So recently, I got the ePSXe emulator for my Nexus 7, mainly because I wanted to play Metal Gear Solid 1. But I'm sure that anyone whose played Metal Gear Solid 1 will remember about the Psycho Mantis boss fight. Yes. You remember the solution to that fight. Remember how you have to plug a new controller into the second controller port so Mantis can't read your actions and you can beat him.
Well, My Nexus doesn't have two controller ports, or a controller, or even a single controller port for that matter. I remember when I did this on the PC version, I plugged in a PS3 controller and plugged it out during the fight. That counted as changing the controller port, but I'm wondering how I could do this on a Nexus 7? You know a boss is tough when you have to spend about 5 hours out of the game just setting up the necessary materials to beat him.

try using an otg controller

After spending an hour modding my OG atrix lapdock to work wth my Atrix 2 with the specific purpose of being able to plug in a mouse and keyboard or controller to play Shadowgun: Dead Zone... I've discovered two things
1. or whatever reason the Lapdock's USB ports are not read by USB/BT Joy Center - so i cannot use the gamepad to touch mapping function
2. The Lapdock keyboard is being detected as a gamepad - having a game pad present disables touch in shadowgun games... so i can't even use the native mouse to spawn and THEN plug in my gamepad to play.
Does anyone have a solution for this other than getting a PS3 controller to map with Blue tooth? lol I dont have a ps3 I have a 360
Swift replies, much help offered. Best forum evar. Thousands of unanswered threads like this.
Just because your question isn't answered doesn't mean that it is ignored. It may simply be that there are not any other people who have attempted to do what your doing here... the Atrix 2 community is a relatively small one on XDA. I would try post in the Atrix 4G forums, the original atrix functioned the same way with shadowgun and the lapdock... perhaps someone there will be able to help you
I'm not sure if this will work the way you want, but perhaps you could only plug in the hdmi cable and leave the usb port disconnected. Then, attach a usb otg adapter or cable to run your controller. This would require dangling wires because you wouldn't be able to dock it anymore since you would need access to both ports. Or, you might be able to make a little pigtail with the usb cable out of the docking area and to an otg adapter/cable.
Sorry, I don't know enough of the software end to know how to disable the keyboard and get what you want. You could potentially disconnect the hardware of the keyboard/touchpad and then you would essentially have an hdmi monitor and two usb ports.
Good luck!

Actually have the same problem with that game, although mine was a usb controller for pc.
The bright side is that the old Shadowgun actually does works pretty good with the same controller, maybe the guys from Madfinger would apply it later to DZ.
EDIT: Shadowgun DZ had an update, where they included gamepad support.
But it's still buggy with lapdock, you have to chose NOT to detect HDMI cable (in display settings) before you connect the phone to the lapdock, connect your gamepad and use your phone display to play.
I'm sure there is a way to overcome that thing.
Does the walking dead series controller work for anyone while streaming on the shield. I tried starting game with xbox controller plug in and not plug in. and nothing. guess its just one of those game that controller not supported on shield.

What are you guys and gals using as far as gaming controllers. I have a PS3 and Xbox One controller at home. Just wondering if either can be easily used with the Tab S. Just purchased Modern Combat 5. So far I've played it on the G3 and Nvidia Shield.

controller recharges the tablet
is it possible to connect the controller (that has a battery pack) to the tablet and recharge the tablet?
eg. can a xbox one controller, that has a battery pack, be connected with an mhl cable/usb cable to a tablet and be used to charge the tablet?

Finally figured it out...just in time for my trip!
I ended up buying the Red Samurai controller from Gamestop for $15.
I am able to connect and use with retroarch. Just needed to install the free app, Bluez IME. Takes a bit of configuring but once it's set, the controller works flawlessly.
The app and retroarch even has a reconfigured profile for the controller.

Great suggestion. I'm thinking buy the Moga Pro but this is cheaper and it is more similar with PS controller.
Can you tell me if you can play in emulators such as the PSP emulator?
Has anyone tried an original xbox wireless controller with the receiver connected to the usb (via adapter)? The receiver seems to has power,
but the controller wont connect. PS3 controller works though.
my xbox controller doesnt work, as others have said. so how would I go about getting a ps3 controller to work? is it a wired one and can i pick up any cheap ps3 controller?

The sixaxis app does recognize my ps3 controller (afaik there are only wireless with optional cable), but only with cable plugged in. Bluetooth does not work, though the controller
has the right master adress.
Ok the problem seems to be the pairing. If paired from the tablet, it wont work... if paired from the pc, it works.
see I know sod all about the ps3 pad, I dont even know what pairing on the PC means or how you would set it up...
Hello!
Did anyone connect SteelSeries Free controller to the Tab S? I'm thinking about getting one and I would like to make sure that it will work.
Trying to pair red samurai wireless tablet controller with my tab s
the bluetooth can see the device, but when i select it to pair the device with my tablet, it asks me to confirm the PIN code for the device, which is displayed when i select to pair. But it fails to pair every time because I don't see any dialog box or anything pop up to enter the PIN code to pair successfully.

red samurai controller (GameStop)
Using the red samurai controller with all playstore emulators works well but with a little lag between button press and action.
BTW GameStop has it for 8 bucks and the tab recognizes it via Bluetooth no problem

The PS3 controller is the best way to go for me...
I bought the red samurai for $8 also just to play emulators..
The controller paid with no problems and I was able to map all the keys but the lag from button press to In game action was unbareable
The PS3 was fussy to set up but it's more 1to1 responsive..

If you are using the red samurai v2 you do not need blue imz, it should just work.. or at least it does for me. I also have not noticed any input lag even vs a usb controller I was using over usb otg until I decided I wanted to be able to charge and use a controller at the same time. I have also used the same red samurai v2 on my win 8.1 htpc just for testinf and it paired right away and worked with near 0 input lag.
Im just using sixaxis controller

Just tried the mi gaming pad but tab s doesn't even recognised it... looks like a waste of money, to bad... my honor6 gsm paired directly without any problems! Damn you samsung!!!
---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------
Fixed it! I installed it on my tab s ? I installed bluetooth autoconnect and then bluetooth terminal which is in wears Polish or Russian or so but I used it to scan for connecting devices and it saw the device... then went to bluetooth settings in tab s and it stood there ready to pair with !!! Me happy !!!
For some odd reason my Bluetooth won't turn on anymore, so my controller is useless now.
I bought a xbox 360 gamepad to find out the device doesn't power it (and they won't even refund grrr). Could anyone who has a working WIRED controller share it's model? Just so I can buy one safely, knowing it'll work.
The Xbox gamepad stopped working with Lollipop for me. Used to work on Kitkat. So if you wanna go back...

I am on KitKat and it doesn't work already.
Odd. It used to work for me. Is this an MS original or a third party controller you're using. Also, this is a wired controller right? Not a wireless connected with a charger cable because that won't work.

An original MS controller for xbox 360. The 4 circle leds would just keep blinking together.
never ever worked on my 8.4 tab s, wired proper 360 controller.
such a shame as there are some good games like raiden as well as the emu stuff.

I'm not talking specifically about 360 controllers though. I'm asking if there's ANY wired controller that is known to work with this tablet. ANY brand.
Before I got my wireless bluetooth controller I was using a Game Elements Recoil model GGE909 over a dirt cheep usb otg adaptor. I never could get my usb Xbox controller to work so I just fell back on an old cheep usb one I had and it worked great aside from taking up a usb port. My galaxy tab s is the 8.4 wifi model so I can't guarantee it will work but it probably should with your 10.5.
360 Controller never worked, if you get a powered OTG adaptor it might work. Lots of people talk about the MOGA controllers as bluetooth controllers that work well.

For usb controllers and usb otg I tend to find the ones that don't need special drivers or programs to run on windows tend to work the best.
The bluetooth controller I got is the gamestop red samurai v2. Nice layout, good buttons and triggers(not analouge though), well placed analouge sticks for the few android apps that support those, and great compatability. Overall I really like it and best of all gamestop is getting rid of tablet accessories so they are dirt cheep.

ah I assume thats over in the US and not available here in the UK :*(
how much is dirt cheap as I do have some friends over there and if its that cheap, might be worth having one sent.
I picked up my near console (unlike the ouya) grade controller for $7.97 U.S. No clue what they cost online, but most of the gamestops that still have tablet accessories are selling those accessories cheaply to reduce inventory that the company is moving away from.
Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge controller found without root......
For all those people who are having a hard time finding a working controller for tge Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge..
I have a bunch of 3rd Party controllers laying around the house, one was a PC XBOX shaped controller made for lower grade games and that didn't seemed to work, tried the cord with PS3 controller and was not successful pulled pulled out PS4 Controller as I have read Previous threads they didn't seem to work and wanted to see for myself, then I tried the Xbox 360 controller and that didn't work after all, I haven't tried an Xbox one controller yet but will do when I get my hands on one......
Then I remembered there was a Logitech Wireless controller somewhere, I was looking all over the place for it......
Then my Dad came out with it and he said he was waiting for the right time to tell me, he knew where it was and was trying to find some leverage over me, I finally got it stuck it in my Samsung OTG and vwalah it bloody works, but only with some games.
Controller name: Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710
Supported Games:
Minecraft
Modern Combat
Neon Shadow
Will add more in the future or if someone has this controller they could add supported games and I'll give them a try.
you talking about wireless controllers? because the wired xbox one controller is working fine here with moonlight gamestream. didn't try it with mobile games tho.
I use a Moga controller in HID mode. I like it for my lego games.
