USB Gamepad - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

So now that Honeycomb supports keyboards, is there any reason I can't use an HID compatible gamepad with the new USB adapter? Looking forward to checking out all the emulators on my nice big screen...

yes, it should be possible. google showed it off with an usb xbox controller at google i/o.

would this be possible? I currently own one but never used it.

I've been using a wii remote + nesoid for a couple days now. Works awesome. No need for usb dongle.

Yes I would love to know as well, if possible post files.

the wiimote uses bluetooth. I've been doing that for a year or more with my nexus one.

That's AWESOME!

I don't have a Wii Remote, and it doesn't seem like it would really work for N64 or PlayStation games. I am going to try the USB Xbox remote. I wonder if you could use two of them with a USB hub...

Is there a dock or something that has both usb and hdmi? That would make my tab a pretty impressive device for emulators.

the xbox gamepad+usb adapter won't work, you need drivers for that (even on older windows versions like XP).
just get a bluetooth gamepad instead.

Actually it would work as the classic gamepad connected to a wiimote also functions with the wiimote app.

Thanks, I went out and got a sweet collectors edition tron remote to use with this

Wii remote and classic controller work fantastic, but what I really want is the ability to use a PS3 controller because it sucks having to lug around a wii remote just to use the sub-par classic controller.
I agree with the ps3 controller but I think its limited on the controllers side, just find one like that online that is bluetooth
from what I remember ps3 controllets can't be used cause of the way they pair. Wii with classic is the best so far.
This is cool, I didnt know you could use the wiimote. What works with the wiimote?
Thanks, this is new info to me.

I believe all the emu's do, though I've personally only used it for NES - sweet app though.
I ve know about it for a while but never decided to try it since it was for a phone and the controller is twice its size, but for a tablet I am OK with the idea
What emulator is good to run on the Xoom, I have one installed that a guy a verizon mentioned, but it only works if you store the data on at /sd so for now is unusable for me...
Which one's are you guys using that works well on the xoom?
I use Nesoid, Gensoid and SNesoid. WiimoteController for the WiiMote. ROM Gripper and Emulator ROMs to search for the games / ROMs.

Like he said above. I use Snesoid with wiicontroller. I had a folder called Roms and well put the roms there. I had a huge set of roms from way back when i moved all my snes games to my pc before I packed them up.
Thanks Guys!
I use snesoid and UAE4Droid (Amiga emulator) daily with a wiimote on my phone... can someone check whether UAE4Droid works on the Xoom? I'm about to pre-order the wifi only from PC World in UK.
I've got the Wii remote with a classic pro controller paired with the Xoom and Snesoid. I played Mortal Combat for hours last night. Runs perfectly.
I just wish I could use a more simple controller setup, but I can't seem to find any info about other bluetooth controllers that will work. Anyone have any recommendations?
how do you pair it to the xoom/phone?
does it knock off the pairing with the wii? I have wii remotes with the recharable battery pack so re-pairing means i have to find some proper batteries each time which can be a pain

You need to run Wiimote. There are pretty clear directions in the app. You basically tell it to start searching and then hold down the 1 and 2 key on the Wii controller to start it in pairing mode.
I'm sure you will have to re-pair it with the Wii afterwards.

How were you able to get the classic controller working? I have the wiimote set up and working. Plug in the classic controller and don't get any response from it. I'm using snesoid and wiimote controller 0.3 beta.
Thank you in advance for any help.

I've got the classic controller pro...I don't know if that matters. Also, I went into the settings for key mapping in Snesoid and mapped all of the buttons. They show up as letters on the mapping screen.

USB Gamepads

Does anyone know if usb gamepads work with the Iconia? Would like to use an analoge pad if it can be done to play some PSX games..
Thanks, Sonkey
This has been discussed numerous times since 3.1 was released.
Yes, USB gamepads are supported. Not 100% sure about analog thumbpads for psx playing though. Try it

why bother using a wired joystick when you can get a wireless joystick at just few bucks more..
i have PS3 wireless joystick and installed sixaxis contoller app... been happy and no problem so far
Those of you using an xbox controller hardwired..
my left analogue stick works but not the right one. also the top L+R buttons work but not the bottom ones..
do you guys have the same issues??
Also..
Those using the PS3 controller.. have you noticed that any buttons arent responding? might invest in a PS3 controller if they all work correctly.
thanks in advance.
I've bought this app on the market
(Damn, cannot post links...)
it's called 'USB/BT Joystick Center'
It's working perfectly to me...
I've tested 3 generic usb joysticks and all of them worked.
You can create the USB driver based on the bits input of the device.
really nice, and no root is needed.
rafinhasantana 'USB/BT Joystick Center
Hey rafinhasantana,
I bought USB/BT JOY center too but i was afraid to install it. check out the permissions on that thing. Says it can record passwords you enter in another application. I know its probably needed to record button actions etc... but i was a little concerned.
Do you have any issues with it thus far? Anyone else use this????

Hi!
Well i've had no problems with that.. It works like an alternative input method, like in the Wii controller input, but you're not gonna use to type your passwords around. I've contacted the developer about the deadzone for sticks and he hass implemented that...
It's working fine for me, and since I don't use the tablet for banking I'm not THAT worried about passwords on it at all...

Those SixAxis Dual Shock controllers... the ones listed as wireless still have the mini USB connection on the back. Is that ONLY for charging, or can those be hooked up via USB to the tablet for use as well?

Anyone know if PlayStation One (dual shock) controllers can work properly?
I have one hooked up via an OTG cable and a USB conversion hub (to plug the controller into) and can only seen to get the analogue sick to work on FPse. The others buttons (other than the D-pad and right analogue stick) seem to be working in the joycentre but I am not sure how to get them to work outside it, out how to tell the joycentre what physical buttons the presses relate to. Does anyone know if a tutorial video in English?

Using The Galaxy Note As A Game Console! [Video]

Just a little video on the HDMI functions of the galaxy note (as a kind of game console and entertainment system)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBsqMV4Pymc
Some small issues that I found:
-Battery can in-fact go down (while on charge)
-The phone seems to slow down a little bit (not unusable, but noticeably)
-HDMI connection sometimes cuts out for a few seconds every half hour or so (might be the TV though)
And finally does anybody know a good android compatible bluetooth game controller? THAT would make this set up complete!
-Cheers
I've used the iControlPad with the BluezIME app on a GalaxyTab 7". Works very well. There are also ways to use a PS3 wireless controller with Galaxy devices, and even wiimotes if you put the CyanogenMod ROM on your device.
ICS should open up the options in this area considerably.
I didn't buy a controller, I just use my PS3 one. One of the best controllers out there for emulator games! Nice video btw.

Thanks for the reply, but how is the range on the iControl Pad like? The Rii mini keyboard that i'm using states 30m but you're lucky if you can get 2m. After this it starts cutting out connections and prolonging key-presses with jerky movements etc.

What is the cheapest gamepad for android devices?
I thought a PS3 controller would be great, so i bought one from ebay but i realized to late that the "ps3 controller" app only works with the controllers from sony, because otherwise there are pairing problems.
Yes PS3 controller is onlty for PS3... If you want to use an other controller, use the Phonejoy
No, as often said before, you can use a PS3 Controller for your Android devices (at least for the most)...
But in fact it must be a PS3 controller from sony.
Everything you have to do is to buy "sixaxis controller" from the market, pairing your controller once (with the computer and the showed local bluetooth_adress) and connect it to your device.

driver?
hey i've bought that keyboard to for my xperia s and the driver that came with it didnt work so i useb blueinput but i cant see the mouse ,what driver do you use?
Hi guys, can anyone help me with this. I have have bought the gadgets needed to turn the note into a gaming console, but i had to buy a generic Bluetooth keyboard because i couldnt find the one specified.
My problem is that the keyboard is fine and all, its paired and works well in the native environment. I can type, i have access to quick keys such as menu or home button and back. It even has a track pad which also works. My problem is when i use it as a gamepad in emulators. For the moment i'm using the app Super GNES from google play to run the SNES games. altho i have configured it to use specific keys in the Button Mapping, everytime i start a game, the keys ive configured didnt work. its like the bluetooth keyboard isnt even connected but its connected because when i use the trackpad i can see the mouse pointer. I was thinking of getting the sixaxis controller app, but, as it turns out i need to root the phone which i am not willing to do.
So is there soemthing i'm doing wrong?
Is there another app like the sixaxis controller that will work that does not need a rooted phone?
Thanks

Multiple PS3 Controllers?

Is it possible to connect multiple ps3 controllers via bluetooth to play on the ePSXe emulator?
I can connect one easily enough with it and this emulator does accept multiple controllers but I'm wondering whether both can be connected to it via bluetooth as usb-otg isn't availiable with this phone.
Search for sixaxis controller on the play store.

[Q] Wirless control that works with Xbox 360 and Mojo?

I could use another Xbox 360 controller, but it would be nice if it could be used for both the Xbox and the MOJO so I'd have another controller for the MOJO. It would have to be wireless, I know the wired one can work. I've done a lot of searching, but didn't see a great solution. I saw on XDA forum there is a way to get it to work with Nexus, but wasn't sure if it would work on the MOJO. Any thoughts?

Good to see that we could help you, and i hope that you will have a lot of fun with it.
I can confirm that the wireless receiver for the PC works on the mojo. I was able to pair the Xbox 360 wireless with the receiver and get it to work. I was able to get it to work without doing any configuration for Soulcraft, except for the trigger buttons. It also worked straight up on Mupen64. On GTA III it worked until you got into the game, then it would just constantly spin around, so may need some configuration. I won't be using it as a main controller, but seems to be an option if I want to play a two player game. The receiver was only $10 US, so nice addition to be able to use an XBOX 360 controller now on the MOJO and a computer.
