[Q] A question about multiplayer using two controllers - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a quick question. The tablet is supposed to connect to up to four controllers. I bought two to play 2-players games from the GRID. I tried Street Fighter Tekken but the tablet sees both controllers as one. They both control player 1 only and there is no player 2 at all.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that or perhaps something that I can do?
Also, are there any good games whether Android or GRID that I can play with two controllers?
Any answer would be much appreciated, thanks...

I'm sorry. I gave the tablet to someone and I don't have it under my hands any more. Wish I could help...

Have you tried BombSquad (Android)?
From what I've read in the nvidia forums, the multi-controller support only works with Android native games (i.e. no Gamestream or Grid support).

Trine 2 that comes with the tablet support multiple controls. Beach buggy racing works great for local multiplayer. Supports up to 4 players. You need an in-game purchase to enable that though but it is totally worth it.
There should be a few more native Android games that support local multiplayer such as Gun Slugs by Orange Pixel (have not tried it yet)...
Most emulators support multiple controls as well. Such as Mupen64 Plus AE (the only one I have tried so far).
Guerilla Bob THD should also work according to game description on Google Play.

Sorry but i forgot to add this. Read through this link i think what your looking for is in here!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1054219.html
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:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/22/xbounds-adds-hdmi-mirroring-to-android-phones-lets-you-kill-th/
??? two player ???
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!

2 players console

Hi,
I am thinking of buying a Shield but i have a question regarding the console mode.
Lets say I have fifa or some other game installed on the shield and i would like to play 2 players while in console mode or other wise?
Thanks
When the game supports it, you can use multiple bluetooth controllers in console mode. I would assume this works in Gamestream as well... but I haven't tried it yet to be honest.

I was actually just coming to ask a similar question. now as a second part to the OP is there a list of games out there somewhere that support console mode for multiple players on the shield?

Multiple controllers registering as single controller

Hello, everyone! I purchased a 16GB, Wi-Fi Shield Tablet right before the LTE version game out. My main purpose is GameStream to my TV via USB OTG (Y-Cable, Ethernet + power).
I also bought two Shield Controllers so myself and my girlfriend could both play games at the same time. Some games I have show up in the native GameStream menu, some I open via Steam, but regardless, they support multiplayer.
Examples: Mortal Kombat, Injustice, Spulenky, etc.
However, whenever I try to play a game that supports multiplayer and register one controller to Player 1, when I try to register the second controller, it also controls Player 1 and won't show up as a completely independent, second controller.
What can I do to alleviate this? As silly as it sounds, I bought this whole setup to teach the girlfriend the way of gaming (at her request, too!), so not being able to play anything multiplayer on GameStream is a bit of a letdown.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks so much!
I experienced this a long time ago and I asked this on Google+ and no-one knew what to do. They said I should call nvidia, but I never did...
Sheds a little bit of light on the matter. I do hope they figure it out, though.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but has this been adressed? I just bought a 2nd controller last night, and nothing works 2 players. Even JuJu, a Shield title doesn't register that a 2nd controller is there.
EDIT: i actually just figured it out!! it was the USB dongle for my google tv keyboard. removed it, and both controllers work now in game. found this in another thread
https://forums.geforce.com/default/...iple-shield-controllers/post/4707300/#4707300
Was having all the same problems until i found this absolute GEM of a program. It fixed everything for me. Just make sure you have your controllers ON, and then start up the moonlight app. Literally every single game works now as intended. For the record, I'm using 4 XBOX360 wireless controllers with the official Microsoft wireless dongle attached to my Shield

[Q] how to disable Archos Gamepad 2 Controller

I've got an Archos Gamepad 2 ... Got a problem with some games as they auto find and configure on the controller's buttons (asphalt 8 and Impulsion)
Asphalt mapping is cool, but impulsion doesn't show the on screen controls so that i can re-map them and the only pre-mapped working control is the left analog for movement... no shoot/slash control mapped by default ...
Is there a way to disable the built in controller ??? or a tool to fake the games that there is no controller attached
And if there is a way to disable the controller will the on screen controls appear
this seems to be a common issue with android devices that has built in controller (Xperia Play - Archos Gamepad 2 - jxd s7800b)
Thanks in advance
game list update
Asphalt 8 airborne
Impulsion
Neon Shadow
Shadowgun
Modern Combat 4
same issue
Sorry to revive this thread but I have the same question as the op and I have the same problem with the game Implosion in my archos gamepad 2, any solutions? op did you find an answer?
The same happens with the amazing spiderman 2 game, please any solutions guys?
Have the same problem again in the lego game complete saga for android, please help. I hate when games don't give you the option to enable touch screen controls even if it detects a gamepad.
Hey I rooted my device, any way to alter the games files so that they don't detect the archos gamepad 2 as an external controller?
so no one dev knows?
Tried Tincore Keymapper to simulate other external controllers, but the game implosion still does not work, so how do these games detect the archos gamepad input?
Implosion was updated recently, I think they tried to add support for the archos gamepad 2 because the tutorial screen now shows controller buttons but the game still has the same issue, only the left stick works, maybe it is because the archos built in controller is 2 different devices, the buttons are joy_key and the sticks are joystick.
I am root, any files I can delete to disable the built in controller?
Bump still no solution any ideas?
its no use ... ditch it
@Talos91 ... seems nobody is interested ... i really regret the tablet now ... anyways its ditched somewhere in my backpack and every now and then i recharge it when i need it, some casual touch games are on it ... its jelly beans and CANNOT be updated to any new version ... guess thats it for Archos gamepad2 ... or maybe for Archos itself ... not gonna buy any of their products again ... doesnt worth it
Sorry to hear that but the tablet is still great for emulators, they work great like retroarch, drastic, epsxe and ppsspp. Also some fire tv games work on the archos like shovel knight and not to mention the good android games with no iaps work great too like ittle dew and wayward souls.
In sys/devices/platform/joystick are the files of the analog input, maybe if you erase those file implosion could work.
You can not delete or rename those files even with root for some reason.

Anyone else with a archos gamepad 2
Is there any way to disable system input devices?
Any help? Is there any way to merge the two input devices into one? Merge the "joystick" and "joy_key"
