Using controller for emulators - Asus Transformer TF700

Hi guys, I'm really interested in getting an emulator such as FPse, but I'm wondering if my xbox 360 will work with it. If not, will a bluetooth game controller do the job? Thanks for the help!

i never tried a xbox 360 controller but my ps3 controller works perfect with sixaxis controller

A wired Xbox 360 controller works pretty well with SuperGNES emulator, haven't tried it with FPSe yet.
I'm not sure if a wireless one would work though

If you're using the PS3 controller there's a new site that users can share and upload profiles for the best Android games. It's called Sixaxisofpower lol

I use usb joystick center. Works with most usb controllers, I use wii mote tho in wireless. It also has a touch to joystick addon that allows you to map button pushes to specific touch points on the screen. Its really phenomenal software. I play Max Payne and GTA3 with a wii classic controller pro plugged into a wii mote[gives you more buttons to map than Ps3 and XBOX controllers]. It does take some patience to learn the app, its customizable every way you can think of.

Oh awesome! This was the answer I was looking for Now I can live comfortably knowing that I can just use this app for my 360 controller. Didn't know this app existed. Thanks!

[Q] Which gamepads can you use with the transformer?

I know you can use the Wiimote, but can you also use the "classic controller?"
What about the Xbox 360 controller? Wired only?
Yes, I've been using the Classic Controller to play n64oid.
not sure about the XBox 360 controller, perhaps 3.1?
I only ask because I already have 360 controllers, but no wii controllers. I'm gonna pick up a classic controller through. Can't wait to play some old school games haha

btw, as far as I know the classic controller has to be tethered to a regular Wiimote.
you need a Wiimote to hook the classic controller up, but once you have both, your good.
With the 3.1 update, any USB gamepad will work. Now, the Xbox 360 WIRED controller should work as it was shown. as far as the wireless one goes, you'd have to buy the USB cable for it and i doubt the wireless adapter for windows will work.
But literally any USB gamepad will work with android 3.1, and there are many many usb gamepads out there.

3.1 is going have all sorts of USB connectivity for joysticks, mice, keyboards, etc, at Google IO I guess they used an Xbox 360 controller.

Any Wii wireless classic controller work?

I know the Datel Retro Wireless controller works, it's been verified, but i believe from what i see at Amazon and Best Buy, it's sold out or discontinued.
I'd like to get something similar for a trip i'm taking, so my question is will any wireless Wii classic controller work for the Xoom? Or should it?
e.g. Amazon.com: Thrustmaster T-Wireless Gamepad for Nintendo Wii: Video Games

I am still waiting on my Xoom to arrive but on my Evo I use the official classic controller with analog sticks with the wiimote app and it works great. The only downside is that it has to be plugged into the wii remote as it isn't a stand-alone controller. This is why I am looking forward using my Xbox controllers now.
Isaac in Best Buy the other day and saw a wireless gamecube controller in the wii accessories section. Not sure if it would work, but worth checking into. I use the Datel controller, if you Google it you can still find it.
wireless gamecube controller dont work because they arent bluetooth. they have an adaptor that plugs into a gamecube port. Try to find the datel retro wireless, it's the best options. You can get them on datel.com. I bought mine from another xda'er.

That's the one. If you get it I would recommend going over to the "Xoom Accessories" forum and looking up the thread on the Datel controller. They discuss a must have mod for the controller to really work well.
Edit: Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13018984&postcount=28 I did the mod myself, it was easy to do and made a noticable difference.

USB Controller

Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I've only found topics related to PS3 & XBOX controllers. But will any usb controller work with the Asus Transformer?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know about any usb controller, but I would think so. I have this controller and it works perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-940-000110-Gamepad-F310/dp/B003VAHYQY
I've tried a few of the Logitech ones, the Wired 360 and a 3rd party adapter that connects a n64 controller and they all work.
Where it gets sticky is app compatibility. I know that GTA3 does not 100% work with the Logitech controllers (can't go forward in car). The n64 one may or may not work with anything other than emulators.
Figure out what you are going to use it for then do the research. One may be better than others for your specific purpose.
If I were to pick ONE to work with, it would be the wired 360 controller.
Thanks for your replies. I know that some games aren't standard compatable with gamepads/controllers but there's this app called 'Sixaxis Controller' that fixes this problem.
360 is to pricy for me. Found one for 15 bucks with good reviews.

which one???
I have some cheap USB controller. It works perfectly only in Sonic CD. Didn't yet tried sixaxis but it should definitely help.
Hooray for DealExtreme. But you get what you pay for, but the reviews are good compared to others.

Sixaxis is great, you can map parts of the touchscreen to certain buttons.

Idea, xbox 360 controller emulator

So my idea is a touch based xbox 360 controller. Somewhat like gamekeyboard but with the xbox 360 layout and analog sticks. This would be great for apps like Onlive, since not all games have touch support.
I am not in anyway near capable of making this so i am hoping i am giving someone an idea
So what do you guys think?

The specific implementation that you describe would probably be quite difficult to do.
However, there is something similar, except you need a separate phone to use as the controller. See this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsJ_DGSPTXs&feature=player_embedded.
Or you could just get an Xperia Play
Would it be possible then to have something like gamekeyboard, wich maps the buttons on onlive correctly ( a.b.x.y,lb,rb and d-pad) to have an analogue stick?

[Q] Bluetooth Ps3 controller help (sixaxis or similar)

I have the Samsung galaxy note 10.1 (4.1.2 GT-N8013) I want to purchase a ps3 controller to play games on because some of the controls are not friendly for hours of play. I have seen that rooting the device would, potentially, make the sixaxis app work but, If there is a simpler way to do it with a PS3 controller i would like to know.
Could you run a wired connection without a root? highly inconvenient but would get the job done. I would rather bluetooth tho
If all fails and i need to root the device please post links to the best rooting guides you have.
P.S. i have searched for the solution and there isn't on that i found. I did see the compatible games thread but i figured it was dead.
i think it wont work without root and bluetooth connection. since samsung didn't build in the ability to use high performance device on the connector port the tablet just says that it cant use the device.
i already tried it out with the xbox360 controller and an external hdd. both give me the error i stated before.
we need a kernel that supports high performance devices but i dont know if there is already one. would be nice if someone could tell if there is such kernel at the moment!
edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwCatFYPM_E
seems like it works but your controller has to be fully charged
You should be able to use the PS3 controller as plug and play. I do so on my asus TF101 with games such as dead trigger and SG: deadzone, but it will only work with apps that are compatible with android conrollers. I dont this the same functionality is available for 360 controllers.
If you want to use the PS3 controller as a bluetooth controller, then you will need to root. you will also need a seperate app on your laptop so that you can load the correct address in to the controller.
It really is about time that Google added support for game controllers into the android os, considering the amount of games available and touch screen controls just don't cut it for alot of games imo.
Yes it's great that some games have built in support for pads like the 360 controller etc but the amount of games with that kind of controller support is very limited.

Ps3 controller plug and play does work but it's touchy, it connects fine sometime other times it resisters as a high power device why I don't know I have been trying to work it out for ages
So root and it will work if the games are compatible ? Whats the best root ?

Its working for me even with bluetooth. I think as long as you root, have the 30pin to usb extension from samsung, sixaxis will recognize the controller and set its bluetooth.
I have the NA verizon note 10.1 n8020 and used adamoutler Take Note jailbreak.
