[Q] PS3 SixAxis via BT? - A7 General

I've been looking at some BT game controllers, and the xbox360 controller mod on here.
This would require either buying a BT controller that I don't even know if it will work, or at least buying a wired xbox360 controller... If all PS3 controllers are BT and these devices support BT inputs, how hard would it be to pair a SixAxis DualShock to one of these?

I know it took alot of time for developers to make a driver so that a PS3 controller could be used on the PC. I'm not a developer but apparently it was not an easy task. I assume it may be a little difficult to get the A7 to recognize it.

Those are Windows developers though, the guys on XDA seem to work at the speed of light compared to them

Why no XBOX 360 controller driver

Can someone explain why a driver hasn't been made for WM6 Being able to pair an xbox 360 controller and use it like a gamepad for your pocket pc?
Can this be done?
Has it allready been done?
the Xbox360 gamepad uses a proprietary form of Wifi to connect to the Xbox 360, not Bluetooth like the PS3. Hope that answers your question.
well it may be possible but microsoft will never share sensitive information about their controllers
in theory it may be possible to create adhoc connection to your device but it may require new wlan drover for your device and aditional software to map the controls for the gamepad...
the similar thing goes for the PS3 controller
It would be incredibly difficult since the controller switches frequencies randomly to avoid interference from other 900MHZ devices.
since no xbox.......why no ps3 controller driver??
j/k
i've been playing around with a ps3 controller that i got......drivers for using the controller while is plugged into a pc are all over the internet........but i just found this a few days ago, drivers for using bluetooth.
http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?p=65104
scroll down to the post by 89ron. tried it......works for me, but the down side is you have to switch from your bluetooth stack to this freebt stack
Wait...wait..
I had the gamepad on and it showed on my Bluetooth as "Player 1" and the XBOX 360 was not on.. What does this tell you?
que? What do you mean?

Onlive on Nook Color With PS3 Controller

I have been following various threads on the Onlivefans.com forum about using an Android device to play Onlive games and mapping hardware buttons to software controls. None are perfect and do not play the games I would like. Now the Sony Tablet S is compatible with Onlive using a real PS3 controller. The Sony Tablet S is a Playstation Certified tablet. What would I have to modify on my Nook Color to make it think it is a Tablet S? I already have Sixaxis Controller app to allow bluetooth connectivity to my PS3 controller and it works great for all my emulators. I am really hoping this will let me avoid a $50 purchase of Onlive's official Universal Controller.
Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks in advance.
could you clarify what you mean when you say bluetooth works fine? I was under the impression that book's bt radio was too weak to even keyboard properly?
there are apps on market that allow you to spoof other devices but if it is a hardware or driver limitation you might be able to usb joystick it
The bluetooth has worked great with my PS3 controller. I have used it up to 3 feet away with no issue. I have not tried to use two controllers at once but it seems technically possible.
I guess my real question is, does anyone have a build.prop from a Sony Tablet S and I will try asking in one of those forums.
The PS3 controller works a little bit while using OnLive but they do not allow you to map keys. They want you to use their controller only.

The sixaxis app says it lets you connect four controller but the nook apparently only recognizes one at a time.

USB hardware working into OUYA

Good night. I started this post to share with you all hardware usb devices that i have tested and worked without problem into OUYA.
First, i get an usb host with 5 usb ports , because ouya just have one standard usb port,
Usb .host worked without problem, and connected to it:
Keyboard and wireless mouse: i have tried 3 different models of keyboard + mouse wireless combo and all worked very well. Instant response and now i can navigate trought ouya like in Pc hihi
Usb memory sticks: I tried 1gb capacity, and also 4,8,16 and 32gb and all worked witount problems. Take note that you first need to install any file manager to get into usb contents.
Xbox 360 wireless controller: as its seems not to pair, if you use it into any emulator you can pair and configure buttons with it
I tried to use my Logitech g930s and it actually detected it and it allowed to Moro reduce and increase the system volume. Sadly I couldn't hear anything out of them. I might try again some other time.
Glad to hear that multiple USB Devices are working with Ouya.
OP, the Xbox 360 controller is NOT Bluetooth, though the Wii/WiiU/PS3 controllers are.
Sabrent 32' active USB extender works
Logitech Trackman Wheel works
Logitech unifying receiver and MX515 couch mouse work, but is registered as controller 1 at boot. It locked up the OUYA when first tried hot plugging it in to extender. Works when installed before boot, and had been paired by PC.
Belkin 4 port USB hub works plugged in to active 32' cable with trackball and 2gb USB stick. Hot swapped after wireless mouse was unplugged from ouya. wireless Mouse works connected through hub on reconnect. Pushed it with a 32gb stick, which was not recognized. Rebooted and 32gb stick was recognized but not 2gb. Both mice worked but controller still shows up as 2 even though I turned off the mouse when booting.
So what is a good USB game controller available cheap? It is now the end of two business weeks that I requested a replacement controller and I still haven't received it

Toshiba 1tb capacity, in NTFS format and helped by an app called "Paragon NTFS&HFS+" worked witout problem, so ouya also has compatibility with high capacity ntfs formatted hard drives ))

Best USB controller hands down is the wired version of the Xbox 360 controller. In the UK its about £20. Very long cable on them with a breakpoint which is handy for kid sisters running through your room. Functions fine under android and windows, can be gotten to work on other Linux systems and Macs fine too. £20 from other brands seems to get you nothing in comparison. Also makes a good club for hitting people when they beat you although the wireless controller has more heft to it so is a bit better there
Nkte, common mistake I have seen people do. Do not buy the play and charge kit for a regular wireless controller thinking it allows you to use it via USB, it doesn't. Also the proper USB reciever for a wireless 360 controller doesn't work correctly on android systems.
Otherwise, Logitech might be your best bet but I personally swear by the wired 360 controllers. Hopefully when the one is released the 360 controllers will have a price crash, I'll probably stock up on a handful more.
I can confirm the PS3 Sixaxis Controller is working!
EDIT: Bluetooth & Wired-connection works fine.
Cool! We have now xbox360 and ps3 sisaxis fully working!!
I have a ps3 media remote but cant get the ouya to see it. Anyone else try this yet?
Update: I was able to see the remote under bluetooth devices but it asks me for a pin number. didnt see one in the manual
Does the xbox 360 wireless adapter (for PC) work for Ouya ?? I got one queued up in my Amazon cart but trying to get some feedback first. Wired 360 controller works great, acts just like an Ouya controller. Wiimote with Wiimote Controller is hit or miss on my programs. Don't have access to any PS3 controllers, but have lots of 360 controllers lying around.

Can you be more specific? So many threads are filled with poor information or redundant information. It would be great if we could all provide as much information as possible. The point of this thread is to inform others of what does and does not work so that they we don't all have to repeat the same trial and error process.

Yes it does. I cannot compare with a wired one, but for me it is working. The support on the games is not 100% but I dont think that this is a a receiver fault more than a implementation thing. AFAIK there are different input management APIs on ODK. It seems that some games uses hardcoded keycodes instead of new OUYA API for controller compatibility.
For exmplae, in Stalagfligt, none PS3 nor Xbox works, Ice Rage only works with PS3 controller and SCi-Fi fighters with Xbox one.

Did you try 1234 or 0000? Those tend to be standards for pairing.

Hi guys, does anyone know if there's a way to alter the button functions of a USB mouse? I'm using a standard Dell mouse and left, right and middle click are all set to tap, it'd be nice to map right and middle click to different functions if possible, like back and menu.
Are the button functions baked in to the ROM? Or does it depend on which mouse you're using? I had a quick look for mouse button mapping apps but couldn't find anything, it was all virtual mouse apps for controlling PC etc.

Has anyone found a bluetooth game controller that works?

PS3 ones require a supported adapter, as well as wii motes, most made for android tablets require drivers that microsoft can't find.
Has anyone been successful in finding a bluetooth game controller that works with any adapter and has drivers readily available.
Works with what device?
I am yet to find a bluetooth radio which will not pair with a wiimote or PS3 controller.
If you're talking about windows 8 rather than RT, you shouldn't have any problems using a regular bluetooth gamepad. IIRC a wiimote doesn't function as a regular gamepad as such, but you can use other software like Girder to make it work that way. If compatibility with games that expect to see an Xbox 360 controller is your problem, search for "x360ce vibmod", that works great for me with my generic bluetooth gamepad.

[Q] 2 controllers, 1 NPlayer

So things are going pretty well in terms of gamepad playing on my NPlayer using my F710. My roommate plugged in his wired controller to see what would happen. We were both controlling the same character.
Does android allow for multiple gamepad inputs for things like emulators and whatnot? I haven't had a chance to check and don't know when I'll be able to. There doesn't appear to be any local multiplayer games for android yet. (while double dragon is listed as local multiplayer, it is actually local in terms of using bluetooth on separate devices)
Try to test it with Age of Zombies, it has 4 player local co-op.
I actually managed to find the answer to this question. Multiple game pad input has to be programmed into the app, so the facilities are there in the API, but the developer has to make it work. I guess we'll just have to wait for more NPlayer friendly games to show up.
Wait, so you had your F710 and then someone connected another controller? USB hub? Or did you manage to pair the F710 without the dongle?

F710 uses the unifying receiver from Logitech. You have to use the dongle. I have a USB hub with storage, F710, and another gamepad connected and they all work.
I have one official controller and a xb360 controller and was able to play Bombsquad and Riptide GP2 perfectly well with 2 players. I really wanted to play MAME, but couldn't get the emu to identify them as two separate controllers. I think it's app specific.
