Yeah you can use PS3/XBOX360. I think the game is pretty sweet. I'm still waiting for them to fix Nova 3 for the GS3. Otherwise I've been playing this, ME Infiltration, Homerun Battle 2, etc..

Have any of you gotten Dead Space to work? On mine it just exists after choosing difficulty.

So I'm getting just about 1% battery drop per minute of ANY (decent) game play. Is that about right? Seems like a LOT to me...
Also:
I agree Dead Trigger is a good game albeit a simple FPS. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like they super dumb down FPS's for phones because they're expecting it to be difficult to use the screen as a controller.
Maybe they do this rightfully so, but if you use a PS3 controller, suddenly all the FPS games are rudimentary and have no depth or challenge. (they all also run too slow when you have the ability to zoom around the screen with a joystick)

How the heck do you hook up an xbox controller?
1% sounds about right considering such a small battery in comparison to like the Vita.

I have yet to do it but my buddy has. The controller connects to the phone via Bluetooth. I think you have to be rooted though I'm not sure.

Is $8.99 too much for one of these cables?

Yes. If all otg cables are created equal, I got a good seller on eBay who sells them for like 3.50 a piece and they work great on my xoom. As a matter of fact I lost my last one and am waiting for a new nor in the mail now. I can produce u a link if Ud like.

OTG cable is all that you need, it allows the phone to work in USB host mode so you can connect just about any USB device to the phone
For maximum flexibility, I recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy which is an interface program for USB game controllers which allows you to map ANY usb controller to any key you want. I use this on my Kindle Fire for all the NES/SNES/Etc emulators. It should also work with the bluetooth based controllers. One thing that kind of sucks is that a lot of games are designed from the ground up for touch screen controllers so there is no provision to even change the input device

It's really not very difficult. To connect via bluetooth (which in my opinion is far superior to ugly and annoying wires) you will most likely need root.
I prefer the PS3 controller and this is the app I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.
A year ago, connecting a wiimote was like 'WOAH!' now, It's almost expected. This is nothing new, and I'm really confused at why there aren't third party controllers for phones. The first good controller (or PS3/xbox copy) could become a standard to which all games are modeled upon. Game makers could even charge like $30 for a big title game and send you a controller for your troubles.
Unfortunately, as altitude909 said above, most every game these days is made with the idea that you'll be using on-screen controls. So they either do some funny things to make it easier to use the screen which doesn't translate into a controller, or they dumb down the gameplay so that it's just too easy with a controller.
Mass Effect is probably the best game graphically and gameplay wise on the US version Galaxy S3 currently. No matter how hard I try, that game just cannot translate into a controller. Because the nature of Mass Effect being a third person life action but turn based shooter, they tried to incorporate that unique gameplay into a phone, which actually works well with on screen controls, but could be so much more enjoyable if you could use a controller. Problem is that the game requires the player to tap on enemies to aim, and also slide around to use various powers...

Can an otg cable and 360 controller work with games, like emulators, without having root?

I've been waiting for it to release in the US or a controller that is similar...

Still confused, as I thought that the 360 controller does not work via bluetooth and lacks a usb interface. Am I wrong? I've got the PS3 controller working via bluetooth no problem.

Recommended Gamepad for Nexus 7

Can anyone recommend a good Bluetooth gamepad for the Nexus 7. I saw that the PS3 is supported, although I don't have a controller right now, and I think they are top end in terms of cost ?
I assume that you also need to download some software from Google Play to manage the gamepad, I dont think that Android has native support. I am aware of Sixasis controller, however is there are good free software instead ?
Also is root a mandatory requirement for the software to control the gamepad.
Cheers

I don't have any other advice for you, but I have to say I have a sixaxis controller and the program "sixaxis controller" from the play store. It works so well I haven't considered anything else. As for cost, check out local pawn shops for the controller might get one cheap. Playing dead trigger with the ps3 controller is much better than using the touch screen.
Sorry I didn't have any additional information. Also yes, root is required for sixaxis.

Agree, I bit the bullet and bought a ps3 dualshock3 sixaxis and the sixaxis app, well worth it.... Just becareful with the cheaper ones available on ebay as there are alot of fakes that don't work with sixaxis....
there's a good thread on here with some games already having profiles for them as well if you haven't already seen it:

I must figure out how to get MAME setup, I think that would be lots of fun with a PS3 controller and a Nexus 7 which is what I will buy. Thanks

One controller that I heard is good (although I havent tried first hand) is the icontrolpad ( http://www.icontrolpad.com ). Apparently they are bluetooth controllers so they will be able to work with the N7 or any device that has bluetooth capabilities. It is a pretty steep price to bite the bullet on though.

Thanks for the link. I noticed that the iControlPad says that it's compatible with many emulators.
Is the PS3 controler with sixaxis compatible with MAME and other emulators ?
Maybe it's me, but the iControlPad gamepad does'nt have an asthetically pleasing design

I'm about to load mame on mine, I'll let you know how I get on

+1 for the PS3 controller, it just works so well with the six axis software. I'm not 100% sure but I think the reason for root access is that part of the pairing process is to connect the controller to the N7 via a USB cable in order to set the Bluetooth address as required. You can also do this via a pc if you don't have an otg cable.

An XBox360 controller connected wired with an OTG cable works perfectly without apps. But I have to agree that sixaxis with a ps3 pad is perfect.

Yes, but your N7 still needs to be rooted and that you are running the sixaxis Bluetooth app (your device is actively charging the controller) in the background. The 360 controller is plug and play compatible.

I have 9-14 days to wait to even get my phonejoy controller, but i'll have to try this as well as soon as i get my tablet, (Hopefully Tuesday)
Thanks for the tip.

Remember you can root, but NOT install a custom recovery, meaning you can have the best of both worlds as this way you will still be able to get the OTA updates :victory:

I wanted to revisit this topic, to see if there are any new Nexus 7 (Android) / Tablet Bluetooth gamepads, I am ready to buy one.... and I am certain that some good new controllers are now on the market.

How about pc's gamepads? Does they work straight away like 360's pad?

External controller

I'd really like to play a few games on my n10 using an external controller of some sort. We have xbox/wii/ps3 at home, can I use any of those controllers or is there a specific one to buy?

I have used wii controllers. You have to download an app for that.

PlayStation 3 controllers have one of the must have apps for tablets in SixAxis. Highly recommend

If you can live with cable connection just plug in ps3 controler via USB and yout good.
If you want bluetooth you need root.

Once my Nexus is repaired, there'll be a Nexus 10.2... And I'll be demanding one from Samsung for all the trouble they put me through.

Use your ps3 controller with the six axis app... It's freaking awesome.. For games that don't have native game pad support, you can set up the buttons to emulate touching the screen... Works awesome

My only concern about the shield

I am seriously looking forward to the shield but I couldn't care less about the android gaming portion of the device. The only reason I would be buying this is for the streaming option, I already have a i7 920 machine with a gtx 770 gpu (talk about too much gpu for an older CPU) and have my whole house wires with cat5e and wireless n routers/access points. The shield would be my dream come true, I would just take it to any tv in the house and connect it with the hdmi out and basically play my pc games anywhere I want, or if needs be, on the shield screen itself.
Those who are married with kids know exactly why this sort of mobility is why the shield is 100% worth it. My problem? That the shield is a complete flop (it probably will) and nvidia does a dreamcast on us and drops support for it in a few years and no more streaming games.
Any chance o a type of root hack or something that will allow us to stream games nvidia doesn't allow?

Assuming the *game* supports an external gamepad. I tried to get "Rock of Ages" to work, but it doesn't. Of course, I've had multiple times where that game won't work with *the keyboard connected to the system*. It's pretty flaky. But most games support an external controller, and just work.
It's not fake mouse and keyboard events, it's a real controller.

You have your hands on a shield already?

Oh, nice, so you workked on the project officialy with Nvidia or how did that work?
Won't you get into trouble for letting me know we already can get around the allowed games?
I won't take anymore of your time, I just wanted to ask how the overall streaming experience was? With my setup being a i7 920 with a gtx 770 and 12gb of ram and my router being a belkin N router (no A, just N). My idea is to connect the shield with a long hdmi cable to my 60inch lcd and play my computer games there (my computer is in another room altogether)
In a situation like this, will my intentions work? I am very excited for this device for this reason alone!

The weak link in your setup will be the wifi router. I haven't had great luck on the 2.4GHz spectrum, but I also have a noisy 2.4GHz range (many APs nearby, baby monitors, etc)
Outside of that, you, that will work. I wish they had used MHL for the HDMI out, so that you didn't need two cables to be charging and playing, but I don't know if MHL can do 2 amp charging or not. I'm hopeful that Monoprice will start selling their very sexy thin HDMI cables for mini HDMI (I haven't looked lately, so they may already have them), and then it wouldn't be terrible to connect via HDMI video. I think you can use a bluetooth controller with SHIELD, so you could set it on a table as a "dongle" for streaming PC games.
I still work on SHIELD. And I love working on it. One of my responsibilities is to make sure we stay as close to pure AOSP as possible, while supporting product features which AOSP doesn't (try using a controller to navigate the launcher...). That said, NVIDIA doesn't sponsor (or probably condone) my speaking on dev forums, but I'm also careful about what I say. Working around non-supported games was planned ahead of time. Supported games means games we've tested and made sure work smoothly. But you can add any games you'd like to Steam (heck, you can add Microsoft Word to Steam) and they'll show up via "Steam Big Picture" on SHIELD.
You'll notice I don't reply to launch date or "what caused the delay" threads. I do *like* keeping my job. That would be "leaking" information.

Got it I won't ask those questions then.
Just worried about the router thing you mentioned. My fiber op goes directly into a dual band n router but that is in the same room as the computer so using the shield there makes no sense. I have a cat 5e cable going from that router over 150 feet to my home theater room and over there it connects to an older Belkin N router which i have set up as an access point.
That's the room i plan on doing most of my shield gaming streaming from the pc in the other room.
Why would you say this wouldn't work? Cat5e not enough? N router not enough?
What sort of speeds does the shield require?
Also, what you mentioned about setting the shield on a table and connect another controller to it via Bluetooth is just incredible. This means i could connect a wireless keyboard and mouse to it. I'm abit of an old school gamer myself and not that much into game pads when taking about fast reaction in games. Love game pads for rpgs and things like that.

You could probably attach any keyboard and mouse to it through the usb on the back if you get a USB-OTG to full size USB adapter/hub. I'm not 100% sure the shield supports it yet but I would be surprised if it didn't.

I've only used PSX, PS2, and original Xbox controllers so far (yes, original Xbox, great for N64 emulation, just cut off the tip and splice a regular USB cable on) and they all worked, but the Xbox controller sadly had major input lag (like 4 full seconds).

Thank you so much for that! I'm gonna subscribe. Let me know when it can support the wiimote again and I'll buy that app too

You might not be interested in buying another, separate, controller; but, of you don't mind, the Moga Pro controller is fantastic. It has a very premium feel to it, and very much so reminds me of a Xbox 360 controller. Its compatible with all of the major apps. Plus, the ones that it isn't compatible with, you can set up for yourself.
They also have fantastic customer support. I picked up my Flo on launch day. The Moga Pivot application wasn't running, so I emailed them. Within two days they had sent out an update and thanked me for letting them know. Also, its fully wireless. So none if that OTG stuff, and you can use it on your phone.

I have an Ouya controller, but it's clunky D-Pad is similar to the 360's. WiiMotes (which don't work currently) are great but lacks the button count to play anything other then NES emulators. The Moga, Ouya, 360, WiiMote, and PS3 all have good battery life. Other controllers typically suck the juice and have bad button feedback or otherwise cheaply made. Don't waste your money on anything other then the above noted.
The PS3 has a great DPad and quality. Batteries last a long time, buttons feel great, response time is flawless, connects directly to the Tablet (no dongle like 360).
The Moga is iffy. Seems to be effected with delayed response when using the Moga Pairing app, which is required for the second analog support and for launching games so they pick up on the controls. Controls aren't bad but if you play something like Mario or Sonic, you'll feel the controls are slightly "off". Still a great controller for on-the-go. I haven't tried the Moga on the new N7 yet, they may have fixed this lag.
The PS3 controller is also probably one of the cheaper controllers you can find. I picked up a White PS3 DualShock from Gamestop for $29 new. The PS3 also has the greatest amount of support. It plays reliably across all of my devices, where the others are hit and miss.
The app required is the SixAxis Pairing app from the Play Store. Some custom roms build in this driver and the controller can connect natively, but for the most part, you would use the app. Benefits of the app also include the ability to map buttons to touchscreen overlay controls for games that do not support gamepads.

Out of curiosity, are you talking about the MOGA Pocket or the MOGA Pro? I own the latter and have never had too much trouble with the device in HIG mode (the MOGA app itself though was something of another level of horror).

Using this app: Sixaxis Controller
Note: You must be rooted and use a PC to change the pairing address of the controller to that of your Nexus 7. They provide a free PC utility to do that.
