Hey, so just now i got my OTG cable from samsung, and i connected my controller and i use padkey settings app to use the controlelr with, but the app nor games will recognize the right stick... does that only work if the phone is rooted?
Cause i do not want to root my phone at all :/
If you don't root then your options are limited. Using the otg cable you may or may not have all the features you need.
For example, Dead trigger works perfectly via otg, as does Bards Tale. Modern Combat 4 on the other hand both analog sticks don't work and the buttons aren't mapped.
You need to Root and get Sixaxis and everything pretty much works because you can map touch screen inputs to the controller.

Ok cause if sixaxis is the same as the one on iphone is then is it so that for example in fps it doesnt auto turn around when you hold the right stick to either sides?

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.
I got my OTG USB cable and mice etc. seem to work fine. Tried the wired xbox controller and while it is detected via the BT joystick test app, it wont work in any apps.
Tried another generic USB gamepad today and nothing, not even recognised in the test app.
So has anyone managed to get a gamepad working natively? The main reason I ask if that my mum likes to play the odd old arcade game (cool huh) and she would need gamepad support and wont bother if she has to pay out and configure another it all via another app!
thanks
guess not
I have gotten a wireless sixaxis controller to work via bluetooth, but my wired xbox controller will not work.

stock 4.0.4
Use a ps3 controller. No wires = boss. And you can even use it for touch screen only games.

yeah if I could get one cheap then it would be great, my mum wont be up for spending a fortune
I have the same problem here. In my case I have generic USB controller and totally the tab and BT joystick test app cannot detect it. Did you manage to make it work?
For those who were able to get the game controller to work on tablet, which ROMS have the sixaxis program installed?

you'll most likely require a rooted devices and the appropriate keylayout files. Some devices already have them installed in /system/usr/keylayout or /data/system/devices/keylayout but I haven't looked to see if the Tab 7+ does or not. I have noticed that alot of the really cheap tablets have a crap load of keylayouts already installed but the more expensive devices do not...
I tried to use a xbox controller but the tab wouldn't recognize it. I have used a keyboard and it works great. Any usb keyboard should work.

Just got this delivered and managed to get to work in neogeo emu. Has different modes
Native, keyboard, mouse touchscreen control and icade which is for apple devices but noticed bluezime on play store supports icade so another option if i run into compatibility problems.
SG deadzone seems to not set keys properly for me i thought one of sticks is not centre but tried on other input settings like in emus and i can set fine there.

Good to know. I had been wondering about how it works since people seem to be unable to get it tow work on 4.2 (there is a thread on this controller in the general accessories section of the forum). I'm a little disappointed that SG Deadzone isn't mapped correctly though. Is there anyway to map the keys via the game settings?
Well it seems a bit iffy if you change the mode but i found that you have to unpair connection then repair and turn pad on and back on. Should work in new mode then.
Bluezime i couldn't figure out how to use icade though.
dead zone may be just being glitchy as it said wasn't responding after trying to set pad. Thought it was setting fine until fifth option said joystick axis then any other did. Thought stick was maybe issue but only happened on that so...
Ps3 pad proberly better but not as portable

so i try to set keys again on deadzone. as soon as i click either dpad or left stick i get y axis -7 which overwrites any button i click to change. I tested Mario in n64oid and was able to set anolog stick as anolog and dpad as dpad. No right stick though lol
Managed to set keys on dead zone using dpad as movement. I presume left stick deadzone is iffy on mine and due to setting on game. Right stick works for aim. Which the item and weapons were 1 button not 3 as i can only pick 2 of each
been messing with apps for more compatibility.
i would recommend gamekeyboard. go thru setup and then select quick settings pick bt controller > joystick. Scroll down settings and uncheck use blueime service for Bluetooth. You wanna pair device normally to gamepad mode " x and home".
Then go to hard key mapping. The sticks and dpad are set fine you need to press a scroll down set to gamepad a. So for GTA i just set a b x y buttons and l2 r2 on trigger.
Hope this helps.

Actually after a week the rubber clips fell off. I wouldn't recommend this now to anyone. Just get a sixaxis

I bought one of these today on eBay for £15. Some people in the other thread have said quite a lot of games (including Shadowgun) work fine natively. It's worth a try at £15 anyway, no big deal if it's rubbish
Yeah may work fine for you I had to set movement to dpad though but worked fine. Think my left stick not dead center or maybe you wilk have same prob. Right stick worked fine and there not bad little nubs.
I would recommend make sure you max out the grip as it has a heavy spring and only just fits. That's why my rubber stick grips fell off I was dragging thru grip. Hold top bit so it doesn't clamp. So don't clip lol

Have you tried Dead Trigger with it?
yeah read previous post. i could not set left stick so used dpad for movement.
Stick works fine in other games
For GTA vc use gamekeyboard app and remap a b x y sect sticks work anyway in gta

Finally got mine, Shadowgun and Dead Trigger work fine. In GTA I can run around using the sticks but can't do anything else, I'll have to try with Game Keyboard
Whenever I connect it to my n4 it breaks WiFi. 3g will work but I have to turn off WiFi or I get no internet.

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.
