UK ASUS OTA Update adds xbox 360 controller support

I thought a few people might find this useful.
As the title says The OTA update I received today (16th July) seems to have added support for the wired xbox 360 controller.
I have tried the with cordy (a game from the android market) and two emulators - Nesoid and N64oid and it works fine once the keys have been mapped. It kept saying <unknown> but it does at least recognize the key presses.

nice. that will make gaming super awesome now on the TF.

Very handy actually, as all the Xbox games that have been released for the last year and a bit have been utter ****e and nothing new on the horizon either, so I could do with a reason to find another use for the controller. Off to get some batteries and try this out.

I still want wireless other than the wii controller, sigh.

Batteries?
Isn't the support for the wired controller only?

PS3 SixAxis is wireless

Does the ps3 controller work as a bluetooth gamepad? I haven't tried.

Video Tutorial: Use a PS3 controller as a gamepad via bluetooth

Hello
I have made a tutorial on how to play games on any android device using a PS3 controller via bluetooth... I have demonstrated this on my Galaxy Note.
I have shown how to configure it with various emulators (PS one and SNES)

Also added an app to help you find ROMS easily.
Hope you find this useful
Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any queries feel free to pm me, will get back to you as quick as possible

Do the analog sticks work? Specifically, are the analog sticks emulated as analog, or just digital (full on/full off) key presses, with no gradient?

Hi
@ ashwin123
How do you get the ps3 controller to work on your galaxa Note ?
I tried it ever and ever again with different Versions of Firmware , Different versions of the Sixaxis Controller App and also with different ps3 Bluetooth
Controller,but i don´t get a Connection between my Galaxy Note and the
ps3 controller
At the Moment my phone comes with stock firmware kl7 and i use Sixaxis
Controller App Version 0.3.9
The Ps3 Sixaxis Controller is Original from Sony.
The Galaxy Note is of course rooted.
I didn´t get this to work.
It makes me crazy
I paired the controller with the pairing tool.
then starting the sixaxis app,but the 4 lights on the controller were still blinking
and then they turns off. No Connection
Which firmware and wich version of sixaxis Controller app do you use ?
greetings from Germany

Turn off bluetooth on your phone first.
Then open sixaxis controller
Then connect controller to pc
Download sixaxis pc software
Change the code to whats found on the sixaxis app on the note
Now hit start on the app
The first player light should come on
Change input to sixaxis.
You should be good to go.
If anything is unclear please watch my tutorial video once more...
If the issue still persists contact manufacturer... (lol Ive always wanted to say that... juz kidding if you still cant connect it come back and leave a post explaining where exactly do things go wrong)
Dont you worry, we will get your controller paired up soon

Only have an Xbox wireless controller . Any way I could connect that?

Good news and bad news...
Good News... it can be done and its simple
Bad News... You need a receiver from microsoft, the one you get to connect the controller to pc... then you can connect it to the usb port (in case the galaxy note theres no USB port so connect a usb host adapter to the micro usb post and then the receiver to that)
Android should handle the rest.
This should work in theory and I have seen it work on honeycomb... not a 100% sure on gingerbread
COST:
USB Receiver $20 (approx.) (Amazon)
USB Host adapter $1-3(approx.) (Ebay)

[Q] OnLive Compatible?

Was just wondering if anyone had tried the OnLive Android client on this? It's obviously not officially supported yet, but there is a fair chance that it will work.
Thanks.

Yes. No reason it won't. Even if it isnt in the market, just sideload it

Thanks, was just thinking that I hadn't seen anyone run it on JB, and there may be some compatibility issue there.
Would still like to see if someone can actually get it running. I am tempted to pick up one of the universal controllers if I am sure it works well with this.

im getting onlive for sure! i just need to find a good controller for my tegra hd games.

Thought I'd bump this existing thread since the N7's are in a lot of people's hands now. Has anyone had a chance to try the controller yet?
I'm interested in getting a controller for my N7 and until the Nyko Android PlayPads are released. Thought this might be the best way to go in the meantime.
Cheers,
Kermee

I have just sold a brand new controller on eBay as I had two sent and they didn't want it back ?!? Very accommodating are on live ... lol
Have not used my on live yet but the N7 run games (in app) amazingly well.
I think On live will work just as good

I've used OnLive on the N7 - works great. I haven't got a controller for it though.

Same for me using it right now on Nexus7 to play Lego Batman and its working great!

This is a patched onlive app that allows any controller to work by default. Like sixaxis pps3.

I had previously bought an official receiver so that I could use my wireless Xbox controller to play games on my Windows PC.
Now I just plug the receiver into a USB OTG cable connected to my N7. Just tap the button on the receiver and the connect button on the controller, and job done. You can use the Xbox controller to navigate and play games.

Thanks for that information I'm waiting on my cable and ill try my wired xbox control I've already got the patched apk installed

OnLive and the official universal controller works great.

So how do I OTG controller while stock?

So I know ps3 controller wirelessly needs root, but it seems like people are able to use controllers wired while stock. Interested in getting a super nes controller and otg adapter to play snesoid and nesoid games. Haven't seen a write up yet and got no idea what apps I need to get the controller to work with it. Already have the emulator up and running

When my N7 was stock I just plugged in my xbox 360 controller and it natively worked . Didnt need to do anything special . Remember not all games support controllers .. I didnt try out any other emulators or controllers but from what I hear from others.. some work.....some do not.

For me I just plugged in the PS3 controller then pushed the little round button in the middle of the controller. Once I did that I could use the analog stick to move the icon around the screen. Then I simply loaded Dead Trigger and it was already mapped. Really it was that simple for me.

Zombie Driver and PS3 controller.

Purchased Zombie Driver yesterday and noticed a gamepad can be used with it. What do I need to do to get a PS3 controller to work with the game?

Download the SixAxis app from the Play Store and link them, pretty much it to be honest mate.
Also is the game any good mate?

Its not bad actually. Haven't spent a massive amount of time on it due to trying to get a PS3 controller configured lol.

Did you manage to find the SixAxis?
If not:

It is a paid app but buy it, give it a quick go and if it doesnt work/you dont like it get it refunded, if not keep it and enjoy your PS3 controller

I bought it, sync'd, and can't figure out how to get the controller to control the screen. It definitely pairs, and I've enabled it under input methods.. game just doesn't react to it. Color me confused.

There's an option in SixAxis to change how the controller interacts with the device. You can have the controller map to "touch areas" on your screen. So pressing a button will touch a particular area on the screen.
You should also have an option to have the controller be a gamepad, so games should see you have a "gamepad" connected. I do this when playing Modern Combat 3. I set it to a gamepad, and when I play the game, I just map the buttons normally. The R3/L3 sticks also should move as analog.
