How 2 player NES emulator? - Shield Q&A

Hi guys I'm trying to play two players on the Nvidia with one Bluetooth controller and one using the Nvidia controller I am using this in Nes.EMU Emulator The farthest I have got is the one player will control the one player person but the Bluetooth controller will control the second player and the first player is there something I'm missing on the set up for this I can understand why the Bluetooth controller is controlling first player to play console games from your couch but is there a way to get it to be it's own second player controller then I can enjoy games like my force thank you for any help or info on this maybe even a set up walk-through or maybe a different emulator I should be using thank you guys in advance for any help

Hi, i'm not to knowledgeable on bluetooth controllers on the Shield or other android devices (such as the nyko line of bluetooth controllers). But the only method (that I have experience with) is with sony's six-axis controller for the ps3. I have two ps3 controllers and rooted multiple of my android devices (Asus tf700 tablet, Nexus S, and Shield) and paired my PS3 controllers by a simple procedure to get both to work on my device (using an app called "Sixaxis Controller"). This is the only method that i have experience with that would let you play with 2 controllers on a 2 player game running on a emulator. Sorry if this isn't the answer you're looking for, but this is the only method i know that works for me.
Requirements:
- rooted device
- two ps3 controllers
- pc
- Sixaxis Controller app

[Q] Where are we at on intergrating a ps3 or 360 controller for emulator use?

I know that on the Xoom, the new 3.1 allowed some very basic use of the ps3 controller, but what about full use with one or two controllers connected bluetooth to the Transformer?
Is this something we'll have to wait for proper support for, or can this be wired into a rom?
Thanks for the replies folks.
My tf is in the mail now and i would love to see the xbox 360 controller utilized in games such as dungeon defenders, or gun bros, or any emulator games. is there anything the xda community could do to help this concept along or is there just hours and hours of coding to be done to get the controller up and running correctly?
It shouldn't be that difficult. xpad.ko is floating around for Android 2.2 devices and works nicely on devices such as the Advent Vega.
I'm sure it will happen in time.

and if you need to download other emulators from the developer "yongzh" which by the way his emulators cannot be found on the Market because Google is being big jerks about it, you can still download them using his website.

Just a warning/observation. While from reading, though I haven't tried it yet, you appear to be able to use two controllers via bluetooth, hooking two differnt working usb contoller to the usb ports on the dock doesn't work in either the snesoid, nor N64oid. Instead you will find both controllers control both characters on the screen.

with Snex9x Ex the app allows you to make a wiimote player 1 and another player 2.
I have used my wii remote (plus classic controller) with n64oid but 1 player only.
To do this I used WiiController from the market first before opening n64oid.
It may not work 2 player though as it seems to map wii controls to the keypad.
i'll give it a go in the next wee while
Edit - Just tried and I couldn't get n64oid to do 2 player.
Consolation Snes9x EX should do no problem.

Super Gnes has two player. I use sixaxis for PS3 controllers.
I'm looking for two player MAME/CPS2/Neo-Geo. Especially with this coming:

Hello, I was wondering if I can connect 2 controllers to sixaxis and play it on N64oid. I tried one controller and works awesome, the second controller connects on sixaxis, but when I open a game on n64oid first controller works and the second one doesnt do anything. I then switched the controllers, but only whichever controller synced first works and the second one doesnt do anything. Please help...

You need to go into input settings and map the buttons for the second controller

Hoping to get an answer through this thread....
I have a TF201 with SNESoid from "Yongzh" and two PS3 Six-Axis controllers. Is there a way to play two player games using each of the controllers? I can get them both to "work", but they only control the 1st player. I have mapped one controller under controller 1 and the other under controller 2. Thing is, the button that is assigned to each control is the same, which is obvious since they are the same type of controllers, but I can't get the emulator to distinguish the two. Not sure if I make a ton of sense, but if you have a way to play 2 player on an SNES emulator for the TF201, I'd love to hear it.

SNES Four Players?

Hi There,
I'm using the Sixaxis app to connect four PS3 controllers. I am using SuperGNES for SNES emulation.
Wondered if anyone had any success configuring and using four PS3 controllers (or Wii remotes) to play games like Super Bomberman or NHL 94?
If so how do you configure four controllers? I can only see options for two.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I can't help you.. but..
Wii-motes? :O Please give more info.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm using a Wifi Motorola Xoom, running ICS and attempting to use any SNES emulator in conjunction with four Playstation 3 controllers. The controllers themselves are easily recognized via Bluetooth by the SixAxis Controller app, but I cannot seem to find an emulator for Android that supports more than two of them.
While I was able to get four Nintendo Wii Wiimotes recognized and configured via Snes9x EX, I'd really prefer to get four Playstation 3 controllers working.
Just wondered if anyone had ever attempted this and found success.
Wait, I think I found your problem. IIRC, SNES had a max of 2 controller ports. Even PC emulators can't run in 3-4+ player mode.
N64 has 4 players.
But are you saying 4-players works fine with the wiimotes..?
Hey StickMan,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Actually the SNES released a peripheral called the "Multitap" which allowed four player gameplay with certain games. Among them was NHL 94.
I was actually successful in getting four players to work with an emulator called
Snes9x EX which allows you to "Enable Multitap".
I was then able to connect and configure four Wiimote controllers and play with four players.
Snes9x EX has native support for Wiimote controllers, but I could not seem to connect or configure PS3 controllers.
Would love to be able to get those working!

Game controller with Bluetooth for games Question

Can I use a bluetooth wimote or bluetooth playstation controller with the Note 10.1. I would like to play some old Nintendo games I used to play back in the day with the emulators. I read that you can use bluetooth controllers when playing games which I would prefer since the whole on screen controls don't appeal to me and I find it difficult. My question is do I need root in order to set this up or can I do it with stock on the 10.1. I heard of some sixaxis app or something but don't know if I need it. looking for some help since I'm sure others on this board know a lot more about this than I do. If anyone has any other advice for me...I'm all ears. Thanks

I'm not sure about the Wii mote, but the Sixaxis app is specific to playstation controllers I believe and requires root so i doubt it would work on the stock 10.1.

+1 for this query.
On the TF101, you just needed to connect a PS3 pad via the USB port and press some buttons to verify it worked. This in turn synced the controller. After this switching on the tablets blue tooth and pressing the PS logo on the PS3 controller would allow it to work via blue tooth. No root or sixaxis app needed. I'm guessing that won't work here?
What about purchasing the usb connector kit for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that supposedly works with the Note 10.1. Get the connection kit plug in the usb controller into the usb port on the connection kit and see if it allows it to synch with bluetooth like you listed above. I would love to know if this works.
If you want to play Nintendo games I suggest the NES.emu emulator from the play store. It will discover wii motes in app and you can use them to play. Works very well with no root.

PS3 Sixaxis controller needs root and the app. You can always use an xbox controller wired or wireless (with dongle via usb and app) more work though. Or connect a bluetoothe keyboard or wired keyboard.
As for emulators I recomend that you get droidemu lite and support the developer and get the full support as this emulator has all worthy emulators in it except n64 and ps1. He is very responsive to issues and fixed issues in a timely manner.
I just tested with mine and I was able to connect a Wii Remote using WiimoteController in less than 5 minutes. I tried it for a few minutes in GTA3, no problems so far.
Can confirm Sony PS3 wireless bluetooth controller works with SixAxis but requires root. Aside from the convenience of wireless controller it also extends the life of your port connector from wear and tear.

[Q] PS3 controller and Bluez IME on Shield

So I'm sure this question has been asked and answered but I'd like to use a PS3 controller (or possibly another Bluetooth controller) on my Shield but I'm not sure how. I wanna be able to sit on the couch and play emulators without looking at one screen in my face and be able to play games multiplayer. Help would me much appreciated. I'm semi-new to Android. Before owning the shield I had a phone for a bit last year but couldn't get a controller to work on that either.
I also would like to try that.
with ipega or moga controller.
Don't know about the PS3 controller, but I use the OnLive BY controller and use the HDMI port on SHIELD to my TV...

Yes, works great.
You can use also a Xbox controller with a USB receiver.
If you want to use the PS3 controller you have to root your shield and use the famous sixaxis app from google play. To use the Xbox controller you don't need to root, because you're actually connecting the receiver to the USB in the shield.
Now that I tried both I prefer PS3 controller, because involves less cables and with the sixaxis app you can map buttons and change a lot of things.
