[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.

ShadowGun + Xbox Controller

Anyone else has tried the new ShadowGun game with XBox controller? I just tried, and it works flawlessly. You can re-mapped the button from the GamePad settings in the game to configure your own buttons preferences. The game is fun, smooth graphics, with the xbox controller it feels like having a portable console. Keep more games like this coming!
Share with you guys my short video:

Ok, now that's really awesome. Just installed it and now I've got to get the controller.

My charactor keeps pulling to the left when i connect my xbox controller, o ky way to play is on the tab itself' strange

Yep yep. First thing I did, didn't even try to play using the touch screen lol.

you are using a wired controller is it also working with wireless xbox controller for pc?

More controller supported games
Hi, if you are looking for more games to play with your gamepad, try these:
1) Cordy
2) Reckless getaway
3) Reckless racing
All of the games above doesn't allow button re-mapping, but they are still playable. Enjoy!

Anyone tried with the wireless xbox controller?

I cant even get the whole game to work properly. There is no gun on my character, all shells that fly out from that invisible gun are purple boxes and all enemies are invisible. I thought this would be wider problem with tegra2 devices but clearly it is working for some.
I have send email about this to the developer. Hopefully I get a solution to this at some point.

apparently there was an update release on the market for the game stating that the character with no gun bug has been fixed. I haven't experienced that problem myself and havent updated. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. After uninstalling then re-installing the game, it was fixed.

I have it and have played the first 3 levels using a PlayStation3 SixAxis controller plugged in via USB, its working perfectly, its awesome.

Indeed working great:

Why wired?
The PS3 SixAxis controller will work wirelessly. I bought a white one specifically to use with my Transformer for games.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

It doesn't work perfectly though via bluetooth (I've used it both ways, infinitely better wired).

Yeah, with the sixaxis app the analog joysticks pull too much after you stop moving them.
On the other hand, USB works flawlessly.

The Xbox 360 controllers are not Bluetooth like the PS3 controllers, so they will not work wirelessly. There is a thread about getting the PS3 controller to work via bluetooth

You can use a wireless controller, but you need the Wireless Gaming Receiver in order to do it. The WGR is for hooking up a wireless xbox controller to a PC, but it works on the Transformer as well.

The thing about that is its a bug in the 1.02 shadowgun update. On 1.0 sixaxis worked flawlessly, but when i beat the game i wanted to play individual levels so i had to backup data, update(uninstall/reinstall) and restore data. On 1.02 i noticed the joysticks pulling. Hopefully they fix it in an update.

Thanks, exactly what I needed to know before I purchase the game

Game Controller for the skyrocket

Searched but didn't find any info about the skyrocket.

I haven't tried one yet, but I think a Phonejoy may be a good option from what I have read.

Samsung replaced the regular Android Bluetooth stack with their own that doesn't support game controllers.
In order to get a Wii or PS3 Bluetooth controller working, going to need to use an AOSP-based build like Cyanogenmod.

There's a program from the Market that will enable support for Playstation 3 controllers. They can emulate mouse mode with their thumbsticks, etcetera, but the hard part is trying to find a game that's controller enabled.

The app sixaxis controller off of the market will work for our skyrocket. It will allow you to sync up to 4 ps3 bt controllers. Sixaxis controller also requires root access to work.

I am using mostly emu games and used Sixaxis seems to work well but you have to connect it manually from the PC if you connect your controller back to the PS3...
So I tried the wii but it wont connect...

[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

MOGA Controller Universal Game Support

Merry Christmas every one! I'm sure many of us unwrapped a brand new Moga Controller this morning, and I was one of those people. I was a little disappointed in the amount of games it supported, however. The Moga app only lists around 30.
So, I downloaded the Universal Moga Driver from the Play Store, but still couldn't get it to work with nearly as many games as the SixAxis app. I kind of expected the two to be similar. Be able to set up custom profiles, just as you can on the SixAxis app, and be able to play and game. Does anyone know of a way to do this? As it is, the controller is kind of useless. I can use 1 of the 15 games that I have on my phone.
Is there a way to change the Master Bluetooth Address of the controller so the SixAxis device will recognize it? Or is anyone planning on making an app similar to the SixAxis app for the Moga that lets you create custom touch profiles based on screenshots of the game? Because that would be amazing.
Thanks everyone! And Merry Christmas!

Did you read what I wrote though? I'm wondering if there is anything for the Moga similar to he SixAxis app, or if there is anything I can do to get it to work with the SixAxis app. I have already tried the Universal Driver and I couldn't get it to work with most of my games.

Bump?
