[Q] Using phone as controller? - General Questions and Answers

I have two of the same phones listed in my sig. Is there a way to use one as a controller and the other to run the game? I was wondering if there was an app that could do that.
Thanks!

[Q] Cheap bluetooth gamepad

Is there a cheap console-like bluetooth gamepad that works with Android (not necessarily this phone in particular, as I don't know if it supports HID yet.
Also, is there one with joysticks that can be mapped to emulators?
EDIT: http://www.clove.co.uk/phonejoy-analog-android-game-controller I'm looking for something like this minus the expensive price tag.
I saw a post on redmond pie that is drivers for using a ps3 controller. I don't think it is yet compatible. Our Bluetooth protocol isn't supported. I suppose a dev would be able to make the changes to make it work though

personally i would use it for Gameboy, sega etc emulators.
I posted that before those drivers were released. I have a PS3 controller, and I guess I just have to wait for AOSP now.

if they improve their service in regions other than america, optimus 3d can be the best portable gaming device coz we have HD gaming, we have 3D, we have phone capability, we can text while we game, we can browse...and hell yeah instead of the gaming we have millions of apps in the market...!!
its just the hardware keys lacking...but if you have a controller then no problem with that

I wrote email some time ago to DPS.
Hello,
Can you tell me if you plan to add Optimus 3D to supported list of phones ??
Regards,
Robert
ANSWER WAS ((
I'm always working on adding support for new devices, but the Optimus
3D uses a different bluetooth chip than I'm used to, so without access
to the device, it will be difficult.

Cheap Emulator Controller for P500?

I was wondering if there is a cheap controller/gamepad that you can use on your Optimus One? Or if there is an app I can get to let me use my Xbox controller, or iPod Touch as a controller. I find the virtual gamepad unusable for most games. I just want a cheap way to have a alternate gamepad. Any suggestions? Btw im using the Oxygen Rom. Thanks

Looking for zeemote type controller?
been scouring the net for some time, haven't come across anything.
Get a bluetooth mini keyboard and just configure the buttons. Thats what I did and it works great

I'm using the Wiimote Controller with CM7 based rom. It needs to be on nonstock rom based since there is something wrong with the bluetooth of stock roms. It works very well with the wiimote and also with the classic controller if you need more buttons.
The 6 axis controller compatibility checker says that it would work for the phone too but I havent tested it yet.
Thanks for the reply man. I actually just ordered a wiimote on ebay yesterday because I can use it on my ipod emulators. Its great now that i know it will work on my phone too! One question, I am on the Oxygen rom. Would bluetooth work on this or should I get CM7?

I can also recommend to have a look at Phonejoy (www.phonejoy.us), works with more than a hundred games and doesn't require root. So definitely worth checking out!
I have a big question, is it possible to manipulate touchscreen gestures with ie. a Wiimote or Sixaxis?? just like if they were a cordless mouse??
so for instance i could play GlowHockey with them???

He's talking about Bluetooth keyboards like this :
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-b...ia-symbian-s60-cellphones-black-37863?item=52
It works well with CM7 based ROMs. And if the game you are playing is compatible with hardware keys, it will work well for you.
I have the same keyboard on the link, worked for me, but its form factor made it uncomfortable to use for long periods of time.
I shifted to Wiimote + Classic controller for playing old school games.
i dont now for moment !

Modern Combat 3

Wow is it just me or are the touchpads horrible for this game? I just can't get the sensitivity right and they just feel sluggish. At times it will keep my character turning in a certain direction without my finger even on the touchpad. Blah...makes trying to play multiplayer not possible.

r u saying that the touchpads r working for you in mc3?
But i would suggest using only the left touchpad right thumb on the screen. its better to have one thumb on the screen then two!
Yes touchpads are working (if you can call it that) I got the game from the WAP Store from gameloft.

Same story here :\
Terrible gaming experience because of the controls.
I'm gonna try to get the PS3 dualshock controller working with it using the sixxaxis pairtool. At least then I would be able to enjoy the game. Just hope I can get the key mapping done right.

It does not have any gamepad support yet except xperia play. the only way you can use a ps3 pad with it is with sixaxis app on market and you will need to map the buttons and sticks with touch profiles. Tip if want to get it playing nice with that make sure MC3 in game controller settings and pick sticks. Been playing this like that on my Xperia S with HDMI works ok.

Yeh I have the sixxaxis app but can't figure out how to get it to work with the xperia play and MC3. The analog sticks don't move the player. You got MC3 working on the Xperia S or are you referring to other games?

Yes, played online 4 games last night 3 and today.. plays good no lag and smooth as butter... the version I use is the 1.0.1, the newer version that screwed up the controls and gave it major lag is 1.1.1.
I used to have Modern Combat 3, I hated the controls so much, I was expecting them to feel like how they do on Minecraft Pocket, which feel amazing!
The original market version is the best one
Controls work great and you dont loose progress when online

how can i get the version 1.0.1? im on 1.1.1 and ive paid for it from the google play store, ive tried emailing gameloft but as usual their customer service is absolutely terrible
Would it be better to buy this from Gameloft's store or from Google Play?
I know you guys are all saying that 1.0.1 is the better one to get but Ive had trouble finding (aarrrr) it hehe.
Hm... I was kinda getting pissed that the Gameloft Wapshop version hasn't been updated.
...but if the update's just gonna make everything ****ty, maybe I should be glad I didn't buy from the Google Play Store.
OR, OR, OOOOR!!... Gameloft could stop ****in around and make all their Xperia Play games work like Dead Space. Shadowgun's controls went from **** to sugar... and Gameloft has far more resources to work with opposed to Madfinger.

Fun stuff to do with a $5 HDMI Micro Hdmi to HDMI dat

Ok I imagine it would be fun to go to a friends house and hook up your 5$ Micro HDMI cable from your phone to their TV and start playing some strange video... but besides that, what would be the most impressive? I'm thinking running some video console emulator would be the best trick, if friends with androids could get a bluetooth controller app off market and could play VS.? Is this even possible?:fingers-crossed:
Yes, it is possible. You can use a wii remote, PS3 controller, or USB keyboard as a controller for the games.

theres an app called sixaxis controller that should allow you to pair a PS3 controller thru bluetooth
i also found this which looks kinda kool, i didnt read it to see if it has specific requirments, just looked cool as hell and caught my eye lol
http://www.gizmag.com/gameklip-android-ps3-games/23592/
Also there are some emulators that have built in controller support so all you have to do is pair it with the phone and map the buttons. But for the sixaxis controller app you need to be rooted for the controller to work. Rooting will also give you the option to overclock the processor so some of the more graphics heavy games will run smoother.

Though I'd like to see that mount different...In the gaming sense for VS games Tribes Ascend?!!Wonder if they'' have a android app prolly not .... It is better and does not require the TV...In the mean time I came up with using the TV connected to the triumph for a mobile security detail using tinycam monitor installed on the Triumph connected via HDMI to TV and SeCuret spycam Livestream (vs ip cam it has the benefit of detect motion @upload to dropbox as well... Feeding video is all IP camera does
