ok i tried mame4droid and i entered controlers for burger time.it worked perfect but when i powered off and turn on the uhost2 i have to reenter the controls all over again.i also tried mame reloaded.in reloaded i dont have to enter dpad controls just the button(salt shaker)reloaded also is weird.salt shaker button just goes away after i configure it.is this the mame apps at fault or the ps3 controller? i paired both by having controller on pc(usb) and using the sixxasis app on android device.i'm using latest fw for uhost2.i n android settings i set sixxaxis controller as default input instead of the keyboad.i'm trying to set this up for parents.

I've been googling for help with this for the past two weeks and coming up with nothing: is there a tweak or setting to enable function of the right analog stick on PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers? Having just the left is fine for cordy, but I need the right for c-buttons on n64oid. Anyone out there have any info on this?

I've had the same problem and haven't come up with a fix yet using my old Six Axis via usb cable. I've been using the a classic wiimote instead for now. Getting ready to try the new Sixaxis controller app to see if it will work better pairing the controller up via bluetooth instead of usb.

I've tried it myself. I works on the same principle as the Wiimote pairing app, except I think it piggybacks on the PS3 controller drivers native to android which leads to the d-pad, right, and left stick all getting treated at the same button presses. The end result, in my testing, was that moving the right stick left triggered a right analog, right-c, and right d-pad all at once, which is problematic to say the least.
Did that explanation make sense?

So even with the sixaxis controller app, you still can't map the right analog stick?

the d-pad, right stick, and left stick all register as a single d-pad, make sense?

Yeah, thanks for clarifying.
By chance what controller are you using, is it a Dualshock 3, or just an older sixaxis or a third party made?
I've tried 2 different sixaxis controllers over usb (Both are from when the ps3 originally came out) and a logitech controller with a dongle, none worked.
I've read in other threads in the forum after 3.1 came out and it seemed like they were lots who it worked fine for, so don't know what they were doing different
The sixaxis controller app has settings that allow for the left and right analog sticks to be programmed separately. The trick is that by default they are set to mirror each other. Just open the app, hit the menu button, go to input settings and scroll all the way to the bottom. I changed my right stick to A, B, C, D so that it didnt interfere with the other buttons.
I have been happily playing Goldeneye 64 with dual analog controls a la Halo for a few days now and love it. I even made a mini setup tutorial if youre interested http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16442843#post16442843
p.s. for what its worth I'm using a plain jane SixAxis minus rumble. Got it dirt cheap on eBay since Transformer cant send rumble commands anyway.
Just to add: After you change the controller configuration in Sixaxis controller, you need to disconnect then reconnect the controller for the new configuration to take effect. I have it working fine on my transformer.

Thanks, I was going to ask about that. Now my sixaxis is my go to controller.
I'd still like to get the right stick working while the controller's plugged in. Having true analog response for the left stick combined with c-buttons would be gaming nirvana. anyone have any luck with that?

A copy and paste of the what I posted on the Fpse forum since I thought people here might be interested.
I have an Asus Transformer, and a wireless PS3 controller via Sixaxis Controller app
After fiddling with Fpse for a couple of hours, here is my impression:
Menus are very buggy:
Most settings have trouble saving - took me 3 try tries to get Country - Europe to save, other settings are hit and miss
Controller input settings never save - Every time I load Fpse I have to re-input the controller settings under "Hardware keys"
- Please fix this!!!!
Controls are OK:
Once the controls are mapped, they work pretty much as expected
No analog emulation for digital keys = I can't play ape escape with my wireless PS3 controller, bummer.
Definitely needs analog emulation for digital key presses
I might be able to find a work around for the analog with Sixaxis Controller app, not sure. Still getting used to the app
Audio - Sometime great, sometimes not so great
The audio appears tied into the frame rate - if Frameskip is on, it also appears to skip the audio, resulting in choppy audio
When games run at full frame rate, the audio is pretty good.
Games seem to work just fine
Games appear to be working just as they should, nothing spectacular, nothing bad, which is a very good thing.
Performance seems a little slow, but that could be the Transformer not having enough CPU power, or Fpse.
This post may not seem negative, but it is really not. Any problems I didn't experience means they are not there, which means a lot of things work great. It's hard to find things that are working correctly, because if they are working correctly, you should never notice they are there. I also know this is a relatively new app, and Android is a new operating system. It takes time to get things to work correctly.
I am very satisfied with Fpse. But getting the menu to save the controller settings and adding analog emulation would go a long way to making even more satisfied and telling more people about Fpse (hint, hint). A playstation emulator without a proper control setup kills the fun outright.
I installed CM7 nightly 25 for my SGSII and installed the sixasis app, configured just fine with FPse and worked everytime I started it up again, remembered just fine.
Didn't test analog though.
I configured the control and then saved it as default under settings.
If you load a game that already has a config or save you need to re-enter the controls and save again as default, this will be for that game then...
after that it works fine
Hi ...
I was trying to use the sixasis, and I could use it fine on the phone...
The problem is that I cannot use it with FPse...
Anyone can help me about how to set it ?
Thanks
What specifically are you having problems with?
1) Connect the PS3 controller via sixaxis controller app
2) Configure the PS3 controller buttons in sixaxis, i.e. what keyboard button you want each PS3 button to emulate
3) Disconnect and reconnect to Sixaxis controller app
4) Open FPse and load a game
5) Configure the controls in FPse to use the PS3, Remember sixaxis controller app makes the PS3 controller emulate keyboard buttons, so configure key bindings
6) In FPse, under system, click save default settings. If you don't do this you have to rebind the PS3 controller keys every time you start FPse
7) Play game

That's the problem ...
I can use the controller in all other operations on the phone, but I'm not able to configure correctly the sixaxis for the FPse ...

Same issue here Were you able to get it working? If so please send link. I'm still searching for a solution.
Both work great for me on tf. There were recent issues if you were using the opengl plugin and tried to bind keys, but the newest update fixed it.

Which specific ps3 wireless controller do you guys recommend?
anyone figure it out?
I'm very pleased that after JB update we can connect PS3 controllers via Bluetooth (without any additional apps) to TF700. It was no problem to connect 2 controllers at once... both work like a charm... it strange that light indicators on controllers indicate that both controllers are on the same "channel" (1st from 4)
...anyway.. it's a different story when you want to assign two controllers in mame4droid emulator. Everything works perfectly with one cntrl ...just need to define keys for player 1 and voila.... you can play SF3 without braking your fingers on touchpad...
I thought that it would be nice to try any fighting game for two players... unfortunately when I tried to define keys for player two (for 2nd cntrl), I saw that mapping of keys for 1 st player one was gone... it seems that mame4droid understands that these two PS3 controllers (which are both connected via bluetooth) are one and the same controller
Also tried connecting second controller with USB cable.... ...no success.
By the way no problems of using dock keyboard for second player...but this not the way out...
Anyone has any clues how to assign second controller in mame4droid?
hey buddy
i was wondering how do u set up your controller in mame4droid? i;m having a little trouble.
I'm trying to use my ps3 controller via Bluetooth via console mode on my tv but it keeps closing all the programs including the sixaxis service.. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I think console mode is made to work with nvidia's controller specifically. Have ypu tried just mirroring it in full screen mode?
Yeah but that defeats the purpose of having the screen off
Same issue here. Just have to enable six axis blindly through the tablet. I don't think there's a way around it right now. Even my Nvidia shield controller is doing the same. It turns off the Nvidia controller too. But luckily when I turn the controller on it auto connects. Unlike my ps3 controller. But regardless which I use, any open apps closes. Has to be a software fix at this point.
I haven't used a ps3 controller with mine but will the controller connect with the tablet at all when it is powered on or do you have to do that manually through the six axis app?

You could use Gravitybox and add sixaxis controller in quick settings as an custom app. It makes it a lot easier to enable blindly at least
console mode shus down all background programs including the sixaxis service. Unless there is a way to keep it running even in console mode i dont think it is possible atm
My solution to this was to use an Harmony Smart Control remote.
Since it supports controlling Bluetooth devices, I had set it to work with the tablet.
This allowed me to control the tablet once in console mode and turn on six axis.
I imagine a Bluetooth keyboard or a usb one with an OTG cable would also do the trick.
So I got it to work by setting six axis to auto boot with the tablet before I went into console mode

Well with root, you could adjust the Android Task Manager parameters. ROM Toolbox has an option to ignore chosen apps when "multi killing running apps" for instance. It has a "keep alive" option as well. Might be worth playing around with it. It does look like there's a fair chance it wouldn't do anything though if that really is the case.
well?
Auto run the app with LLAMA
Have you guys tried using LLAMA, try setting it to launch the Sixaxis app when console mode launches or when the NVIDIA hub(im not sure on the name here.) opens up.
Make Sixaxis a systems app
Thread is a little old but for those like me looking for a solution I made sixaxis a system app ( plenty of options in the app store) and set it to auto launch in the preference menu. Once it launched into console mode I just reconnected my ps4 controller. Works a treat.
Guys, Sixaxis controller have an "AutoStart" option in settings. Just turn on it before go to console mode and Sixaxis Controller app turn on when console mode start.
Been using the Sixaxis app on my Nvidia Shield tablet to play Gamestream games on my couch. I'm using the DS4 wirelessly over BT. The Shield is connected wired via OTG LAN adapter.
Have a couple of problems that I'm trying to sort out:
1. When I hold down any of the direction pad buttons, the input is taken as multiple fast presses so it's impossible to use in some games like GTA5 where you need to hold down a direction in order to change characters. This "long press" is actually used in quite a few games so it's a big bummer that it doesn't work properly.
2. I set auto-launch in the sixaxis app but when I switch to the console mode it doesn't pair with the DS4 when I turn it in. I have to stop and then re-start the sixaxis to get it to see the DS4.
Would really like to fix at least #1. Any suggestions?
PS: Shield is on Android 5.3.
Would someone who plays with the same setup (DS4 via BT) mind posting screenshot (or description) of their Sixaxis settings?
