A few day's ago an app came out that allowes you to connect your Sixaxis to your Android Phone.
I'm unsuccessfully trying this now.
You need this app
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscompatibilitychecker
and this Tool on your pc :
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
The Pair tool allows you to change the MAC address the controller is paired to.
And the compatibility checker allows you to see if it works, without having to pay for the full version. ( though the full version is all ready available trough other channels. )
It seems it does not work with the HD2 but perhaps my rom is to blame. I'd like to hear that this works.
Greets,
Guinhill
What doesnt work for you?
Im able to pair my sixaxis controller to my hd2 just fine.
However I am only able to use the controller on SNES9x emulators. Even after configuring the input of other emulators such as gba and nes, the controller doesnt work. I believe this is a bug or something.
Good to know, I'll keep trying.
My controller just keeps blinking the 4 leds and turns of after a few minutes. Per haps I should try the newer one with rumble.
I used an original sixaxis. Does pressing the PS button turn on your ps3? If not then you changed the Mac address successfully. Did you turn on Bluetooth on your phone?

Just wondering, how does your hd2 bluetooth address looked like? Is it in all number format?
i got it to work with no problem here is what you do
1- You get the programs that you need
2- Setup the controller to pair with your phone with the mac address of your bluetooth of your phone
3- Goto the program sixaxis controller and start it
4- In that same program where you start... stop..... change input method.... Click on input method and a drop down menu will show
5- Click on sixaxis controller..... Note After that you will lose your button controls but will have touch screen
6- Click Start in the same program "sixaxis control" ( look at the screen after it says connection established) if your bluetooth isnt on the it will ask to turn it on
7- Push the "PS" button on the control and it will say connected
8- Ok your phone is connected
9- Now the fun part getting the emulators to work
10- In all the emulators or the ones i use you have to make sure one setting is turned on or it will not work
11- Look for something like "enable special input device" or "use input method"
12- After that everything should work

I'm stucked here. I cant pair my controller. Everytime i change the master address, it kept changing back after i unplugged it. The red light kept flashing and wont stay. Any idea how? Maybe my controller's the problem?
Maybe the controller is the problem but I really don't see why it will not change but one thing I do know there are 2 versions of that setup program for the controller try downloading the other version and see if that works
The program for the computer that is.... I know the new version doesn't work on my computer had to use the older one
I'm still stuck at step 7, I'll download the older version of the pair tool.
The PS3 does not turn on when I push the PS button, so the old master MAC is removed
Might the new MAC 43:29:b0:00:00:00 be incompatible?

Which emulators work for you? I only got fpse and snesx9 working.
Weird. Everybody seems to have bluetooth address consisting of numbers and letters. Mine only consists of numbers. Maybe it displayed wrongly? Tried numerous ways to pair up the controller but the light just wont stay and it wont connect to my phone.

Well i have FPse Version 0.10.54 where i dont really know if it works because i need the Roms in ISO format and havent gotten around to getting that
But i have tried psx4droid v2 what works with it but want to try FPse because i hear it is the best one out with it being fast and all
And for SNES games i have SNES emulator what works really good with snes roms you can also try tiger snes also

So I was looking at Engadget today when I stumbled across this article. It says that someone got the N900 to play emulators with a PS3 Sixaxis controller. I have no idea about coding, I'm not a programmer. I do know that there are a bunch of talented people here at XDA and was wondering if someone would be willing to take up the challenge.
I know Android is capable of using Bluetooth in ways that weren't intended for phones (eg. The bluetooth keyboard hack), so I'm optimistic. I have a Saphire 32B, but I'm hoping this could be applied to all android phones that don't have physical keyboards. What say you XDA? Are you willing, and is it possible?
Bump. Just saw this too.
It certainly should be possible with Android.
Here is some more info on how they got it to work on the N900, involves some linux apps to pair the controller.
Maybe we can work together to crack this nut? Maybe move this topic into the more general Android Software Development thread.
Possible use cases:
1- Turn your Android into a PS3 controller (switch on PS3, menu navigation or even keyboard input)
2- Use a Bluetooth controller/keyboard on the Android (like with N900)

What I'm hoping will come out of this is number 2, as I don't own a console. As I said I'm not a coder, so this is way above my head. And it doesn't have to be a PS3 controller either. A Wii or a 360 controller would be fine, too. I just want to be able to play my NES games on my phone. (No multitouch really sucks).
still hoping and wishing for a Windows Mobile port...
Or an android port to the Touch Pro2 that has Bluetooth and Sound...

Why did you buy the Android phone then, if you're into WinMo
If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.

You misunderstood.
I didn't buy an Android phone.
There is a port of Android that runs on the Touch Pro2 but it does not have Bluetooth or TV Out. So I either need a way to connect a sixaxis to WinMo or a new port of Android for TP2 that supports TV Out and Bluetooth.
hard part is over
the sixaxis connects and sends data
now I just need to map out what to do when each button is pressed
currently works on windows mobile devices with a widcomm bt stack
I plan to make it work for the M$ stack as well but I'll have to borrow a phone with it from work cuz I don't have one any more
working on Touch Pro2 and HTC HD2 at the moment
I was so frickin happy when I finally got it to connect and send data
Nice to see progress on this. If this was on another forum it would see more activity.
Would be awesome. Especially on the mytouch. its only a matter of time

Any progress on the android Sixaxis/duelshock 3 app ??
I'm working on an Android/PS3 controller app. I have a method of changing the Bluetooth master address on the controller, but I haven't yet been able to get Android to see it. If I just knew what the controller was sending when you hit the PS3 button, I might be able to make Android listen for that.

Once the master address is set to your phone, pressing the PS button will cause the controller to send connection requests to your phone. Listen for devices, no authentication, with hid guid on psm 17 accept the connection request, then psm 19, accept that request, then write .... something can't remember... I have to go back to my code... to set the LEDs so they stop flashing and another code to tell the controller to start sending data. Once u r successful the controller constatntly sends packets of 50 bytes continuously describing the state of the controller, tilt, which buttons are down, up, etc so you just need to check for changes react accordingly. I'm handling verything on the L2CAP layer in WinMo. sending keydown and keyup events....

Hey
I've been looking for a way to enable gamepad via OTG on Galaxy Note, and from what I understand there needs to be a kernel module present for this to work - joydev.ko. I've been searching for it and found some of them but for different devices, and wasn't surprised that none of them worked.
Could some developer spend a few minutes and try compiling joydev for our device? I have been trying to do this myself the whole day but seems I don't have enough knowledge in this field.

I've been trying as well. Couldn't do it either.
Winded up buying a DualShock3 and connecting it using SixAxis. Works perfectly
When i had an asus transformer prime i was able to connect my xbox 360 gamepad to the usb port. it was a great experience.
this is something i really miss on the galaxy note.
Hi just coupe of days back i was also trying to figure out how to enable game pad.
What i did was,
1. Bought a six axis USB controller connected it via OTG.
2.got a all called usb/bt joycenter.
3. The app detected the connected controller, i mapped the keys for GTA3.
4. Done
Worked like a charm.
Hope this information is helpful

Thanks for the hint.
It would be even better to have some kind of native support like i had experienced on the asus transformer prime with the wireless 360 controller connected via the "dongle thing". also gta 3 is one of the games that support controller out of the box. so it should not be nessesary to buy apps...
just a kernel thing?
The app you linked to kind of works, but only on stock-based roms (I think, didnt work for me on paranoid).
It does discover the x360 wireless adapter and even properly pairs the controller with the adapter. I can see it receiving button presses and i can map them and what not. The problem is it doesn't forward the presses properly. I tried mapping it to different keys to no success (and I have the IME switched on and set as default). The controller works within the app but nowhere else.
I have yet to try to play around with the touch emulation thing
Have you set the default input method as IME ?
If then also its not working you can try this app (free but limited)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fishstix.gameboard
or this one which is paid but is fully customizable
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard

You are correct these are mainly meant for onscreen keyboard but GameKeyboard is much more than that.
Sometimes the keys of controllers are not recognized by the games, in my case NESOID emulator was not able to recognize the controller keys other than the D-Pad.
In the GameKeyboard app, you can map the physical keys to virtual keyboard keys such as A,B, C ,D......Z or 1234... anything. Then you can assign these keys in the input mappings of the game(Not talking about the touch pad of game). You can also create profiles for multiple games.
Is it possible to pair the Nexus Player ASUS controller with any Android device? I mean is it a general Bluetooth controller one could use for gaming on a tablet, phone, like any other Bluetooth gamepads out there?

You should be able to over Bluetooth which is how it connects tot he NP. I known that emulators support controllers so why not give it a try? If you don't have the NP I'll try it and let you know
My controller successfully gets connected with my phone and my laptop. Just press the home and back button together for a few seconds to get it to pairing mode and the simply pair it via bluetooth.
I don't have a NP, it doesn't seem to be good enough to order (have a Chromecast), with the limited memory and stuff. But the Gamepad looks so cool, I thought why not get it for my Android games? Wanted to have a Bluetooth gamepad anyways for some time...

A normal windows laptop with Bluetooth
What edition of windows? I couldn't see available for pairing it on my MSI GT70 with Windows 8.1 64-bit. Other devices pair just fine.
I got it to pair on my laptop. But the buttons and pads aren't mapped correctly, e.g. it didn't work on Steam Big Picture or on any games. It's stuck going top-right. I assume they have the triggers mapped on the wrong axis. If anyone knows a way to remap the buttons, d-pad and sticks, I'd try it again. And it connected perfectly with my phone (Oneplus One.) I didn't test every button, wouldn't know how. Was able to remap some of them in MAME4Droid.
I paired the np remote with my nexus 6 and have an issue, when using it in Kodi, the select button ( the big center round one) does not do anything, any ideas?
I couldn't pair it with my G4, any tips?
Alright I finally found a way to use the dualshock 4 controller with my shield tablet k1 running Android 6.0.
The problem I faced was that when I wanted to pair the controller and tablet it became stuck on the "pairing with..." part.
And since the sixaxis controller app doesn't work on marshmallow I started trying somethings and searched for a solution online.
So maybe there are people that are facing this issue aswell This is how I got it working.
1. First download and install the Sixaxis Pair Tool from the dev's website :
Sixaxis Pair Tool
2. Connect the DS4 controller with a USB cable to the pc and start the Sixaxis Pair Tool you just installed.
3. In the box "Change Master" you want to type the Bluetooth MAC address of your tablet, you can look this up when you go to Settings > About tablet > Status > Bluetooth address
* if you don't see a mac address make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
4. After you filled in the Tablets MAC in the "Change Master" box you hit apply and double check if the new "Current Master" MAC address is the same as the MAC address from the tablet.
Now that the DS4 knows for what MAC address to look for you want to install the following application on the tablet aswell.
* Look for the following app : Bluetooth Auto Connect
The reason we need this app is that for some reason the controllers input starts to lagg after about 30sec after pairing it with the tablet, the only solution I found was using this application.
5. So now that we have the bluetooth application installed aswell we can open the app.
*If the app asks you to turn on Bluetooth just hit OK.
6. Now scroll down to the bottom and tap on "Advanced Options" in here you want to change the following settings:
Rety Count = 1
Rety After(Sec) = 1
Device Timeout(Sec) = 5
Continuous Connect = 2
7. When you changed these settings you can turn on the DS4 controller by pressing on the PS button.
8. Now press on the "Connect Now" button at the bottom of the Advanced Options page.
After 2-3 seconds you will be asked if it is oke to pair the controller with the tablet, select yes and tadaaaaa you have a working DS4 controller on the Nvidia Shield Tablet
So for everything works for me, even the button mapper that can be accessed by holding the Options button on the DS4.
I hope this helps a couple of people !
*If you want to use the DS4 with the PS4 again you need to plug it in the PS4 with the usb cable to pair it again.
Going to try this right now!
EDIT: It works great, able to play donkey kong 64 again hah.
Question
When doing this, if I have a MacBook as my pc but a shield tab, when going to dl the sixaxis pair tool from the dev website do I dl the one for Mac OS X or the one for Windows? Also if you go to the page there's two links for the Windows now which of those two did you use?
Hi great guide
I don't suppose you know if this would work with the Xbox one controller or maybe the Xbox 360 controller ?

Hi !
If you use a MacBook that means you need to download the Mac OS X version they provide, I don't have a Mac so I have no idea how that works. I did a quick google and found this orikad.com/sixpair_instructions.html I suggest you follow that and it should work.

I'm afraid this won't work for the xbox controllers since they don't use bluetooth, however you can get a 360 controller working if you connect a usb adapter for windows with a usb otg cable.
There is at the moment no way to use a Xbox One controller with any device other can Windows 7,8(.1) and 10 since the wireless adapter only supports these versions of windows.

If you root the tablet you can use this app play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller and connect the DS4 to your tablet with a usb otg cable so you can pair it on your tablet, this is done with 1 press so you don't have to look up the MAC adress etc. However, the app is having problems with newer versions of android 5.1.1+ so I decided to skip the rooting for now and go with this method
Awesome. Thank you.

Sometimes it will shoot past what I was attempting to highlight. The same thing happens when running Metal Gear Solid through FPse for Android. A 1 to 2 second delay occurs when I try to move or take any action.
I also have my own newer Xbox One controller. Has anyone played with that to see if it works better?

I was able to get it to work for me
Hello Iv'e been trying to make the ps4 controller work with my s8 for so long, i decided to see if connecting the included OTG adapter that came with my s8 to the Gear VR and it works the ps4 controller shows a blue light and lets me control the game, for some games you have to change the controller settings hope this helps everyone.
Did the phone have to be rooted? Older phones needed to be rooted. This is good news if no root is needed.
My org cable don't work no more. Can't mount anything and twrp doesn't show anything for mount otg. What do I do?
Samsung includes a USB C OTG in the box so use any controller you want or at least they do in Canada....
They also add it in the States as well.
It works, kinda...
I was able to successfully connect my PS4 controller to the android device. However, i was only able to play Asphalt 8 with. PES2017 didn't work. I am looking forward to more games that can work with the controller. Any recommendations?
Hi,
I've a Motorola Moto g5 and was just wondering if a PS4 controller was compatable with this phone? It pairs with my phone via Bluetooth but the controller itself doesn't work!
Does anyone know if it's possible to get it to work or is it just best to get an android Bluetooth gamepad? Looking for easier controls for my emulator.
Cheers.

You might be better served by asking a Moto G5 forum.

No
Nothing works
I have tried using a moga controller through pivot. two separate ds4 (Bluetooth and usbc) and xbox one controller through the usbc. The moga successfully connects and works within the pivot app but loses all functionality as soon as you leave the app. The ps4 cont. Connect via Bluetooth but no inputs are received. Connecting ps4 cont. Via wire just charges the controller from my phone. And the Xbox one cont. Does nothing once plugged in. I just want one of these controllers to work so I can use them on emulators(i have tried many)
