with PS3. So if an app could let the phone work as a bluetooth keyboard, that would work, it wouldn't need to be PS3 specific.
Also, being able to use a PS3 controller as the input device on my phone while using emulators would be TOO amazing! This is what I'm really hoping for

Wiimote compatible?

Can anyone test to see if this works on the G2x? I would like to know as I would like to be able to use other controllers besides touch screen.
I would test myself but I don't currently have this phone but thinking on getting it.

Downloading it now.
Emulators + HDMI mirroring is one of the big reasons I got this phone.

Well, we know the O2x doesn't support it. I wouldnt be surprised if the bluetooth stack is similarly boned on the G2x, despite stock android.
Even if the G2x doesnt support it out of the box, there may be hope that cyanogen will support it in the future.

Nope just tested. Says it can't find Bluetooth and to make sure it is enabled... which it is.
First drivers needed to access the SD card, then no WiiMote.... damn...

Thank you for taking the time to test it though sad to hear it doesn't support it.

yeah those two issues are quite disappointing. maybe cyanogen can fix them :S
i'm thinking i will just stick with my n1 for now

I'd like to add the JS1 Zeemote also is not working. I had it working on N1. The Bluetooth connects but when I exit bluetooth settings it disconnects. I'm also using Bluezime so android can detect Bluetooth controller

Doesn't work for me either. This is highly upsetting to say the least. One of the biggest things I wanted to do with this phone was play Super Mario World hacks through HDMI with a wiimote. Oh well, phone is still a keeper easy. Hope it gets fixed.

Hey did anyone ever get a PS3 controller working with the N1?

zeemote works fine for me.
but i also can't connect to a wiimote.

where can u buy the Zeemote for g2x ?
the only one i can find is for the Nokia

Awesome the 10 dollar one
Next question
does anyone know if the Wii remote problem is a hardware or software issue ?
because if it is software (Drivers) now that LG released all the source codes for this device, to should be easy for a developer to fix.
assuming we get any other developers then that CM7 dude to buy this phone
BUT CM7 and zeemote might be enough

it's because several phones(mostly touchwiz/sense phones, and LG phones) use non-standard bluetooth drivers.
replacing those with standard ones would fix it, but it's not as easy as switching a few files.

I can't find a $10 Zeemote on Amazon. How did you find it? I can only find a $10 article about the Zeemote from Tele-Service News. I sure hope you didn't accidentally buy that.

amazon uk has one for that price, but i don't know if they ship to the US(for a reasonable price)

How would you use this for a emulator their is only like 3 buttons on it

Play games on ur x10 using Dualshock 3 (playstaion 3 controller)

Guys the app by which you can play games using PLAYSTATION 3 controller is out.
Compadable with x10
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html
The site is the official app site and they say:
Due to the non-standard protocol that the controllers use to communicate with the host, this application requires root access. Additionally, it is incompatible with most HTC devices and some newer Samsung devices. This is due to the required bluetooth protocol not being implemented on these devices. We are actively looking into a work around, but currently the only solution is to install a custom firmware, such as Cyanogenmod, that supports the required protocols.
At the time only emuator games can be played.

U must find a bt certificate for x10 , then it will work. I dont know that this cert is

this is awesome
now i need a ps3 controller

This was a long time coming, great news.
The Wiimote has been compatable for over a year, and I've used it prior to DualTouch for some SNES gaming, but the DualShock gamepad has a much nicer feel.

Cool!
Awn man, it should be a xbox controller, I have 2 of those!

you know what would be awesome? if the x10 had TV output, combined with this sixaxis app it would transform it into a little console.
I've tryed the compatibility app and it worked, i'll save this for a future reference, my next purchase will probably be a phone with HDMI out.

This is fantastic!!!! Playing Street Fighter II (SNES ROM) on my X10 with my PS3 Controller - Who'd have thought it?!?!?!

wooo.. uber cool.. now the WB rom will rock

Someone PLEASE develop a way to make a controller work - Ill PAY YOU!

Probably one of the most frustrating things I'm dealing with is I just want to use a f-ing controller on this phone, like the playstation sixaxis!
When I bought the phone, I asked (mistake i know) the sales rep and the guy told me it was possible on the Charge, but not the Thunderbolt or Bionic, so it was a big selling point for me. Turns out, he was full of BS!
I've searched around and doesnt look to be possible. I'd LOVE to have a controller setup for this to play some of my favorite old school games. If you can get it to work, message me and I'll pay you to make it work!

Tell these guys you'll give them money, maybe they'll work for you:
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html
Unfortunately because our phones have wacky bluetooth stacks, this may never work.

You can pair a PS3 controller with the Charge, I did it. Didn't spend a great deal of time looking for a game that it would work well with, but it did connect and communicate with my Charge. Search for sixaxis controller in the market.

Just tried the compatibility checker again and it seems to work but I don't have a usb cord to test with. App never used to work at all...
EDIT: Oh hell yes it works. Playing me some FFVII with it.
Now I just need to get a setup for micro hdmi -> dvi or vga and I'll have a pretty nice gaming/movie setup.
I honestly play most of my games on my phone now because my ps3 is broke and my laptop sucks. But it gives me a chance to play some older games how they were meant to be played with great functionality and performance....and this isn't even a dedicated gaming device

so i bought one of those GameStop Transformers preloaded with games..

How i transfer these games off so that i can add them to my Samsung Galaxy Tab? paid $299 for the Asus Transformer.

Root and then you can extract the apks.

yup it's rooted. how do i extract the apk's exactly? where are they located?

Get a root file explorer or even astro file explorer. Not exactly sure which folders you gotta look in. Time to snoop around your files to find them

If you use Astro, just use the Tools>Applications backup>choose the apps to backup and when done you can find it in the backup>app folder.
If using Root Explorer look in data/app for applications that is download from market or sideloaded

Astro makes ir real simple, no hunting for files... Easy peazy lemon squeezy

Curious about the tablets from GameStop. I ordered a transformer prime. Are they new? Or have they been opened in order to "pre load" the free games?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

I'm really curious about their wireless gaming controllers. They said they can work with the tablets they sell. I asked if I bought a transformer new elsewhere if the controller would work with it. They told me it would work. The wireless controller is $99 if you buy it seperate. I think $40 if you buy it with the tablet. That is contract evils at it's best. I'm really jealous of the gamestop ones because they have dead space (can't find on android app store), sonic CD, and some others. But it's really the game controller support i am after. I love riptide GP but I think it would be SOOOO much better with the wireless controller. If I get a tranformer prime I might get it at gamestop.
I think gamestop is going in the right direction. I bet once they get their cloud gaming going there android tablets will have them.

FYI, This app is bar far the easiest way I have come across to grab an apk from one device for installation on another:
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS55c2NoaS5NeUFwcFNoYXJlciJd
You just open the app, search for the apk you want by name or scroll through the list of apps, and then you can email it or dropbox it to yourself. Every once in a while there is an app that can't be located in /data/app. I am always able to extract the apk for those apps with Myappsharer.

It is just a Bluetooth controller. Thats how all wireless controllers work. And IMO, your best off to go with a Playstation DualShock3 controller and getting it to work with your tablet.
Every other controller I've owned pails compared to the responsiveness and quality of a good console controller. Perhaps their $99 controller is high quality too, but you can pick up a PS3 DS3 controller for $29 new. I picked up a white DS3 for $29 from Gamestop not too long ago. Beware they sell new and used controllers for the same price (I bought it new).
It really works fantastic. Honeycomb 3.2 has native support for gamepads, so most of the buttons work out of the box. I mostly use it for emulators with key mappings.
Perhaps someone with a Gamestop TF can provide a NVBackup of their stock rom.

I personally use the WiiRemote; cheap, fast and pain free. Most emulation I play works JUST FINE with it (the .emu series).
I do have a question for player911 though ...
I bought the Six Axis app and went through the rather grueling process of changing the blue tooth sync ID, etc.
Are you using the PS3 controller wired, via the Extension Kit? Or are you doing the whole routine like I am with the wireless? Or wired via the dock's USB?

Thank you I actually did realize this after posting. I thought, "Why not?" and I plugged my PS3 controller into the dock. It wasn't working even on as I was in Cordy. I figured, "Oh well I guess I need custom kernels or some kind of root app". I randomly decided to push and hold the home button a few times and I was making cordy jump and move. The first thing that came to my mind was "HOLY CRAP!". Well the edited word that came to my mind anyways...
I went to Riptide GP and found it wasn't working. I went to the dual control settings and I was able to control it with my PS3 controller. IT WAS AMAZING. Riptide GP is amazing by itself but with the controller holy crapy. I raised the graphics to maximum level and it looked like a Xbox (not 360) game. The graphics and effects are incredible and the precise control is unrivaled. I tried some other games though and they did not really work. I think that the Tegra 2 or Tablet Games work best. Any games that were just stretched on screen had almost no control support at all. I am not sure what other games support controllers but I want to find out. If they ever get Dead Space on Android (without buying it from gamestop) I hope that supports it as well.
...Well the controller is one thing. But I also really want Sonic CD. I love Sonic and I am still coming off of the high from Sonic Generations. Sonic CD is a game I never beat either but enjoyed playing it on a friends computer when I was younger. I think there are a few other games that the gamestop tablet comes with that are not on the android market. It actually seems like google removed ALOT of games and apps on the android market for the tablets and some it seems off the market in general. There is only two gameloft games on there for the tablet as well...
I wasn't really ever for gaming on android but now that I see how amazing it can work I am all for it. I'm all for a UMVC3 port on Android Tegra 3! I think there is a PS3 wireless app too that works on rooted androids. I am going to look into that soon. I was excited about the Wii-mote way but I am not crazy about the classic controller nunchuck wired shell. Love the design but not the wired aspect to the wii-mote. Yeah I agree I would love for someone to upload the apps that came on the gamestop tablet. I've already started looking but haven't found any online yet.

I recommend to anyone who has the tablet to back up the games using asus back up or whatever back up you use and putting it on your computer. I've already read a few stories of how some flashes caused the apps to disappear and they haven't found a way to recover them. I am not sure if google will back them up. The Asus Backup might. If all else fails try that app that someone posted the link to and put it on your computer for safe keeping. Using CMW and backing up the device might help as well.

This strikes me as interesting... If the games were preloaded, then presumably Asus would also need to supply customized versions of FOTA updates for GameStop customers. I'd be surprised if that were the case for a sunsetted, heavily-discounted product, though.

using the honeycomb launcher click on the downloaded apps taband see if the games are there , if they are that means it is in data partition

Just use mybackup or mybackup root. Backup all your apps, or just the ones you want to copy, then use the normal file explorer to go to rerware/backups/allappbackups/(todaysdate)/apps then copy the apks.
This is how I transferred deadspace to my non-gamestop transformer

i bought 2 asus pads from gamestop here in san diego and neither of them had any of the games preloaded
