[Q] Wii Controller - Android 4.2.1

It appears this is a known issue with Android 4.2.1, but was curious to know if there is a fix out there anywhere that would allow me to sync my Wii controller up with my Nexus 7... Would love to play some SNES emulated games with my buddy on the "big screen" instead of having to resort to huddling around his phone
Thanks!

Try Bluez IME from play store with the additional HID enabler.

Does that app allow for two Wii motes (for multi-player gaming)???
Will try now though

I downloaded the app and instatlled the HID enabler. However, I was still not given the option to select the Wiimote driver after it was detected. Not sure why not.
It did have an option to select number of controllers. So, maybe it will allow for multiplayer gaming. Interested to hear if it works.

I had the same thing...wasn't able to select the Wiimote after detection. I'm so bummed right now it isn't even funny..

Sideloaded working apps for OUYA

I've got a bunch of apps working, lets compile a list of working apps.
~Netflix
~Hulu
~Flash Player
~WatchESPN
~Dead on Arrival 2
~Beach Buggy Blitz
~At Bat
~Slingbox
~Adobe AIR

Other's I've got working:
- Amazon App Store
- Chrome Browser (can't exit without a keyboard)
- Plague Inc.
- Astro File Browser
- XBMC (of course)
Which version of Hulu did you get working?
None of I've tried the latest from the Play Store as well as the "modified" versions available here at XDA and neither of them work for me. The latest one loads the Hulu splash screen and then crashes, the modified ones just show the main screen no matter what I click on.

- ES file browser
- GBAoid
- Others mentioned
Have others had good luck with Netflix, while I can make it run I have had no luck with audio. Hopefully we get some official versions of some of these soon.

Here's a couple on mine:
-Falcon Pro
-Titanium Backup
Edit:
madmofo145: I had netflix up at one point, audio was hit or miss.

Haven't had any issues with Netflix, but I didn't really use it all the much either lol

How about Hulu?

It was an old modified apk I made, not the latest but it works. I'll see if I will change the new version of it

Here's another
-YouTube for Google TV (works great!)

I LOVE the UI for YouTube for Google TV...knocks everything else out of the park

Any chance you could share the modified apk?

I sideloaded GTAIII just to try out the stereoscopic 3d support. It seems to work great, 3d display works, controller works, everything.
Then just for kicks, I gave quadrant standard a run too.
Other than that i've only tried the obvious things, busybox, Titanium Backup, etc.
It seems that all those games that didn't adapt well to having a touch screen and not a controller are the ones I didn't keep around, so now I'll have to go browsing through the play store to find them all again.

I would like an copy of that hulu apk too
@madmofo, with Netflix you need to use the touch pad and click to increase the volume. The bar is not working correctly, at like 80%~ on the bar you get no audio, you move it as high as possible, it then works.

I am running NOVA LAUNCHER which now that I finally setup makes the system a lot more accessible. The nice surprise is how well ZEN PINBALL HD plays, the plunger is triggered by the O button not the analog stick. I posted over galcon.com to ask for controller button mapping for DYNAMITE JACK, the directional controls do work already. DRAG RACING also supports the controls for driving.

I didn't even consider this would work. Would definitely like a cleaner launcher.
Do the OUYA games still show up in Nova? Is Nova easily navigated with the controller?

Yes and yes. Though I find Nova easier to use with the touchpad than the controller itself.

Good to know. Maybe I'll try one of the Windows 8-esque tile-based launchers.

My MOGA came with Sonic CD and MC4, loaded them both, Sonic CD works flawlessly, MC4 won't launch

I tried Zen Pinball HD because I wanted to see if the stereo 3D worked - loaded and ran no problem (runs considerably better than the pinball game in the Ouya store - but no analog for the plunger which is a bit of a bummer.)
And yes the stereo 3D "just worked". My TV detected it and switched into 3D mode without me having to do anything. Only problem was one game of pinball was enough to give me a headache...but that's not the Ouya's fault!

Have you tried copying over data files for any other tables? I made my first attempt and now the app crashes at the splash screen.

No I haven't. The Ouya is my first tegra device so I haven't used any tegrazone apps before and haven't tried buying any additional tables yet.

Possible workaround for gameloft games

Hi. I just wanted to share something I found out over the weekend. I have successfully loaded the Gameloft game, Order and Chaos onto my Ouya and am able to log on and play it. I bought the game directly from Gameloft for my phone and side loaded it onto the Ouya. Now since it is from Gameloft and not from the play store, there is no license check with the play store. Also I found to play the game, since the controller isn't supported, the app game keyboard works well in making the controller work for the game. I haven't tried any others at this point but I will in the near future. I would also like to ask has anyone found a way to get a mic up and working on this device? I've tried a couple different Bluetooth headsets and a USB mic but none will record. Thanks.

All controls work? I downloaded dragon hunter 4 and am able to get most controls except for sword swing to work

I have the controls working for movement, camera pan, and all the skilsl on the skill bar working. As far as menus go I use the touchpad to select items and to click chat logs and maps. Gamekeyboard allows you to move buttons around to the places you need them and map them to buttons.

can anyone confirm that "blitz brigade" is working with the controller?

Could not get Asphalt 7: Heat working.
Neither the HD version bought from their website.
Nor the normal one with the google play store hack installed.
Too bad, did anyone have success?

Thanks for your tip! I have been unsuccessful in getting gamekeyboard to work. I was up to 4:30 a.m. trying to figure it out. I've come close but no success thus far. Could you be kind enough to share with us the settings you used in gamekeyboard to make it work on the Ouya. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

I would also appreciate you letting us know the settings. I can get it to emulate my controller in mode, but when I go to a game I can call it up but it's nonresponsive.
virtual beers all around if I can get this going.

So i've been testing a ridiculous amount of sideloaded games on the OUYA and figured i'd post a list of every game i've found that works with the controller. I'm sure there are many more so help me fill out this list!

Legion have you tried Modern Combat 4 the latest meltdown update Gameloft secretly added generic HID support and works perfect out of the box check it -
Also I know Ouya supports Dual Shock 3 pad native, have you tried pushing permissions to system and installing Playstation Mobile?
Direct Download of my PSM Flashable Zip (Or open and push manual) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1467214&d=1352405263
Cant test yet as still waiting for my Ouya

I've tried several different versions of Modern Combat 4 and unfortunately none of them work. Since the OUYA doesn't have the Android market the only Gameloft games that will work are from the WAP store, but even then the only one that's working right now is Dungeon Hunter 4. I REALLLY want Blitz Brigade but no matter how I try to sideload it it refuses to work.
PSM does work but I haven't experimented with it much.

You maybe able to later (Check this last post in the Google market fix thread/Ouya developement - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43203621&postcount=31) This MC4 with HID is the latest Google version BTW.

Anyone else have trouble with The Conduit force closing?
I got to the 2nd mission (the one that looks like they pinched it straight from Goldeneye on the N64), about half way through and the game just closes back to the Ouya menu. Anyone know of a workaround? It's seems like quite an entertaining game.

Your post says all gamevil RPGs have you actually been able to get Dark Avenger to work? if so how? I am unable to get even past the intro screen and controller seems to do nothing.
-thanks

Have you tried installing an apk installing the Google Play Store on the OUYA? Don't know if this is possible and haven't tried because my OUYA just got in.

You can't just simply install the apk for the Play Store on OUYA. The Play Store relies on several Google frameworks that aren't present on OUYA, and even if they were, you'd need SU on the console to push the Play apk to system and set the relevant permissions. There's a whole thread about it on the forums somewhere.

As I said I haven't tried it or read about it. Just was making a comment. Have been reading an other topic that they have installed the apk but still don't have any luck on getting apps to work more easely.

How do you get Jet Set Radio to work? I tried to copy the APK and the Android/obb/jetsetradio (or android/data/jetsetradio i can't remember) folder as well but it crashes when I try to launch it
Thanks

I haven't been able to get it to work outside of getting into the main menu either. That entry refers to their retro styled rpgs like the Zenonia series, Illusia series, Destinia, etc. I'll edit that part of the list for future reference. Sorry about that.

Jet Set Radio works great for me, make sure you are copying the obb file to Android/obb/com.sega.jetsetradio/ because as you have it written won't work.

Alright i'll try again. thanks!

Edit: The game won't open, the screen just flashes with a spinning loading icon.
I'm downloading it from the market now
If it doesn't work with the Ouya controller I can also test with PS3, 360, and Nyco Playpad.

Hey guys and gals!
I'm still pretty new to the ouya but I'll try some stuff over the weekend.
Got GTA VC and III working great, no problems.
You can add Pocket League Soccer by Kairosoft to your list of working games. It works with the analog stick and the d-pad although you have to use the touchpad for pressing things. I'll test more Kairosoft games and I guess they'll work the same way since they are pretty much the same games.

How did you get beach buggy blitz to worm with controller?

@paco8 thanks!
@gottahavit Click on the settings button using the touch pad then click controls then choose the "gamepad" option

Galaxy Hero has controller support, but it's a bit wonky and at times you still need the touch pad.
I'm trying out Spectral Souls right now. When it finishes installing (It validated my Play Store Purchase) Ill post how it goes.

Ok, time for some more... Sadly though, my logitech wireless mouse and keyboard don't work. Probably cause they are 5 years old. xD
Anyways, here we go:
Age of Zombies - black screen, not working.
Beat Hazard - working though only with the touchpad which is quite difficult. I used the fixed thumb stick and had to double-tap and drag it around.
Death Worm - working yet impossible to play with only the touchpad.
FIFA 12 - won't download data. I didn't try transferring data.
Gunman Clive - working really good thankfully after changing the controls in the pause menu.
Heist: The Score - downloads data fine, but I can't navigate the menu at all.
The Impossible Game - navigating the menu with the touchpad and jumping with the O-button works great, yet placing markers only works with the touchpad which can be tricky.
Infectonator - only with the touchpad which is quite difficult.
Space Invaders: Infinity Gene - only with the touchpad and in portrait mode which makes it practically unplayable.
Kami Retro - downloads data. Does not respond at all though after that.
Osmos HD - of course very hard to play with only the touchpad, but it's working.
Pac-Man Championship Edt - working with the controller, although it is in portrait mode and strangely there is no sound.
PewPew 2 - also strangely only gives out audio yet nothing working on a black screen.
They Need To Be Fed 1 - loops the first few seconds. Not playable at all. I haven't purchased part 2 yet.
I will test some more soon. This was rather unsatisfactory. Only Gunman Clive and The Impossible Game are enjoyable with the controller IMO yet maybe Beat Hazard, Death Worm, Infectonator and Osmos HD will be easier with a mouse.

my favorite game ,WINDUP KNIGHT works super perfect

List of sideloaded games that work

Does anyone have a list of sideloaded games from Google play or Amazon that works with the Nvidia gamepad or any other one. Not sure if being rooted or not rooted is of importance!

I would like to see if FIFA 15 works!

I have yet to find a single game that WON'T work. I use Market Helper and then use the web installer so I don't have to sideload the APK files, and they all have worked with a mouse. You can also use droidmote to controll touch games, though I havent' done that I always have a mouse and keyboard at the ready.

They all work you just need a mouse to play the games they made for touch screen.

Has anyone tried any of the games from Nvidia Tegra Zone? I believe they are mostly for tegra 3 but should still work though the graphics might be a little lower?

I haverun games from both the play store, and nvidias own store, and they all work as intended. Even nvidias game stream worked pretty well. I was just playing Saints Row the Third, and set the game on ultimate, and it played with no noticable lag, and yes, I know it's not being run on my system, but mearly the fact that nvidia's servers will handle ultimate with no lag also. Great experience, and better in fact that it was on my PC.

Do apps installed with market helper show in leanback launcher or are they hidden like sideloaded apps?

It's not that they are hidden, but they don't have Android TV support. One of the biggest parts of "support" is having an icon that can display on the TV interface, so they won't show up. I suggest sideload launcher for any non supported apps.

I've been using xbmc/kodi as my launcher and am pretty happy so far.

Can you tell me how to get market helper working? I haven't had any luck getting it to work.

Give it root permissions when it asks. Pick tablet, then nexus 7, hit apply, then ga to a web browser on any machine, go to the play store on the web, and install to the nexus 7 from that. Done.
