I just bought Nyko's Gamepad Pro joystick for android and wanted to share
games that work natively with it (without the Crappy Nyko Underground App)
First here is the Color chart I will use:
OK Mean that everything work well
Fine Mean it is not so intuitive but can still play it without any problems
Bad Mean some buttons are working but you can't play because major buttons are missing
Nope Mean there is absolutely no buttons working with that game
***If you see MM it Mean Mouse Mode (there is a button for that behing the controller)***
***If you see HID/Gamepad it mean you have to place the button to that mode behing the controller***
***If you see THD in the game title it stand for "Tegra High Definition". That mean if you have a Tegra 3+ Processor you'll have better optimisations***
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPS Section:
-Android Interface (GUI): OK MM + HID/Gamepad
-Chrome Browser: OK MM
Game Section:
-Dead Trigger: Bad

controller app will be updated soon. I'll share with you ma last conversation with Nyko's rep (I've contacted them for a review on the playpad pro)èè
Thank you for contacting us. The most recent version, 4.2, has caused some issues with blue tooth and affects quite a few blue tooth devices, not just the Playpad. If you are running this version, please note that it is a problem on Android's end.
There are two ways of syncing the PlayPad Pro. For it to work with any Tegra game, you must sync the PlayPad directly to the device without using the Playground app. To sync the PlayPad Pro directly to the device without using the app, follow the steps below:
1. Make sure blue tooth is powered on so you can sync the Playpad directly to the tablet without using the app.
2. On the back of the Playpad, move the switch to HID mode (gamepad icon).
3. Hit the ‘home’ button in the middle of the controller once until the light on the top start blinking slowly. Hit it once more, and it should blink rapidly.
4. Pair it in the Bluetooth settings. The device should say “Playpad Pro.”
To configure the controls, simply go to the game menu and select controller settings and change them through there.
To sync the PlayPad Pro with the Nyko Playground app, follow the steps below:
1. Make sure Bluetooth is powered on.
2. Open up the Playground app.
3. Hit the ‘home’ button in the middle of the controller once until the light on the top start blinking slowly. Hit it once more, and it should blink rapidly.
4. Select 'sync' within the app.
Unfortunately, touch mapping is not yet available on the Beta version of the app. We are aware of the various complaints concerning the Playground app and the demand for Touch Mapping Support. We are working tirelessly to resolve these issues in a timely manner, and look to bring the Playground app out of beta with a new release in Q1 2013. We will soon release a firm date when consumers can expect the completed app.
This updated version of the Playground app will address various bugs and usability issues as well as adding Simple Touch Support. Simple Touch Support will allow users to execute point, click and drag controls with ease on the PlayPad or PlayPad Pro controller.
Due to changes in Android 4.1, we cannot provide Full Touch Mapping support at this time. We are currently investigating several options to bring Full Touch Mapping support to the Playground/PlayPad system, and will provide updates regarding the progress of Full Touch Mapping as we can. In addition, Nyko is approaching developers of the top Android titles to code support for the HID protocol of the PlayPad and PlayPad Pro to maximize the number of titles that inherently support the PlayPad line. It was, and still is our goal, to ensure maximum compatibility of games with the PlayPad line, and we will continue to work towards this end.
Best,
Trudy Panalal

What are the best scrolling shooters available that work with the XPlay controls? I've given R-Type a go and was wondering what others recommend
AirAttack HD Make sure it's the Xperia PLAY version!
There's also a game called Overkill. It's not specifically Xperia PLAY Optimized, but it works perfectly with the D-pad and X to shoot.
scrolling shooters? oh there are dozens but here are my favourites(long time STG fan.-)
for some shooting goodness fire up FPSE Emulator and get the following PS One Games:
-Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus(Salamander 1+Lifeforce AND Salamander 2 included,Salamander 2 is just great!)
-Gradius Deluxe Pack(Gradius 1+2,classic but i personally prefer Salamander)
-Gradius Gaiden(best of all Gradius imho,japan release only,nice graphics,much more accesible than classic Gradius)
-Parodius Deluxe Pack(Parodius 1+2,classic)
-Sexy Parodius(completely whack+hillarious..)
-R-Type Delta(best ps one shooter,period)
-R-Types(R-Type 1+2)
-G-Darius(some twisted shooting action with different paths,long bossbattles and psychedelic style graphics thrown in)
-Einhänder(the only Squaresoft Shooter,still great)
-Thunder Force Verfect System(great!)
on Genesis i highly recommend Contra:Hard Corps(they should have named it Contra:Hard Core,its really a challenge,its contra on speed) and Gunstar Heroes,intense shooting action,also the Thunder Force Series,on SNES Axelay is great also the SNES Contra
Neo Geo:Last Resort(great R-Type like Style,very challenging),Aero Fighters(Sonic Wings),Pulstar,Viewpoint(isometric unique style but frustrating),Shock Troopers(really really great one!),Metal Slug 1-5,Ninja Commando
Tiger Arcade(CPS2):Mars Matrix,Giga Wing,Progear no Arashi,Ecofighters,1944 The Loop Master
and finally if you want to see something very intense and weird or just for the fun:
fire up an NES emulator and get the game RECCA:Summer Carnival 92.its an japanese game especially made back in 1992 for a shooting game competition called summer carnival.thats just insane what they did with the very limited NES hardware,you won`t believe that this is a NES game:there are a mass amount of ultra fast bullets and enemies with no slowdowns,huge bosses and the music is great also the stages backgrounds are really tripping you out,its an adrenaline bomb-)
no actual games will give you the joy and challenge of those oldschool shooters,trust me..and finally,thats what the xperia play is for:emulation .-) when i see such half assed ports like R-Type where there is no option for turning off this touch overlay even with "xperia play optimized" stamp..really better to emulate
There is a port of Tyrian on the market. You have to configure the controls through a non obvious interface, but it is probably one of the best vertically scrolling shooters ever made.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
As above.
Psone:
R-type Delta
Einhander
Snes:
Super R-type
R-type 3
Tigermame:
R-type
R-type 2
R-type Leo
Let me add for SNES:
Axelay
Darious Twin

Now you are my favourite person on the whole internets.
i tried to make it work via dos emulators, but never worked.
just like Raptor: Call of shadows, wich is my fav dos based shooter. Somehow you can make it work on android, with full controls, but i never found the way to do it.

what app/rom setup do you use to get this working? looks like a good one
Blazing star is awesome, as is Pulstar (both NeoGeo). Dont forget theres GigaWing (CPS2) All three of these games, and many more, are playable on the awesome emulator Tiger Arcade Game Emulator, or TigerMame on the android market. Remeber though you must have the original games in order to have the roms. I only remember these games because I dumped enough quarters into the arcade games as a teen... Oh and if you like the Turbo-Grafx 16, Sinistron is pretty good, not as good the above ones but still fun.
So in a nutshell:
NeoGeo:
Blazing Star
Pulstar
CPS2: (Capcom Play System 2)
Gigawing 1 & 2
hmm tiger arcade is giving me graphics issues and control issues. I see the text and coin graphics but nothing else... also cant seem to map the controls to the xpderia pad. ah dear
What version of Tiger Arcade do you have? Mine works flawlessly on my xplay.
My settings for Tiger Arcade. V 2.2.0
Orientation: Landscape
Scaling Mode: Stretched
Key Mappings:
-Up - Dpad up
-Down - Dpad down'
-Left - Dpad left
-Right - Dpad right
-Coin - Select button (next to srat)
-Start - start obviously
Button A - X
Button B - Circle
Button C - Square
Button x - Triangle
its the one currently on their site:
http://apps.tigerplay.net/
the apk download says 3.0.3 but my phone is charging so I cant see if thats the version listed in the app itself

hehe some CAVE goodness..there are many CAVE bullet hell/manic shooters,main problem is:they are mostly vertical/TATE shooter and this is unfortanetly too small on xperia plays screen,you simply can`t concentrate on the ships hitbox(except Progear no Arashi which was made together with Capcom and is a horizontal shooter)
but if you want some really manic shooting i strongly recommend to fire up a pc mame emulator,for instance there is a extra lagless SHMUPMAME version,you can grab it on SHMUPS.COM,turn your monitor to vertical and try
-Donpachi(classic)
-Dodonpachi(my favourite till today,beautiful drawn sprites,great soundtrack,big explosions,supernice bulletpatterns)
-Dodonpachi Daioujou(ruthless one,you will throw your controller/stick onto the wall .-)
-E.S.P.rade(first in the "ESP" series)
-Espgaluda 1("easiest" Cave Shooter)
-Ketsui(Hardcore!)
-Guwange(probably the most stylish one if you are into japanese settings and oh boy the music in stage 3..)
-Dangun Feveron/Fever SOS(THE Disco Shooter,fast and frenzy.-)
all of them are great on their own! there are also numerous ports of the newer CAVE games on xbox 360(Mushihimesama Futari,Espgaluda 2,Dodonpachi Resurrection,DeathSmiles 1+2,Pink Sweets/MuchiMuchiPork are the ones that come to my mind).simply put CAVE are the masters of bullet hell shooting .-) i`ve got an old CRT monitor standing vertical with a arcade stick just for all the vertical shooters .-)
and for Blazing Star:yeah i totally forgot that one,really great shooter!
i`m personally really enjoying Mars Matrix and Giga Wing on the Xperia Play cause they have some sort of full screen vertical,which i didnt like on the big screen but for the Xperia Play its perfect,from the ps one games its Gradius Gaiden and the Salamander Deluxe Pack which i like the most.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that Brotherhood of Violence by Realtech VR is optimized for the Xperia Play gamepad. You need to check (tick) the 'Joystick' parameter in the Options menu and then it's game on. The button icons etc even come up in the first level tutorial.
Not played it much yet but it has a retro 'Streets of Rage' flavour and is quite cinematic with some console grade graphics to ice it off . The in-game voice-over will have you cracking up with laughter. I think it is intentionally ridiculous as the subtitles (which appear to be compulsory) make more sense.
Character customization appears to be a huge part of the game, though I haven't delved into that yet. Playing with mainstay character Lamar makes the game feel like your playing a crossover of Black Dynamite meets Warriors! Anyhoo, I've said too much! Let me know what you think

Wow, I was just about to buy this on my Microsoft Surface Pro! Think I might just be buying both versions
Thanks for the heads up OP!

Great find man. There are no problems with lags or force closes in this game right? Was looking for a good fighting game on Android.
No lags that I can find yet. But that being said my phone is overclocked and I haven't tested it at factory MHz level.
The voice overs had me giggling too. I really don't think it was intentional either, just sounds like they don't speak english really well. I like Realtech VR, they always include us Xperia Play users.
Major content update for this game along with Google Play Games integration has been added on Google Play.

2.0.1 :
- Fixed shadow rendering on some devices.
- Fixed Gametel support.

Yes, it is, for the XPlay. If you think the present price point is too costly, wait until it goes on sale again.

Working beautifully in my smart q t20 tab with an ipega BT controller.
I use option scr invert X and swap X/Y, in out device
Great work! Much better than sixaxis controller and free!!!
This could be a great tool to get some games working on an OUYA. I'll play around with this as soon as I have the time and report back! Thanks!
I have been able to get the ouya control sticks working by swapping x/y axises and inverting the x axis. So far I have set this up for dead tiger and minecraft.

are there any video tutorials? or step by step guides? Honestly I have no idea how to use this and didn't understand the wiki page
Exclude devices
Is there any way to exclude device that is conected beacause you dont want to use it in games?
for example i have Conectet to my ouya wireless usb keyboard and mouse witch i dont use in games...
without some tutorials, this is useless! i appreciate the time you spent making this but most of us here have no idea how to use it.
the videos on youtube show just some people paying games, no real DEMONSTRATION.
i'm using NYKO playpad pro and i can't control most of my games.
this might be the right app.
Awesome!
Thank you Tincore, I must say this app is very useful not only for gaming but for my home entertainment.
I use my S4 connected to TV via MHL adapter and ipega wireless controller, both works pretty good and setup is quite easy for me.
To make it more perfect, it possible to have auto load profile to a specific profile? because I want my non games use specific profile (with hybrid virtual pointer and home,back,etc shortcut so I can easily go around the launcher and other app movie, gallery from my couch) but when launching specific game, I want it to load specific game profile.
Also can you explain extra paid support feature below,
- Add extra touch controls? --> what other extra touch? why is it useful?
- Analog stick input? --> I dont understand, sorry
Each extra feature has different price and almost $25 for all features, do you have premium one with cheaper price
I don't see any overlaid buttons at all when I have my Moga connected to my Nexus 4. Are they supposed to show up automatically when I open Tincore?
Edit - figured it out, have to press buttons to get them to show up, working perfectly now
How do you do to use it with a bluetooth gamepad?
It doesn't seem to recongnize my gamepad if I hit the refresh option on tincore and click que bluetooth sync button on the gamepad, so how is it supposed to connect to the gamepad?
Is there someone who can help me to setup my moga pro to play at order and chaos?!
Michealtbh? Can you help me?

Open Tincore then minimize it. Open the game, launch Tincore while in the game (I use Smart Statusbar to help with this) then map the buttons. It couldn't be easier.
You really need to be more specific if you need help.
help
man.. i really need your help. i have lenovo s920 and.. i tried to pair it with ipega via tincore. but it doesnt work,, just force close. i try blueimez and bt joystick and it just the same. but only tincore can detect my ipega. my you have a solution..
my s920 run in jelly bean 4.2.1.
I still can't get a hang of it of Tincore Keymapper. Im trying mapped keys for touch screen games mc4, shadowgun,fifa, codboz, etc for use with xbox 360 wireless controller on a mk802iv android pc mini. Basically, whenever I make tincore visible to mapped out the touch screen keys, it either pause the game or black it out. I probably gonna have to use post-it notes to tape position of touch keys on my smart tv. Even opening the app is a pain in the ass cause most of the times it just force close out tincore. Plus, the 2 triggers buttons R2 and L2 are unusable in tincore.
Most of times, I learned how to use apps by tinking around for about a few minutes. I have been playing around with Tincore for a week now and still clueless about how to use it. wish there was a dumb-down tutorial on it.

I am writing this in the hopes that game developers will see this. There is a golden opportunity out there for any game developer willing to take on the challenge - Gamepads are coming out every day for Android, and everyone wants to use them. MOGA, nVidia Shield, and PS3 Gameklip are just a few of the most popular ones out there.
I personally just plug a USB xbox gamepad into my Android, and it works great, except there just aren't any gamepad-supported games. In the past few months, I have read countless threads listing gamepad games, I have downloaded and tried them all. There's even an app for Android that helps you find gamepad games.
So far, there are only TWO games that I would count as FULLY supporting ALL gamepads, and they're both made by the same company, (Madfinger Games) Dead Trigger and Shadowgun. They are the only ones that have a "gamepad controls" menu in the options that lets you go through each function and assign it a button or an axis. This is crucial. This is a huge opportunity for game developers! Why? Well have you ever been to a game expo, to the mobile gaming section, where people like MOGA demo their Android gamepads? There's dozens of different gamepad developers wanting to sell you their wares, but they are ALL playing the SAME game on their demo unit: Dead Trigger. Every where you look, it's "Look how good THIS gamepad can play Dead Trigger!" - Why? Because it's the only one that bothered to fully implement gamepad controls. Imagine how much of a free advertisement it would be if yours was the first game to break that trend, to be the only game in that expo that WASNT Dead Trigger!
While there are dozens of games out there that support MOGA, they only support MOGA, and often only one specific particular MOGA model. They don't let you change controls, and if you don't like how they're set up, you're screwed. Same goes for SHIELD. Most games that claim gamepad support only go so far as to support MOGA and Shield, and stop right there. They leave the rest of us in the dust.
There isn't a single racing game out there that supports HID gamepads like Xbox or PS3. Asphalt 8 supports them, in the way that a miser supports his mistress - secretly, hidden in some back corner. You don't get to change the controls, you are forced to use the A/B buttons for gas/brake instead of triggers, and the analog steering suffers from the "digital effect". That is to say it isn't really analog steering, it's either FULL left, or FULL right, with nothing in between. Same goes for every other big racing game out there, from GT Racing 2 to Real Racing 3.
So PLEASE devs, make us a real gamepad game! Make us lots! Make them racing, or shooters, or space sims, or sports games, whatever, and we will buy them! You will support the gamepad industry and make it thrive, like Dead Trigger is reluctantly doing right now, and in turn when they grow, they will support you. Get in on the ground floor, and there's money to be made. Get known for being THE company where EVERY game supports EVERY gamepad, and you could become the next Madfinger or Gameloft.
I guess this is more of a general Q for games that are supporting Shield compatibility. In Blitz Brigade for example everything works flawless with the Shield. However there is nothing in the options to rebind, and no OSD for me to drop Gamepad Mapper. Is there some super cereal app that can complement the shields key bindings?
My funtroller is running 4.4.2 and lacking its roots.
