Here's the thing, I can't seem to find an answer to this question anywhere on the web. I'd like to be able to play two player games using the Nvidia Shield as controller one and my Bluetooth controller as player two. Currently I'm using the Nyko Playpad Pro and I'm running Mame4droid 1.6. I went through all the setups in the emulator settings, But when connected both the Shield and the Bluetooth controller are recognized as player one and are mirrored. I can't seem to force the Playpad controller into the #2 position on the top, and i'm also trying to avoid buying a second controller as the one on the Shield works much better than the Playpad. I'm only using the Playpad for player two. Anyone know if there's a work around or fix for this?

May Flash N64 Controller Adapter for PC USB - Works, using it alongside my Mupen64 Emulator
The NP works with Bravia sync and the Sony tv remote. You can navigate with the arrows, play, pause etc. I figured this out by accident.

Xbox 360 Wireless controller: works with the official wireless PC adapter. I've tested 4 controllers. Button mappings aren't the same as Bluetooth HID. R/L bumpers act as the R/L triggers. R/L triggers act as the X/Y axis of the right analog stick (mouse simulation). Other discrepancies.
Nexus Player Gamepad - Not perfect either. Uses standard Bluetooh HID mappings, but lacks a proper start/select button. Does not work properly with Soul Calibur.

Nyko Playpad Pro works perfectly, got 2 of them for $12 at gamestop:
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/nyko-play-pad-pro-tablet-controller/104098
Another Controller...
Two things to add to the list of things that work....
* The Gamestop Red Samurai. It is listed on their site as "Tablet Wireless Game Controller V2", here: http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-game-controller-v2/104425 I like it because it is $12 and has a rechargeable battery. I have a pair of these. I have only had issues in one game, but I have not tried too many of the games with this controller. Warning, when I went into the store, the two employees there had no idea what I was talking about, I brought up the web page, showed them the product and that they had it. I have been to two game stops that had it, and it is always in the back room, very odd...
For Remote:
* Logitech Harmony Smart Control. This is the fairly current one, it has a little black WiFi enabled emitter and a simple remote. I was able to get it to talk with my Nexus Player and I can do everything that I can do on the regular remote. Works great.

I believe the high-end Harmony (ultimate?) can also connect via bluetooth and registers as a bluetooth keyboard, which is pretty sweet.

harmony smart and harmony ultimate
both use the exact same hub
just different remote
all communication is done at the hub
the smart is working for me (with a workarround tutorial posted in the harmony forum)
(basically you add a windows pc and tell it you have a bluetooth keyboard, then map the keys in the activity)

I had to clear it's state. Power it on. Then press and hold the select button for 3 seconds. Then after that click the NES30 option on the nexus player to pair the device. It should work after that.
Ok I tried that last night and it would pair but then unpair a minute or 2 later. It would work and then I could load up a rom. However, 1 minute into the game it would unpair. It is a brand new controller.

I haven't noticed it disconnecting. I'll use it for a longer period and let you know my results.

I'm having a couple of issues with the button mapping. My play/pause aren't fulling working. How did you set this up? Did you pick Windows PC or what bluetooth device did you assign the controller for?
Thanks

only one i cant seem to map is the letter (C)
as you need that in xbmc for contect menu to schedule a recording or delete one
OUYA Controller
went out and bought an ouya controller based on this thread
the description of it working with some games as exceptions is a bit misleading
its very flaky, disconnects frequently, sends incorrect button presses randomly, and just stops sending commands out of no where. as an example the trigger is used for gas in a car game, every 5-10 seconds you need to release and pull again or the car stopps as the trigger acts like its not connected.
now before you blame the ouya controller or the batteries
i have connected it to my nexus 72013, my nexus 5, my nexus 7 and my nexus 4
it works perfectly on all of them
and the nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013 are on lolipop 5.0
so the issue is with the nexus player rom
my nexus player itsself is not defective
all other bt devices (remote, keyboard, mouse) work fine without disconnect
to anyone thinking of buying an ouya controller based on this thread
dont waste your money
just wait for the asus controller to arrive
(too bad they dont sell them in stores, i hate online orders always 2-3 weeks to arrive)
Also the "measy rc11 air mouse" works very well (I have one that I used on a mini PC mk808)
Hey,
i hope someone can help me with this Problem.
I want to play some games on my S6 using my Dualshock 4 controller. But there are some issue.
When i pair my controller usingthe built in Bluetooth, then the controller works just fine for like 15s, then all inputs become really delayed (delay ~2s), assumed an input is even recognized. If i toggle the Bluetooth off and on, pair the controller again, then same thing: 15s ok, then horrible lag.
It seems like, that the Bluetooth goes into some power saving mode, but i dont know it.
I tried some of the recommended apps (sixaxis, bluez IME,...) but they just dont work with this New device or are just outdated for the DS4.
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
Same problem here
Same problem!!!
I'm experiencing huge input lag when trying to play games on my OnePlus One. First I had this problem with PS4 controller, then I bought controller specific for smartphones (8Bitdo FC30 Pro), and same problem again. Searching online I've noticed I'm not the only one and the problem is not phone, nor controller specific. Someone online somewhere, mentioned a fix with the app "Bluetooth auto connect". This fixes the problem with ps4 controller, but not with the FC30...
What could be the problem? And how to fix this problem?????
Phone:
Oneplus One
6.0.1
13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0
Controller:
8bitdo FC30 Pro
firmware v1.71 (latest)
BUMP
Anyone know how to get remote play working with an actual controller? DS4 natively or even touchscreen mapping?
I've gotten the remote play app to work with touchscreen controls, and I can pair my DS4 with the OP6, but the remote play app doesn't see it. I've also got a Moga pro, which I'd be happy to use as an alternative mapped to the touchscreen, but I don't seem to have luck there either.
Sixaxis app does not recognize Bluetooth paired DS4 or USB connected DS4.
Tincore key mapper does not recognize DS4 or Moga.
Remote play app does not recognize DS4, but maybe it won't without being Xperia phone.
I'm wondering if systemless root is not enough for touchscreen mapping.
Anyone have a combination that works on OP6?
Ggh

I'm in the same boat, but I use the app on my Nvidia Shield Tv.
Was just wondering: Did you manage to use any controller with the ps4 remote play app?
The best I could archive was to map button presses from a controller to touchscreen taps on the onscreen button overlay using apps Tasker and AutoInput.
Unfortunately the onscreen overlay disappears after short time when no input is sent and after that sending a tap/touch input doesn't work as it does not bring up the overlay anymore.
Apart from that, the overlay is annoying so I'd rather get rid of it completely...(I guess if we could connect a ds4 controller properly to the app the onscreen layout would disappear by default).
If there's no way around the overlay maybe there's a way to change the opacity of the layout to make it disappear.
