[Q] joypad will not work - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, i have seen simple video's on youtube showing how to connect both ps3 and xbox360 pads to tf300.
the ps3 looked the easiest as it was basically a question of just plugging in.
I also purchased an xbox360 pcUSB dongle to connect to tf300.
pS3 would not register at all, there was no change when i plugged in at all so moved onto xbox360.
a little more luck with this as some basic functions work on the odd game.
however i really wanted to get it working with dead trigger. when i try the camera angle just spins around as if i was keeping the left pad pushed.
Even when configing the pad set up in the game i got same result.
how can i get a joypad to work with the games that say they support controllers
my tf300 is not rooted but would do it if it would fix problem
i am running android 4.1.1
is anyone else able to get a fully functional joypad working with the likes of dead trigger and shadowgun?
any help greatly appreciated

I had the same problem with dead trigger (or it may have been another madfinger game) when i tried to use a wireless xbox controller. Not sure on why it happens.

So did you manage to get any controller working with dead trigger

Not really, i only tried an xbox controller

I can confirm that original n64 controller with usb adapter works great.

Kinda weird but thought I would try again with controllers before rooting and to my amazement, both the xbox360 wireless and ps3 worked.
Tried on shadowgun and dead trigger. I was able to map both and play.
However both games play for a short while then constantly crash. Think they crash more with the Xbox pad than ps3. Pity as plugged into 46" TV and had great fun for 10 mins

Anyone get a ps3 controller working with wit their TS?

I have the dock and have plugged in my ps3 controller but I cant seem to figure out how to get it to work... any suggestions? There is a video out there but it is in french.

Did you make sure to power on the controller with the PS3 button in the middle?
I had to try a few time to get it to work because it kept turning on the PS3.
Sure did. Works great but I think we can buy any El cheapo controller now. I wonder how the analog sticks work n64 emu or ps2 emu.

my generic PS3 style controller does not work on the transformer, I get a green power light, but it doesn't work in any app or game.
official PS3 controllers are still £36 for a second hand one in Game or Gamestation, so I havent got one yet to try.

Wireless Xbox Controller Issue

Hi,
This problem has been raised before on other threads, but I haven't been able to find a solution. Basically when I use my wireless xbox controller (wireless xbox usb dongle), the game camera will just spin. The only game I have that works is Riptide, the game I want to use it for is GTA 3. I know that nvidia states that the xbox wireless controller isn't supported, so this is a more of a "how do I get this to work thread".

I have used my wireless xbox controller in Dead Trigger and it worked out of the box. The only settings I had to changed were the buttons.
I think, rather than a driver or whatever complicated, you should check for in-game settings or small apps.

Maybe the IME needed to make it work isn't quite up to snuff. I noticed my Wiimote freaks out when using Bluez IME, but not under Wiimote controller. I'm going to clear the data and see if that helps. When I get my dock, I'll take a look at using my 360 controller through the dongle.

Yea I've tried that, it doesn't work. The game seems to think one of the buttons is constantly being pressed. When I try to remap a control it will always map it to the same button. But I half fixed this, I found my PS3 controller and I'm using that sixaxis app. I prefer the xbox controller but the PS3 controller is bluetooth, so no cords.

Gamepad Questions

Has anyone confirmed that a wired xbox 360 controller 100% works on the TF700? Also, I found that Gamestop makes a bluetooth gamepad. Does this gamepad work with the TF700 and has anyone had any hands on experience with it?
Thanks,
Kris
My 3rd party 360 wired controller works great. The only issue is that the player number ring flashes the whole time its plugged in.
Thanks for the reply. I noticed in your signature that you are rooted. Do you know if the wired controller will still work with non-rooted devices?

I have had stellar results with a PS3 controller and the Sixaxis Controller app from the Play store. I don't even own a PS3 and I've ordered another controller to get some sweet multiplayer action going.

Emulators probably, I went the same route. Have iControlpad, Phonejoy, wired XBox, nothing beats the lightweight and responsiveness on the PS3 controller.
Have the ps3 controller paired now, works with the sega and snes emulators no problem, was playing Streets of Rage 3 last night. My usb adapter arrives tomorrow and ill see how my wired 360 controller works.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Yep, emulators. Also got touch emulation going for FF3, and after spending a few minutes configuring, it works great for navigating around towns and the overworld. Don't think there's any way to get menu navigation working with the pad though.

Setting up XBOX 360 gamepad?

How do i get an xbox 360 gamepad to work with shadowgun or dead trigger. My character just spins around and stuff like that. i can't even play the game. The controller works fine as it works with onlive. It's hard to even assign the controls as it automatically becomes joystick 3+ or something like that. Thanks for the help.

Not quite sure how it works with the xbox controller, but if its recognized by the game as a gamepad then you can assign the buttons on the settings of each game.

i tried it but the character still spins around. I can't even assign buttons on shadowgun with ease because it automatically becomes a certain button.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
What you are saying is that when you try to assign a button it automatically sets it? so when trying to set several buttons you get the same mapping?
If that's what is happening maybe your controller is malfunctioning or the global mappings are wrong. Go into your tablets setting under input fins your controller make sure it has a check mark on the left side, then tap on the right side button to toggle the controllers specific settings. In there check the global mappings make sure that the buttons don't repeat themselves.
Hope that helps, I. don't have an xbox controller so I can't be much help.

Sorry, i didn't explain it that well really. It's like the analogue stick is malfunctioning so when i'm trying to assign a button, because the analogue stick is "malfunctioning", it automatically assigns the action to the analogue stick because it detects constant movement i think. The only thing i can do to get it to assign is to mash the button and what i want it to be assigned to constantly at the same time. The controller works fine. I don't know why it does that. Thanks for the help

Try cold booting and then reconnecting your controller. Is it wired or wireless btw? I hear some people are having problems with the wireless one. (You can also try pressing the stick to the bottom, that sometimes works with the xbox at least)
It's wireless. Thanks for the help

Xbox isn't Bluetooth so I doubt it would work. I think some kind of adapter would be required, but uncertain if there's one that works with android.

This is a useful article on getting your wireless Xbox controller to work with your tablet. You will need a wireless receiver, which can be bought for around £7. I wasn't able to get it working exactly, or was missing a file, so I downloaded the USBJoyService app. It detected my controller and and had to map the buttons in MD.emu (MegaDrive emulator).
I didn't find it 100% responsive. It felt laggy. I would prefer to either go for a wired Xbox controller, or get a PS3 controller, as it has bluetooth (though are expensive).
