Xoom Controller Q's

I know there is that thread for the Xbox controller, but how about ps3, can that connect wirelessly? Or even with the cord? Is the only thing I need to get this working is a USB OTG deal?
Also what games are you guys using with these controllers, I know a lot of people are using emulators, but what apps are you using to get them and the ROMs? Also besides emulators, what other games are working well with controllers?

Yea man this is pretty sweet. You just have to map the keys correctly and it works flawlessly. I like the feeling of the ps3 controller more than my xbox 360 controller.

Do you map it through android settings or what? I had a wiimote hooked up when i got the Xoom, but pretty much just to test it. I wasn't ver thrilled. But for that there was an app since it was wireless.

I was curious about this too. The 3.1 update comes with the additional keylayout files for the controllers and their mappings (there's even one for a logitech racing wheel) so would you really NEED to remap them?

He must be talking about remapping in the emulators themselves. The 3.1 update, even if it does have full profiles for the various compatible controllers, will only map keys in the OS itself. Programs that support the profiles will work automatically, or that happen to use the same keys i.e. just because the triangle button on the dualshock is mapped to "g" doesn't mean that SNESoid automatically maps the y button to g. This is what I would expect the case to be, anyway

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.

Gaming on theTronsmart T428 (or any Android TV Stick)

Hi Guys,
I have been messing with the T428 as an alternative to my Apple TV 2 (ATV2 is Rubbish) I have bought an Air Mouse (works great out of the box)
However I have a few questions:
I tried setting up some games:
Stupid Zombies (cannot click play / start)
Angry birds (cannot click play / start)
Asphalt (cannot click play / start)
My air mouse should support Gyro functions, and I thought the T428 played the games too...
anyone having similar issues with their Android TV devices?
Thanks

Just ran into a game where clicking start or pretty much every menu item nothing happens, any ideas?

Nope sorry, but still looking into it

if you have both rkremote and droidmote server installed they will not play nice with each other and change how certain imputs are registered by the sistem, like click become enter button in some apps so they wont work.
maybe the same happens with sixaxis controller app

Dead trigger and sixaxis

Hey guys,
I have been looking around the forums and on Google and cannot find the answer so hopefully someone here has an easy fix.
So I got sixaxis working on my tf700 fine even playing dead trigger it is working except 1 little part. The main screen of the game where its like a birdseye view of a city where you can choose different levels and shops and stuff to go to. The ps3 controller will not work on the screen, it only works in the actual game when your running around shooting zombies.
Sorry if this sounds confusing but I tried to explain it so people know what screen I am talking about.
Thank You

I noticed the same thing because I will use an HDMI cable to play it on my TV like a console game. But I have to go to the tablet to navigate the menu. The best idea is use a wireless mouse or Bluetooth mouse

Does sixaxis emulate your fingers touching the screen or does the game see it as a gamepad? This question has bothered me forever haha

Its both. It allows you to connect a ps3 controller with bluetooth and set it to either emulate touch or as a game pad. To do touch you have to set up things called profiles individually for each app you'll use it for. Like I use it for modern combat 4 and sas3 which neither support game pad.

[Q] (tablet) What controller to buy

Hello all,
I have had my tablet now for a week and love it, but I need a controller and the shield controller is still to far out. So what controller are you using and which controller should I look at. Also would a blue tooth keyboard mouse work with game like half 2?

I have been looking into the Moga Pro, think I'm gonna go get one after work today and give it a try.

I've been using the Amazon Fire TV controller and it works great. Tried it on a lark and it worked without a hitch. All buttons and toggles work great including the dpad. Haven't tried the audio buttons or the button to access the web but all the relevant game buttons and triggers work flawlessly. Easy setup too. Turn on Bluetooth, sync controller. Done.

Alright thanks for the help I'll look at both those controllers and Dcaplinger if you end up getting the moga pro let me know how it works out.

Before I had the Shield controller I used the iControlpad and the Steelseries FREE controller. Both have nice dpads and the button presses feel like 1st party pretty much. Unfortunately they do not have L2/R2 buttons so when I needed them I used a PS3 controller.

I'm currently using the Moga Pro controller and it's working well for me. I haven't ran into any problems yet. The cheapest one I heard that works so far is the Gamestop one for like $15.
I haven't tried console mode yet since I haven't bought the HDMI cable, but if you're planning to using console mode then the NVIDIA control might be the way to go as it has the touch keys. I read other users say it's quite a pain with regular bluetooth controls. (Only from what I read, so take that into account).

Im yet to find anything that works better then a ps3 controller.

How did you get it to work with Trine 2 or Unearthed Trails of ibn Battuta? BTW I'm connecting via USB as I found if connected to BT I can't play any nvidia grid games which is another issue.
Anyone have experience with the Nyko Play Pad controller?

If this was a response to me, that's what I mean when I said I'm connected via USB. Ps3 controller is so limited.

Yup plays great on the Grid. I had to remap some of the buttons on some of the games to match though. But I can't get it to work with trine or unearthed.

I'd say just definitely go with the Shield controller, I have the Moga Pro which I had bought for my Tegra Note which has now been replaced by the Shield Tablet, I really didn't like the Moga Pro at all, pain to setup, didn't like how it felt, it felt cheap, and it just sits there collecting dust now. I got my Shield controller last Monday though and totally love it, I love it so much in fact that I really hope someone comes up with a way to use it as a PC controller since it really is such a great controller and definitely worth the premium price over the Moga Pro.
