Sixaxis Controller is an Android application which allows the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 Playstation controllers to be used as bluetooth input devices on many mobile phones and tablets. This enables the ultimate gaming experience to be had in a completely portable form factor.
Up to four controllers are supported at once, and key mappings are completely configurable, as well as the analog sticks, which are currently emulated as digital key presses.

I could think of one game where the experience would be greater, medal of honor wich also uses the R/L 2 buttons wich I've maped to the volume button. Not so handy nor fast
It would have been the bomb if SE had made tv out or hdmi

It's great for other android users but I don't see myself getting my x10 out with a ds3 controller in public while waiting for my train or sitting my ride out haha.
Glad I got the play aswell
It's a nice app though
Defeats the purpose of mobile gaming though... Who is going to bring a controller out with them lmao. Mind as well play emulators on bigger monitor screen at home...

That could be the final idea.
Think about transmitting your screen to another via WLAN or whatever and then just grabbing the nearest controler - pairing - gaming extreme.

If I put it to my big screen, isn't the resolution too small to make it look good? It would be blurry wouldn't it?

As much as I love my Play as well would totally bring my ps3 w/ ds3 with me everywhere. I usually have a backpack at all times (Im weird like that) the controller is very light, kinda small and making an equally light-weight mount is fairly strait forward, and even if I never use it outside the house it's a very convenient portable N64 or PS1. And I have both of those too!
And there goes productivity...

No spinning here using an original wired 360 controller (yes, the exact one that came with my pre-ordered 360 back in 2005 lol)
Its kind of funny to mention though. I got spinning in Nova 2 the first time i tried to play it. Once I disabled sensor rotation, it was fine. Which reminds me, in 9mm, i recall a similar issue where the camera always wanted to look up no matter how i was holding the tab. Seems to be a common problem

There is a program for controllers avaliable in the market that gives tablets driver support for most popular controllers including the wireless xbox360 controller. Maybe that would solve the spinning problem, which I too encountered. If you do try it, please let us know the results. If I remember the name of the program I will post it.

Yeah you can use PS3/XBOX360. I think the game is pretty sweet. I'm still waiting for them to fix Nova 3 for the GS3. Otherwise I've been playing this, ME Infiltration, Homerun Battle 2, etc..
Have any of you gotten Dead Space to work? On mine it just exists after choosing difficulty.

So I'm getting just about 1% battery drop per minute of ANY (decent) game play. Is that about right? Seems like a LOT to me...
Also:
I agree Dead Trigger is a good game albeit a simple FPS. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like they super dumb down FPS's for phones because they're expecting it to be difficult to use the screen as a controller.
Maybe they do this rightfully so, but if you use a PS3 controller, suddenly all the FPS games are rudimentary and have no depth or challenge. (they all also run too slow when you have the ability to zoom around the screen with a joystick)
How the heck do you hook up an xbox controller?

OTG cable is all that you need, it allows the phone to work in USB host mode so you can connect just about any USB device to the phone
For maximum flexibility, I recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy which is an interface program for USB game controllers which allows you to map ANY usb controller to any key you want. I use this on my Kindle Fire for all the NES/SNES/Etc emulators. It should also work with the bluetooth based controllers. One thing that kind of sucks is that a lot of games are designed from the ground up for touch screen controllers so there is no provision to even change the input device

It's really not very difficult. To connect via bluetooth (which in my opinion is far superior to ugly and annoying wires) you will most likely need root.
I prefer the PS3 controller and this is the app I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.
A year ago, connecting a wiimote was like 'WOAH!' now, It's almost expected. This is nothing new, and I'm really confused at why there aren't third party controllers for phones. The first good controller (or PS3/xbox copy) could become a standard to which all games are modeled upon. Game makers could even charge like $30 for a big title game and send you a controller for your troubles.
Unfortunately, as altitude909 said above, most every game these days is made with the idea that you'll be using on-screen controls. So they either do some funny things to make it easier to use the screen which doesn't translate into a controller, or they dumb down the gameplay so that it's just too easy with a controller.
Mass Effect is probably the best game graphically and gameplay wise on the US version Galaxy S3 currently. No matter how hard I try, that game just cannot translate into a controller. Because the nature of Mass Effect being a third person life action but turn based shooter, they tried to incorporate that unique gameplay into a phone, which actually works well with on screen controls, but could be so much more enjoyable if you could use a controller. Problem is that the game requires the player to tap on enemies to aim, and also slide around to use various powers...
Can an otg cable and 360 controller work with games, like emulators, without having root?

I've been waiting for it to release in the US or a controller that is similar...
Still confused, as I thought that the 360 controller does not work via bluetooth and lacks a usb interface. Am I wrong? I've got the PS3 controller working via bluetooth no problem.
Can anyone recommend a good Bluetooth gamepad for the Nexus 7. I saw that the PS3 is supported, although I don't have a controller right now, and I think they are top end in terms of cost ?
I assume that you also need to download some software from Google Play to manage the gamepad, I dont think that Android has native support. I am aware of Sixasis controller, however is there are good free software instead ?
Also is root a mandatory requirement for the software to control the gamepad.
Cheers
I don't have any other advice for you, but I have to say I have a sixaxis controller and the program "sixaxis controller" from the play store. It works so well I haven't considered anything else. As for cost, check out local pawn shops for the controller might get one cheap. Playing dead trigger with the ps3 controller is much better than using the touch screen.
Sorry I didn't have any additional information. Also yes, root is required for sixaxis.
Agree, I bit the bullet and bought a ps3 dualshock3 sixaxis and the sixaxis app, well worth it.... Just becareful with the cheaper ones available on ebay as there are alot of fakes that don't work with sixaxis....
there's a good thread on here with some games already having profiles for them as well if you haven't already seen it:

I must figure out how to get MAME setup, I think that would be lots of fun with a PS3 controller and a Nexus 7 which is what I will buy. Thanks
One controller that I heard is good (although I havent tried first hand) is the icontrolpad ( http://www.icontrolpad.com ). Apparently they are bluetooth controllers so they will be able to work with the N7 or any device that has bluetooth capabilities. It is a pretty steep price to bite the bullet on though.
Thanks for the link. I noticed that the iControlPad says that it's compatible with many emulators.
Is the PS3 controler with sixaxis compatible with MAME and other emulators ?
Maybe it's me, but the iControlPad gamepad does'nt have an asthetically pleasing design
I'm about to load mame on mine, I'll let you know how I get on
Sent from my HTC One X using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
+1 for the PS3 controller, it just works so well with the six axis software. I'm not 100% sure but I think the reason for root access is that part of the pairing process is to connect the controller to the N7 via a USB cable in order to set the Bluetooth address as required. You can also do this via a pc if you don't have an otg cable.
An XBox360 controller connected wired with an OTG cable works perfectly without apps. But I have to agree that sixaxis with a ps3 pad is perfect.

Thanks for the tip.
Remember you can root, but NOT install a custom recovery, meaning you can have the best of both worlds as this way you will still be able to get the OTA updates :victory:
I wanted to revisit this topic, to see if there are any new Nexus 7 (Android) / Tablet Bluetooth gamepads, I am ready to buy one.... and I am certain that some good new controllers are now on the market.
How about pc's gamepads? Does they work straight away like 360's pad?
So, I sold my first gen N7 and my 2nd gen is in the mail.
My question is this: what are my options for hooking up a controller?
I have read that the Bluetooth no longer supports Wii and ps3 controllers.
What about wiring one through an otg cable? Like a 360 wired controller?

You might not be interested in buying another, separate, controller; but, of you don't mind, the Moga Pro controller is fantastic. It has a very premium feel to it, and very much so reminds me of a Xbox 360 controller. Its compatible with all of the major apps. Plus, the ones that it isn't compatible with, you can set up for yourself.
They also have fantastic customer support. I picked up my Flo on launch day. The Moga Pivot application wasn't running, so I emailed them. Within two days they had sent out an update and thanked me for letting them know. Also, its fully wireless. So none if that OTG stuff, and you can use it on your phone.

The OEM ps3 using Bluetooth? And with what app?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I would recommend a PS3 controller. It has been the best controller I've ever used on Android. I have been through them all. I have a Moga Original, and its great for on the go but lacks a D-Pad. I have an Ouya controller, but it's clunky D-Pad is similar to the 360's. WiiMotes (which don't work currently) are great but lacks the button count to play anything other then NES emulators. The Moga, Ouya, 360, WiiMote, and PS3 all have good battery life. Other controllers typically suck the juice and have bad button feedback or otherwise cheaply made. Don't waste your money on anything other then the above noted.
The PS3 has a great DPad and quality. Batteries last a long time, buttons feel great, response time is flawless, connects directly to the Tablet (no dongle like 360).
The Moga is iffy. Seems to be effected with delayed response when using the Moga Pairing app, which is required for the second analog support and for launching games so they pick up on the controls. Controls aren't bad but if you play something like Mario or Sonic, you'll feel the controls are slightly "off". Still a great controller for on-the-go. I haven't tried the Moga on the new N7 yet, they may have fixed this lag.
The PS3 controller is also probably one of the cheaper controllers you can find. I picked up a White PS3 DualShock from Gamestop for $29 new. The PS3 also has the greatest amount of support. It plays reliably across all of my devices, where the others are hit and miss.
The app required is the SixAxis Pairing app from the Play Store. Some custom roms build in this driver and the controller can connect natively, but for the most part, you would use the app. Benefits of the app also include the ability to map buttons to touchscreen overlay controls for games that do not support gamepads.

Out of curiosity, are you talking about the MOGA Pocket or the MOGA Pro? I own the latter and have never had too much trouble with the device in HIG mode (the MOGA app itself though was something of another level of horror).
