Game Controller Library - change specially recognized controller - No Dinput - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
I have a Shield TV Pro and gamepads that are being recognized incorrectly.
The retro-bit Tribute 64 USB controllers are set to Dinput, but the Shield does not recognize this.
The gamepads work fine with another Android TV box.
Can I change something about the way the Shield manages the controllers so that the controllers are recognized as dinput controllers?
Maybe changing the controller library, or changing the USB driver?
The problem is that the start button on the controller is recognized by the Shield as a home screen button, which makes it impossible to use this button.
With apps like Button-Remapper I can only deactivate the button completely, but then I can no longer assign it because no input is recognized.
Nvidia support and controller support couldn't help.

On external controllers

Hello everybody,
I like playing games on my phone a lot, yet i really don't like the touch screen controls, for lack of feedback and responsiveness, therefore i am in the market for an external controller.
I have simple requirements for it :
>Must use Bluetooth connection since my phone (OPPO find 5) does not support OTG
>Must be compatible with my windows 8 laptop
>Must be compatible with Android emulators like FPSe and NESoid emulators
>should have 2 analog sticks
>Should be easy to set up
What do you guys suggest?
Why don't you just use a PS3 controller in combination with sixaxis controller?
Odds are that you already have one, so you don't have to bother searching for one.
The only downside is that you cannot use the controller on your PS3 again, unless you restore the default bluetooth adress of the controller. So be sure to write it down somewhere before changing it.
No need to write anything down.ps3 controllers auto pair when u connect them via usb. ..

third party controllers

Hi,
I have successfully configured my third party controller to work with OUYA, but when I disconnect the stock OUYA controller, it always appear a message to pair a controller, and didn't disappear.
What can I do to solve this?
Thanks for all.

Is it a USB or Bluetooth controller?

Hi, it is a USB controller.
Does your USB controller show up as a controller icon when it is connected? Top/left. Some USB controllers just don't play nice with the OUYA. Are you able to play 2 player games with it? Try downloading/installing keytest.apk and seeing what kind of inputs its the ouya is receiving from it.
Every controller is different depending on what type of encoder it uses. This changes what type of device your OUYA sees it as. Also what of default keys it sends to the OUYA.
Did you make a custom kl to configure your usb controller? If no how did you go about this?
Hope this helps. If not maybe with a little more info I can help you get it figured out.

Is there any way to connect a PS4 controller to the 6P?

I have tried through bluetooth and the phone is unable to pair with the controller. Is there any other way to work around this issue and connect wirelessly? Also will a USB-C OTG cable work with the 6P?
I haven't received my 6P yet but on my 6 I use sixaxis controller with my ps3 controller. Not sure if ps4 controller does native Bluetooth gamepad or you need to use the app.
Use this to set the parent address to your nexus 6ps bluetooth mac address (you can find it in settings->about)
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
Then connect it as a standard bluetooth device.
Unfortuantely after 30sec it starts lagging terribly
So I successfully got the ps4 controller to pair over Bluetooth without adjusting any settings. It wouldn't work at first but it added it as a device. Then when I tried again the next day after restarting the phone it connected.
you have to hold PS button and share at the same time until you get the flashing white light.
However, the triggers mapped weird for games and there is lag.
Does anyone know of a way to fix the mapping without root?
I also successfully used the OTG cable with the ps3 controller. This worked a lot better this works a lot faster then the Bluetooth ps4. And the mapping is correct.
Haven't tried usb to ps4 yet. UPDATE
So ps4 over otg also has some mapping issues. Tested this out in minecraft settings since you can customize controller mapping. For some reason on ps4 some buttons didn't seem to me recognized, everything was weird, like r2 was labeled as a button and triangle wasn't showing anything.
Tried to connect ps3 via Bluetooth but couldn't get it to work

Xbox one controller with z5

Hi guys, spent a few days trying to get my Xbox one controller working with the z5 for emulators etc and managed to sort it. You will need an otg cable, Xbox one controller and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.free.usbjoyfree .
First plug the Xbox one controller into the phone via the otg cable and turn it on.(turn off Xbox one at wall before) then open the slide down settings and select "detect usb device". now open usbjoyfree and press the search button on the left and grant it permission to connect to the controller. Next select the Xbox one controller profile and check the button work when pressed. Now click on IME in the top left of usbjoyfree and select usbjoyfree as the input device.
Your controller should now work with epsxe and n64 emulators etc.
Make sure you turn IME back to the keyboard when not playing games as the keyboard won't show up
Hope it helped a few people. The app should also work with xbox360 and other controllers too.
Peace, Davey P
Also you don't need root, only need root for touchscreen emulation ie, mapping controller to games that have on screen controlls that are normally not supported by controllers. But fine for emus

Shield controller not detected as gamepad on emulators.

Hey guys.
There is something that has bothered me on the shield tv. On any emulator I use the B Button always acts as Back button even when I map it to something else.
I think there is something interfering with the key layout that makes the shield tv controller not be detected as a gamepad when opening an emulator but still as a controller with the back and accept button on A and B.
You can test this with the mupen n64 emulator.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I haven't really played with emulators, but does the controller work any better if you plug it in?
