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] Controller App (Android to PC)

I was looking for an app that would emulate an XBOX 360 Controller on android and make it work via wifi to my PC.
It's like this apps of Mouse/Keyboard remote, so I could play away from PC, like laying on the bed. Is there an app like that?

Hello,
I never seen that kind of app.
How could an android (phone?) device replace a gamepad?
Or so, how could you use it?
To have an idea, test a snes emulator and you'll see that's not realy playable without true buttons/cross/sticks...
I would buy a wireless gamepad for computer or use a PS3 controller with a BT dongle.

The same way there's a WiFi Mouse & Keyboard app could be one WiFi Controller app.
I agree it's not as comfortable as a real gamepad but you get used to it. I have no problems playing games on ePSXe for example.

[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.

How 2 player NES emulator?

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

How to add a second PS4 controller to Z5?

Hi Guy's
I want to play co-ops games and i can't pair a second controller to my phone.
Please help me to add second controller to my Z5.
thx

You can't pair 2 bluetooth items at the same time as far as I'm aware. If you're playing on remote play for ps4 tho you don't need to pair the controller to the phone, you can leave it paired to the ps and use the phone as a screen only
