I bought one of these for my son for christmas. Dont laugh at it being coby. It is probably the best built product they have ever made. (i know not saying much but still its pretty damn solid). My question is i would like to install snesoid on it so he can play his games. But i would like to be able to use a controller to make it easier to play for him. Would the power A controller work. I know the coby will read a usb keyboard, but dont know if the powera controller acts as a usb keyboard. Any thoughts. I would post a link to the controller but not allowed yet. If you go to power A . c o m its the one under ps3 that has the slide out keyboard. Thanks!!!
Partly answered my own question in the last couple of days. Installed snesoid and it runs very well. Hooked up a keyboard and was able to map the keys, so lack of multitouch is no longer a problem in the games. Can anyone confirm a usb controller working with this or is it only a keyboard. Buying one today but if someone knew that a paticuler brand worked well it would help me thanks!!
How i transfer these games off so that i can add them to my Samsung Galaxy Tab? paid $299 for the Asus Transformer.
Root and then you can extract the apks.
yup it's rooted. how do i extract the apk's exactly? where are they located?
Get a root file explorer or even astro file explorer. Not exactly sure which folders you gotta look in. Time to snoop around your files to find them
If you use Astro, just use the Tools>Applications backup>choose the apps to backup and when done you can find it in the backup>app folder.
If using Root Explorer look in data/app for applications that is download from market or sideloaded
Astro makes ir real simple, no hunting for files... Easy peazy lemon squeezy

Curious about the tablets from GameStop. I ordered a transformer prime. Are they new? Or have they been opened in order to "pre load" the free games?

I'm really curious about their wireless gaming controllers. They said they can work with the tablets they sell. I asked if I bought a transformer new elsewhere if the controller would work with it. They told me it would work. The wireless controller is $99 if you buy it seperate. I think $40 if you buy it with the tablet. That is contract evils at it's best. I'm really jealous of the gamestop ones because they have dead space (can't find on android app store), sonic CD, and some others. But it's really the game controller support i am after. I love riptide GP but I think it would be SOOOO much better with the wireless controller. If I get a tranformer prime I might get it at gamestop.
I think gamestop is going in the right direction. I bet once they get their cloud gaming going there android tablets will have them.

FYI, This app is bar far the easiest way I have come across to grab an apk from one device for installation on another:
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS55c2NoaS5NeUFwcFNoYXJlciJd
You just open the app, search for the apk you want by name or scroll through the list of apps, and then you can email it or dropbox it to yourself. Every once in a while there is an app that can't be located in /data/app. I am always able to extract the apk for those apps with Myappsharer.

Well.. if it's any indication.. mine LOOKED new. all the seals were there and not broken. They probably have a deal with Asus to have them loaded with the games from the factory.

It is just a Bluetooth controller. Thats how all wireless controllers work. And IMO, your best off to go with a Playstation DualShock3 controller and getting it to work with your tablet.
Every other controller I've owned pails compared to the responsiveness and quality of a good console controller. Perhaps their $99 controller is high quality too, but you can pick up a PS3 DS3 controller for $29 new. I picked up a white DS3 for $29 from Gamestop not too long ago. Beware they sell new and used controllers for the same price (I bought it new).
It really works fantastic. Honeycomb 3.2 has native support for gamepads, so most of the buttons work out of the box. I mostly use it for emulators with key mappings.
Perhaps someone with a Gamestop TF can provide a NVBackup of their stock rom.
I personally use the WiiRemote; cheap, fast and pain free. Most emulation I play works JUST FINE with it (the .emu series).
I do have a question for player911 though ...
I bought the Six Axis app and went through the rather grueling process of changing the blue tooth sync ID, etc.
Are you using the PS3 controller wired, via the Extension Kit? Or are you doing the whole routine like I am with the wireless? Or wired via the dock's USB?

find in /system/app/ then post here your files and see whether it is locked to that rom or it is universal.

I also asked this question and couldn't find much of a response but i do remember i went into the settings and then into accounts to see it was already pre-synced to something but i don't remember what that was but i assume it has something to do with getting the games on your device

Thank you I actually did realize this after posting. I thought, "Why not?" and I plugged my PS3 controller into the dock. It wasn't working even on as I was in Cordy. I figured, "Oh well I guess I need custom kernels or some kind of root app". I randomly decided to push and hold the home button a few times and I was making cordy jump and move. The first thing that came to my mind was "HOLY CRAP!". Well the edited word that came to my mind anyways...
I went to Riptide GP and found it wasn't working. I went to the dual control settings and I was able to control it with my PS3 controller. IT WAS AMAZING. Riptide GP is amazing by itself but with the controller holy crapy. I raised the graphics to maximum level and it looked like a Xbox (not 360) game. The graphics and effects are incredible and the precise control is unrivaled. I tried some other games though and they did not really work. I think that the Tegra 2 or Tablet Games work best. Any games that were just stretched on screen had almost no control support at all. I am not sure what other games support controllers but I want to find out. If they ever get Dead Space on Android (without buying it from gamestop) I hope that supports it as well.
...Well the controller is one thing. But I also really want Sonic CD. I love Sonic and I am still coming off of the high from Sonic Generations. Sonic CD is a game I never beat either but enjoyed playing it on a friends computer when I was younger. I think there are a few other games that the gamestop tablet comes with that are not on the android market. It actually seems like google removed ALOT of games and apps on the android market for the tablets and some it seems off the market in general. There is only two gameloft games on there for the tablet as well...
I wasn't really ever for gaming on android but now that I see how amazing it can work I am all for it. I'm all for a UMVC3 port on Android Tegra 3! I think there is a PS3 wireless app too that works on rooted androids. I am going to look into that soon. I was excited about the Wii-mote way but I am not crazy about the classic controller nunchuck wired shell. Love the design but not the wired aspect to the wii-mote. Yeah I agree I would love for someone to upload the apps that came on the gamestop tablet. I've already started looking but haven't found any online yet.

I recommend to anyone who has the tablet to back up the games using asus back up or whatever back up you use and putting it on your computer. I've already read a few stories of how some flashes caused the apps to disappear and they haven't found a way to recover them. I am not sure if google will back them up. The Asus Backup might. If all else fails try that app that someone posted the link to and put it on your computer for safe keeping. Using CMW and backing up the device might help as well.

This strikes me as interesting... If the games were preloaded, then presumably Asus would also need to supply customized versions of FOTA updates for GameStop customers. I'd be surprised if that were the case for a sunsetted, heavily-discounted product, though.
using the honeycomb launcher click on the downloaded apps taband see if the games are there , if they are that means it is in data partition

Just use mybackup or mybackup root. Backup all your apps, or just the ones you want to copy, then use the normal file explorer to go to rerware/backups/allappbackups/(todaysdate)/apps then copy the apks.
This is how I transferred deadspace to my non-gamestop transformer
i bought 2 asus pads from gamestop here in san diego and neither of them had any of the games preloaded

hi guys,
im pretty new to the android os so please excuse my lack of knowledge in this area, but i recently bought the Sanei N10 pretty cheap and its not a bad tablet, battery life is an issue, and so is using the web browser, but other than that, i was prettty suprised with it, considering the cost.
anyway, in the 3 days, ive had it, i learnt that you can pair a Original PS3 controller with it and use it with emulators, and that you need the tablet to be rooted in order to do so. So i downloaded the upgrade to 4.0.4 and made sure it was pre rooted. i download the root checker also to double check. and it is rooted. ive downloaded the sixaxis compatibility checker, and it said my device was good to go, so i downloaded the app on the tablet, and also the tool kit off the website. ive followed the instructions, changed the controllers master bt to match the one in the app. and my controller connects then loses connection. it says my controller is a fake or third party, I know my controller is genuine, cos i modify controllers and have pulled this one apart, plus it also came with the playstation.
what am i doing wrong, or is this tablet not compatible with the controller?
id really appreciate your help on this one guys....
Thanks
I'm going to want to run Robert Broglia's emulators, Netflix, Plex for Plexpass, and other typical things. I own a Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. I want stock android with no lag, and I want every game I play on Broglia's emulators to run flawlessly (pretty much run like they would on my Nexus 7). I'm going to be using a wireless keyboard + trackpad with it, along with a PS3 controller. Therefore I'd need to be able to plug USB devices into it, and it would need to have bluetooth.
My Ouya console is a kickstarter edition with an extra controller, if I could sell that and get an android stick that's upgrade able to latest android and would last for pretty much ever I'd be super super happy. What do you recommend?
Hello, My shield got stolen before Christmas so I went out and got the new shield tablet this time.
On the tablet it don't have the stock controller emulator like the handheld one does.
So I want to see if I could put the stock controller emulator from the handheld one to my tablet and see if it would work.
Was hoping if someone new the name of it so I could hunt it down and try it.
Also if anyone know a good controller emulator that might work that would also be great.
I just ran across and downloaded Game Controller 2 Touch yesterday. So far I'm liking it the best of the few different ones I've tried.
