A copy and paste of the what I posted on the Fpse forum since I thought people here might be interested.
I have an Asus Transformer, and a wireless PS3 controller via Sixaxis Controller app
After fiddling with Fpse for a couple of hours, here is my impression:
Menus are very buggy:
Most settings have trouble saving - took me 3 try tries to get Country - Europe to save, other settings are hit and miss
Controller input settings never save - Every time I load Fpse I have to re-input the controller settings under "Hardware keys"
- Please fix this!!!!
Controls are OK:
Once the controls are mapped, they work pretty much as expected
No analog emulation for digital keys = I can't play ape escape with my wireless PS3 controller, bummer.
Definitely needs analog emulation for digital key presses
I might be able to find a work around for the analog with Sixaxis Controller app, not sure. Still getting used to the app
Audio - Sometime great, sometimes not so great
The audio appears tied into the frame rate - if Frameskip is on, it also appears to skip the audio, resulting in choppy audio
When games run at full frame rate, the audio is pretty good.
Games seem to work just fine
Games appear to be working just as they should, nothing spectacular, nothing bad, which is a very good thing.
Performance seems a little slow, but that could be the Transformer not having enough CPU power, or Fpse.
This post may not seem negative, but it is really not. Any problems I didn't experience means they are not there, which means a lot of things work great. It's hard to find things that are working correctly, because if they are working correctly, you should never notice they are there. I also know this is a relatively new app, and Android is a new operating system. It takes time to get things to work correctly.
I am very satisfied with Fpse. But getting the menu to save the controller settings and adding analog emulation would go a long way to making even more satisfied and telling more people about Fpse (hint, hint). A playstation emulator without a proper control setup kills the fun outright.
I installed CM7 nightly 25 for my SGSII and installed the sixasis app, configured just fine with FPse and worked everytime I started it up again, remembered just fine.
Didn't test analog though.
I configured the control and then saved it as default under settings.
If you load a game that already has a config or save you need to re-enter the controls and save again as default, this will be for that game then...
after that it works fine
Hi ...
I was trying to use the sixasis, and I could use it fine on the phone...
The problem is that I cannot use it with FPse...
Anyone can help me about how to set it ?
Thanks
What specifically are you having problems with?
1) Connect the PS3 controller via sixaxis controller app
2) Configure the PS3 controller buttons in sixaxis, i.e. what keyboard button you want each PS3 button to emulate
3) Disconnect and reconnect to Sixaxis controller app
4) Open FPse and load a game
5) Configure the controls in FPse to use the PS3, Remember sixaxis controller app makes the PS3 controller emulate keyboard buttons, so configure key bindings
6) In FPse, under system, click save default settings. If you don't do this you have to rebind the PS3 controller keys every time you start FPse
7) Play game

That's the problem ...
I can use the controller in all other operations on the phone, but I'm not able to configure correctly the sixaxis for the FPse ...

Same issue here Were you able to get it working? If so please send link. I'm still searching for a solution.
Both work great for me on tf. There were recent issues if you were using the opengl plugin and tried to bind keys, but the newest update fixed it.

Which specific ps3 wireless controller do you guys recommend?
anyone figure it out?
Has anyone tested a bluetooth gamepad with the Infinity yet, they they would recommend? Maybe the Phonejoy, or...?
I assume I want bluetooth so I can use it without having to have the dock or a USB adapter connected, but I'm not sure if there are any drawbacks to bluetooth over wired/or wireless USB. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I use the sixaxis tool which requires root but I got my dualshock 3 paired and working in no time.
I hope it works right with the Wii Classic Controller, that's all I have until I get the dock and can plugin an Xbox controller (I wonder if the wireless adapter works?). The Classic controller usually works great on my phone.
Xbox Wireless Controller works with Shadowgun, Riptide, GTA and Death Trigger.
Just plug-in the wireless receiver into the dock, and push the xbox symbol on the controller.
After a while, the blinking changes, and you can use the controller.
Badly, it doesn't stop blinking alike when you connect it to a PC or an Xbox.
I also was able to connect PS3 controllers to the Infinity via sixaxis, the controller also worked with all the games i wrote î.
Unfortunately PS3 gamepad doesnt work via bluetooth. It works with TF300 though. I thought the same method of attaching via USB syncing with it and removing cable would work. I see PS3 controller in bluetooth paired devices in TF300, not in TF700.

PS3 Controller will work with root plus utils
I was able to get a PS3 DualShock controller to work via Bluetooth with my TF700T + dock and root.
I plugged the controller into the USB port and then used PS3 Controller Pairing Tool to set the Bluetooth MAC address and then start up Sixaxis Controller app (requires root) to get the bluetooth link working.

Yes, I know that. I used that config with my old Samsung 10.1, but I don't want to root TF700. With TF300 it works out of the box. Same company, 2 tablets with so similar specs, and what works in a recent model does not in a newer one. Hard to understand.

I have been using the Onlive Universal Wireless Controller. It is a really sold piece of hardware and works with most bluetooth devices. For some tabs though it will be detected incorrectly and leave you spinning around uncontrollably in games by default. However I found this fix on an Onlive forum which has worked perfectly for me. You will need root access in order to perform the fix.
"su
cd /system/usr/keylayout/
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl Vendor_2378_Product_100a.kl
exit
exit"
Enjoy!
Received a PhoneJoy today. Haven't played much yet, but pretty much unusable with Bluez.
Bought and installed USB/BT Joystick Center which makes wonders.
Currently I have a setup for shadowgun and fantasy drive.
I would LOVE to know if there is any site/forum that has user exports to download, so I could import it in the Joystick Center app for my phonejoy and specific game?
There is some work to be done initially as it seems, but had 0 problems after setting things up.
Currently I have some 20 games, not all are playable with gamepad, but still around 10-15 games for which i will have to find imports or i'll have to go through a hassle myself.
If anyone else has PhoneJoy maybe we can start Export/Import sharing here on this forum (new thread)
Anyone?
I've been through a bunch of controllers, and I really prefer the PS3 controller over the phone joy, onlive, etc. I was turned off in the beginning due to people continuously mentioning the sixaxis app, but after getting it set up, it really works well and it just adds one step before gaming.
I'll make it simple.
First Time Setup
===============================================================
1. You get the application from Play.
2. Run it.
3. Hit the start button in the app.
4. Connect controller via USB cable. (you need it anyway to charge the controller)
5. Hit Pair then hit OK button
6. Unplug the controller
7. Hit the PS3 Button on the controller
8. Wait ~10 seconds.
9. Paired and Done! Now you can game.
Each Time You Want to Game
================================================================
1. Start Sixaxis App
2. Press Start in App
3. Press PS3 button on Controller
4. Wait ~10 seconds.
5. Game!
The above "each time you want to game" takes 15 seconds of your life to use a quality controller, so its REALLY not a big deal.
Just, don't buy PS3 controllers from ebay =) You have been warned!
I'm using ps3 controller over Bluetooth with six axis tool. Go to there official site for instructions.

You missed the very first step; use six axis pair tool to change Bluetooth address on ps3 controller to that of your tablets address.

No need to use the PC tool, I paired it successfully just plugging the DualShock 3 into the dock. The app then found the MAC address and I could pair it.

Are we requiring root for the above processes to work with Sixaxis? I really don't want to root my Infinity, because I don't see the need to. But I also want a controller that will work well. I wonder when Ouya releases there system, if there controller will work universally across android devices.
I didn't want to get an Ouya system though, because of there refusal to leave the standard android market on it, and refusal to support existing games. All games have to be purchased through there own app market.
Has anyone connected 2 controllers at once? One via BT and the other usb?

I just pre-ordered the Nyko Playpad Pro from Gamestop,
FYI: As per Nyko, Gamestop will be the exclusive distributor for the Playpad Pro until February 2013.
Amazon has preorders on the Playpad and Playpad Pro but the Pro is not available until February 2013 as stated by Nyko. Bummer, I would have preferred to order almost anywhere other than Gamestop since their return policy stinks compared to most others. But I did not want to wait until February either....
Anyone else going for the Playpad or Playpad Pro?
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.

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.

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.

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!

I realize that the question is a little "convoluted" and hope to be in the right section.
I have an old tablet Acer Iconia tab a100 I wanted to connect to my TV via HDMI and to whom I wanted to connect a joypad to play.
However, the very old Acer does not have OTG and I do not have an Bluetooth controller (I have a Logitech dual action, a PS2 pad with USB adapter and wireless xbox360 controller with the adapter).
Now I tried to use my s3neo as pad through the app BT controller, but not everything works with all apps and still is inconvenient because I have not the sensitivity of the controller (in the sense I do not see what I touch when I watch TV) .
I floated the idea of linking one of my pad via OTG all'S3neo and use it as a "bridge" for the tablet via Bluetooth (I do not have wi fi).
I try with 360 pads but does not work (not pairing while on pc work and do not understand why)
The Logitech Dual Action is recognized, however, creates a problem: Some keys are associated with functions that can not be removed (for example by pressing the appropriate button of the triangle comes to my home and is therefore not usable in game)
The ps2 pad is however recognized the right analog is completely busted.
I tried with tincore keymapper but I have serious difficulties.
Thanks in advance!
I bought Amazon Fire HD8(2018), I thought I can use it as a budget option for emulator gaming or native gaming.
Everything works fine software wise, but I can't properly connect it with gamepads.
Here are my gamepads:
Steam Controller x2 - it only works in the Steam Link App, and become mouse outside the app.
Dual Shock 4 (gen1) x1 - it can pair and show as "wireless controller" in setting, but just completely not sending any control signal to Android. (googled it, someone said gen1 is not supported by Android, but also many posts say DS4 is usable before gen2 even came out, so I really can't understand why this is not working)
Switch Pro Controller x2 - it can pair, Android do receive its signal, but it has huge input lag and intermittently signal, this is a common issue online, and I can't find a solution so far.
So, that's already 3 kinds of popular controllers I have tried and I don't have other controllers (5 are already a bit too much for me).
Is there anything I can try to make those controllers work? maybe I can install a driver or something?
If there is really no solution for controllers I already have, what's the budget/working/wireless gamepad that recommended to buy for my HD8?
Thanks.
With older versions of Android, it's hard to make gamepads work. There's not much you can do about that. You can try Android-specific Bluetooth gamepads. 8BitDo and Gamesir controllers apparently work well. Moga ones might, too.
@sky1331, have you tried a micro usb OTG adapter yet? It may expand your available options by allowing you to use your controllers wired (albeit at the cost of not being able to charge your tablet while playing).

I have tried a micro USB OTG cable. It doesn't work. I tried with two different controllers and both produced the same result.
XBox One controller model 1697: I first tried the OTG adapter without external power to the HD8 (2018) through the OTG adapter. The controller vibrated and the home light turned on. Then the tablet rebooted without warning. I assumed that the controller was drawing power from the tablet so I also plugged in the power cord for the tablet to the OTG adapter and tried again. Same result. Vibrates, lights up, tablet reboots. If you leave the controller plugged in while it boots, it will bootloop.
Dual Shock 3 model CECHZC2U: Downloaded Sixaxis Compatibility Checker. Method 5 for drivers worked, so I purchased the Sixaxis app. I plugged the controller into my laptop and reassigned the MAC address to my tablets Bluetooth MAC address. Then I clicked "Pair" on the Sixaxis app and waited until I saw "Looking for controller" like I'm supposed to. Then I unplugged the controller from my laptop and pressed the home button. 4 flashing lights that just keep flashing. And flashing. And flashing. Until they all go out like the controller timed out. Damn. So I plugged in the OTG adapter again and plugged the controller into the tablet. It didn't reboot and the 1st light lit up like it was assigned the player 1 spot. So I unplugged it. Immediately all 4 lights started flashing again until it timed out. So I plugged it back into the tablet and got the 1st light again. Then I fired up every app I know of that supports external controllers. Not a single one could detect the controller. Nor could I control Android like I normally can with my spare Moto Z Force with the Moto Gamepad mod. So, no input is being detected at all.
I don't have any other controllers to test, but my guess is that a generic Bluetooth controller might work, but none of the major controllers seem to work so don't get your hopes up. I will also say that I know it's not a problem with the tablet or OTG cable. Both work great when I plug a flash drive into the OTG cable while hooked up to the tablet. The drive shows up just fine.
Edit: I bought a Playstation Classic. I don't have a need for a second controller for it and it comes with 2 so I thought I'd try the extra on the Fire HD 8 2018. It works great using an OTG cable. ePSXe detected it straight away and I can control Android with the controller perfectly fine. Retroarch sees it. So, I've found a solution that meets my needs. I'd have preferred wireless, but I really didnt want to purchase a whole controller for a device I'm not intending to lose or break in 6-9 months but will realistically happen within that timeframe.
It's working, I using the GEN Game Bluetooth Gamepad, it's working.
I'm having the same problem with my Kindle Fire 10 HD 7th gen tablet. I bought a IPEGA PG-9023 Telescopic Wireless Bluetooth Game Controller. It's detected, but it just won't connect. Works fine with the Amazon Firestick 4K. The only difference is that the Firestick uses Bluetooth 5.0 + LE and the Kindle 10" Tablet uses Bluetooth 4.1 + LE which the IPEGA gamepad is supposed to support. I have no idea whatsoever why it won't connect.
