Hey
Is it possible to connect a Playstation 3 controller to a Android device via Bluetooth and play all the emulators like that?
If so, how?
Thanks.

Definitely not, unless someone comes out with a custom driver/app. the PS3 controller doesn't use a generic bluetooth protocol, it has it's own Sony one. To even get a ps3 controller to work over bluetooth on a PC requires both a custom application running on the PC as well as custom bluetooth drivers in order to allow your bluetooth adapter to talk to the PS3 controller. With the custom drivers loaded the ps3 controller is the only thing the bluetooth adapter will talk to.
Someone would have to do essentially the same thing for android: custom application as well as custom bluetooth drivers
Furthermore, to pair a PS3 controller to a computer or PS3 via bluetooth you must be able to connect it over USB first. You would need an Android device capable of USB host mode which are few and far between.
Has anyone tried any kind of bluetooth joystick with their Android device? Any recommendations?
The Wii mote works .. search the market for the app. Make sure your phone or rom supports HID

Why isn't it possible on Android?
It even works without extra applications on Maemo: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66704 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41693
At least Honeycomb 3.1 should be able to detect it or is there another problem?
Hi everyone. I really tried to do my due diligence on this before I posted. Everything I've read seems to indicate that ICS can pair PS3 controllers natively, with no need for the Sixaxis Android app, and no need for rooting. But I simply have no succeeded in doing so. I was trying with an older controller from the first generation of PS3s, and though that perhaps it was too old, so I went out and dropped $60 on a new official Sony Sixaxis Dual Shock 3, and I'm still have no luck. I have tried plugging the controller in by USB to the dock first, because some people seemed to indicate that that would help the two devices pair better. And while plugged in by USB, it works fine, I can map the buttons in emulators and use them with no problem. But when I unplug the control pad, hit the Sony button in the middle, and let the TF700 search for devices, it never finds my controller. It's found a Wiimote with no problem, but then of course it wants a pin, and that's its own problem. It's even found my Xperia Play on bluetooth, so I know it's not the bluetooth hardware. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Sixaxis obviously won't work since there's no root method. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I couldn't connect my ps3 controller to my galaxy nexus without sixaxis. With root and sixaxis it worked immediatly.

There is in fact a root method (look for debugfs, don't have the link handy), I use sixaxis and have my PS3 controller paired to my Infinity the day I got it.
I was able to use my PS3 Sixaxis controller on my TF101 with ICS (via bluetooth), but not on the TF700 for some reason.... It only seems to work while cabled (with the TF101, after using it for a minute as a "wired" controller, it automatically paired itself via bluetooth - after the first minute, you didn't need the cable anymore... Not sure why it doesn't work on the TF700. Strange...

It seems like (for whatever reason) Asus did not include the drivers for Ps3 controller in TF700. On my Prime and OG TF, it would automatically pair after using it once over USB. Not a big issues though as I had already purchased Sixxas app.
SixAxis app works great to connect the PS3 controller to the device, but it does *not* satisfy all requirements that the built-in drivers that other tablets and CM9 does. For example, I am an OnLive subscriber and the PS3 controller does not work whatsoever with SixAxis. However, I can plug it in via USB, or use a Xbox360 controller and they work great. This isn't a HUGE issue at the moment, but I did have dreams of having multiple Ps3 controllers and plugging the 700 in to my 60" on occasion. I have also found that when using the PS3 controller even with SixAxis' gamepad emulation, it often doesn't allow the right analog stick to function. At the moment, this is working much worse than on my TF101 w/ CM9 on it.

I wish I could run OnLive here in my country, because as far as I can tell, the app should behave exactly the same with OnLive when the 'Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Enable Gamepad' option is enabled. Evidently there are some differences that are causing issues. I'm not sure what problem you're having with the right analog stick, but you should ensure that you don't have any touch profiles enabled when in native gamepad mode, as they will override the gamepad inputs.
Can we expect Asus to resolve this (Bluetooth built-in connection) along with JB?

Don't get your hopes up.
About the only "viable" way I could see ASUS doing this would be if they made and marketed their OWN controller that could also be used with teh PS3 systems. But that would be still a limited market and would not be financially viable for them.
Well I thought I let you guys know pairing PS3 via the dock is working Idk if it's jellybean or clean room 2.3 feature but I have out working so far, check it out

Works also with stock JB.
Confirmed JB works
Just confirming that the JB update includes the drivers to use the SIXAXIS controller. I just got my TF700 and it wouldn't even detect the controller in ICS in the bluetooth menu, but it did respond when it was plugged in via USB.
Just updated to JB and plugged in the controller. As soon as I turned it on it added the controller to the paired devices list in the bluetooth menu and now it works flawlessly!
Cheers
I'm having a problem with my Moto G 4G LTE. I have an OTG adapter and it works perfectly fine for my keyboard, but I can't seem to get any controllers to function. I've tried XBox One and PS3 controllers. I need a wired connection to work in order to use Limelight effectively (game streaming from my PC) as Bluetooth messes with the wifi signal, severely impacting framerate. I've tried without any app, with USB/BT Joystick Center 2015, with Sixaxis Pair Tool, on stock 4.4.4 and on Cyanogenmod 11.
Has anyone successfully used a PS3 or XBox One controller over a wired connection on their Moto G (4g or otherwise)? Any tips on how to get it going?
PS: PS3 controllers work perfectly fine with the Sixaxis Tool over Bluetooth and wired with my PC and PS3, so I know it's not the controllers or the cables.
PPS: I'm now back at Stock with Decepticon kernel and still no luck.
PPPS: A Hori brand generic USB controller works totally fine, but it is extremely preferable to be able to use the controllers I already have.

Running stock and my Xbox 360 Wireless and Wired worked without issues.
Good to know, but that is not what I asked about. Im aware other controllers work, but these do not. They work flawlessly on other devices.
Hi all,
I have an ipega game controller (can't remember the model number) that used to work with my Nexus 6P. It's got issues connecting to my XZP though. It connects and works for a while but after that, there're no more inputs from the controller. The controller is still connected (via bluetooth) and shows up as an input device in the emulator (SNES9x Ex+) but it doesn't seem to be registering input. I've tried connecting my XBOX One controller to the XZP as well but it doesn't work. Is there something wrong with my set or is this Sony's doing?
EDIT: Turns out that after updating the phone with the July update, the controller works now. That's really weird but I assume something messed up with the previous one. This seems to be the only change I noticed with the phone that made it work. No matter how many times I restarted or paired/unpaired it wouldn't work.
My Xbox One v2 controller works fine via bluetooth and I use an app called Tincore Keymapper so I can use it in games.
Had a hard time finding an actually working app but Tincore Keymapper does the job amazingly.
Unless I totally misunderstood your post.

Ah. Mine doesn't connect through bluetooth. I have a USB C to Female A and I plugged it in through the cable. It used to work on my Nexus 6P. I'm wondering if it's because of the lack of drivers...
I'll go check out Tincore Keymapper though! Maybe that will help thank you!
Hello,
has anyone succesfully used the regular PS3 controller with the MM3?
I tried using my PS3 gamepad via bluetooth with this device (am on xiaomi.eu rom) like half a year ago, but no matter what I tried (regular bluetooth connection, setup via sixaxis controller app, pairing manually on my PC), nothing worked.
It worked perfectly with the MiMax2 on xiaomi.eu, what's wrong on this device?
