Use Android as a wireless gaming receiver for wireless 360 controller?

Hi, I was wondering if there is, has been, or an app in development for android to use the phone as a wireless gaming receiver? Like use the phone as a receiver to connect it with a wireless Xbox 360 controller to play games on the PC. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for, but I use this program: http://www.frankiesoft.com.ar/

Thanks for the find! I might use that app because I just want to use a substitute for my joystick to play Flight Simulator X because I can't find it. What I'm looking for is an app that can function as this: http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-U...es/XboxWirelessGamingReceiverforWindows.aspx/

So basically what you want to do is to connect your xbox 360 controller to your pc through your android powered phone? if so, i'm sorry to tell you that this is not possible, yet.

Can you just get a wired controller and plug it in? I know that costs more money, but it would work...

PS3 controller on Xoom Family

Did anybody succeed in using a PS3 controller for the Xoom Family (connetted with the USB OTG Cable)? I want to use it for Snesoid and the other emulators.
Mine lights up but can't do anything with it. I tried to reassign the keys but when I press a button nothing happens. It seems that with the normal XOOM is recognized without any issues. Or any luck with another controller?

Download an app called Sixaxis from the market. It's a paid app.

Since the original question was about the OTG cable and the SixAxis app is for Bluetooth, I use a PS3 controller via USB and it works fine.
You do have to press the Playstation logo button to use the controller...

You can use PS3 controllers via the mini USB, just like you can on the PS3 when the batteries are flat.

Thanks for the responses.
Sixaxis requires root, and the Xoom Family is locked.
Also cant get the ps3 controller to work on the Family, maybe they did not include the drivers (its still on 3.1).

I could have sworn I saw a thread on how to root the Xoom family.

It should work on Android 3.1.... Make sure its not paired with the PS3. You can do this by turning the back switch to off on your ps3. I had some trouble connecting my ps3 controller at first, But the problem was it was connected to my ps3. I didn't notice because my ps3 was in the other room.

Controller reccomendations

Wired 360 controller or dreamgear ps3 wireless?
Thanks

I'd go with the ps3 controller. I tried my brother's xbox controller and couldn't get it to work correctly. My ps3 controller worked right away with usb, also works great with bluetooth, using sixaxis from the market, great for emulators.

Cool thanks ya I have sixaxis and was testing with brother in laws sony ps3 controller and worked good once paired but I need my own so I don't have to keep pairing it ya know.. does the brand of ps3 controller matter or will the wireless protocol still work with the tablet. What do you have to do to pair it up via bt with no USB...
Thanks

Seems the dreamgear controller is wireless 2.4 via USB dongle ....

Honestly, I would go with a Sony branded PS3 controller with the sixaxis app from the market.
The app costs a few bucks, but works flawlessly, very easy to setup as well.
Can't go wrong with that gear.

I was able to use a Wired XBox 360 controller (that I bought for using in Windows 7) on my A500 running stock either 3.0 or 3.2.1. I can't remember if it was before or after I updated it. It worked great for an NES emulator!

Not sure why you can't use a 360 controller when games that use controllers have the exact colored button indicators as it.
I use a wired, and it works by default. If you use onlive gaming, you will want to use the 360 controller since games are made for it already, or the onlive wireless one. Wireless Xbox 360 controllers work as well, but I use the wired so I don't need to worry about battery life.
Bluetooth controllers typically will have synch issues so stay away from those.

sorry if this seems cluttered im at work and typed this out as fast as possible.
hope this helps some of you.

If I am not mistaken, is root required?

That method for pairing with Sixaxis is not required, can all be done on the tablet itself with a USB OTG cable.
Root is required however.

Well. Poop

i keep getting no controller found after going through all the steps.

Simultaneously connect to a bluetooth headset?
I got to pair my N7 and PS3 controller thru Sixaxis just fine. But it prevents me to simultaneously connect to a bluetooth headset. So I have to disconnect my bluetooth headset and connect my PS3 controller. Does anyone know which bluetooth headset would work simultaneously with the PS3 controller?

I can not get mine to pair. Keeps saying there is no controller found on the n7. I installed both version as stated on the website.
I changed the address from the n7 and put that on the program. Not really sure what is wrong

Got it working, just had to unplug the ps3 controller then start it up.

mk809 360 controller issues

Has anyone else had issues syncing a wireless xbox 360 controller to their android stick? I only recently picked up a wireless/usb adapter for the controller, but cannot for the life of me sync the controller to work on the mk809 (non BT, so please dont suggest a ps3 controller).
I can get the controller to sync fine with my PC and my Galaxy Nexus, so I do know that the usb adapter works.
I have watched a few videos and did a quick search but didnt come up with anything about sync issues. I have watched youtube videos of mk's using 360 controllers, so that shouldnt be a problem.
Ideas?

I use my PS3 controller with a cable and of works great. I also have a 360 controller with wireless USB. Although I have an MK808 but they are pretty much the same I think.
Although I have to use a button mapping app IME. I use JoyCenter or something. It lets me map all the buttons and works OK. I played with emulators and seems pretty responsive.
You might need a custom rom with the drivers preinstalled, or root and do it yourself.
Could be the problem.

I believe that you will need to use a wired controller to get it to connect.
