[Q] Any chance to raise a project Xperia Play - PS3 pairing? - Xperia Play General

I've been searching the net for a solution for pairing our xperia play to ps3 so we can use our xperia play as a ps3 controller.
I'm sure there're lots of people here who can donate to this project.
I'll donate my lifetime filesonic.com premium account and money too.
PSP, PS Vita, Sony Vaio and Bravia screens can be paired to ps3 so why our xperia play not?

Is it maybe the bluetooth stack. That's where I would start.

I'm not a developer nor programmer so I'm looking for a recognize developer who be able to develop such feature.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible unless you have the pairing keys from the ps3 and even with that someone needs to completely reverse engineer the protocol. So I don't think anyone would put that much work into something with little gain.

i didn't thought it's such a really hard project to do.
i think it's a app that SE ought to develop.

Oh, sorry, I thought you wanted somebody from the community to do it. You should email Sony directly and ask them, I don't think any SE developers read this forum.

I don't know how you'd be able to use R2 and L2, but I'm all in for the idea.

You lose R2, L2, R3, and L3, so I don't see the point of this.

Is the request for remote play pairing? I would love that. Or is it for pairing xplay as controller for ps3?
xperia play is still more compatible than the old PSP in the above two cases - at least it has the right (not just left) analog stick and maybe under some scenarios tapping on the touch pad right and left centres could emulate R3 and L3 buttons (or R2 and L2 as an option) so I say it would be great to use for PS3 remote play.
Regarding yet another case: PS3 controller connecting to xplay - I know there is an app for this but because i don't have the cable to connect the two I have not tried it yet but planning to do it with my sony tablet s first as it sucks for gaming without the hardware controls.
I hope the above helps.

hi ps3taker,
i mean to use xperia play as a ps3 controller but i'll be glad if we can use our xperia play as a remote play.
that's the whole point in playstation phone, isn't it?
and i saw the video pairing ps3 controller to xperia play, i need to root my device for it i think.

I think pairing contoller with xplay is possible using sixaxis controller app but i don't have micro usb to regular usb cable converter to try it out. I am getting one for tablet s soon so will try. Hope it helps

Have you played a PS3 game lately? While this may be fine for some games, many games use the L2 and R2 triggers heavily, and having to press them with your thumbs instead of your forefinger can make a game quite tough to say the least.
Sounds like a good tech demo but I just don't see the need to put extreme effort into it.

I think I read somewhere that it isn't possible due to differences in the bluetooth stack implementation in Android and the PS3...

i just thought to take our xplay to the edge, but i see now we shall wait to ps sdk in november, maybe the sdk will contribute to take the xplay to the edge with revolutionary ideas.

N64oid App: Is it worth the $6 and does it work on Xoom

Hello Everyone,
I purchased the N64oid Emulator and thought I would let any forum members that it works well on my Xoom. I even am able to play Super Mario 64 on my Droid 1 without problems. This emulator does cost money and so many of you might hesitate to purchase but I just wanted to let you know it works well on the Xoom and so far Super Mario 64, Starfox and Zelda are running great and I think it was well worth the money.
I made a video if you want to see it in action. Why pay if its not for you so check out my video and feel free to ask me if certain roms work or if you want me to make a particular video to see how certain roms play on the Xoom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtdQXIcH6gY
Mario 64 runs great on the Xoom but Ocarina ran pretty slow, though I only tried it on the first version, they've updated the application a lot since then... well worth the money.
OoT always seems to freeze for me on pressing start, any ideas why?
Im on the latest version of N64oid, using my Xoom.

Edit: Majora's Mask seems to work just fine though. Pause and all. At least I got one portable Zelda.
Nice video. Thanks.

How does the wii remote connect to the xoom?
Mario Kart works really well also.

I use a free app called WiimoteController. Works well on the Xoom. There is a couple hitches getting it to work and I am putting together a video on showing exactly how to set it up and get it working with an emulator. Will be posting it in a bit.

I like using the Wii Classic Controller Pro with my emulators on my Xoom. It's got the combination and feel of all the classic gaming consoles built into one controller. Since it was originally meant for the Nintendo Virtual Console on the Wii, it is great to use with the N64 games as it was a part of the VC lineup. I personally have been using this method on my Androids for well over a year now, but it's great to remind others who had no idea this existed in this first place. Good job man.
I just sold my wii and all controllers argh! would love to use it with some n64 games
Dont forget GoldenEye
It still gets the " hey can you get that for iPhone?" Followed shortly by a disappointed "awww"

Weird, it's the opposite for me, OoT works perfectly, Majora freezes after I push Start the first time.

Good and Bad news. The app to connect the WiiMotes to your android device supports multiple Wii Motes / Wii Classic . However the N64oid does not support multiplayer yet, well it might never, but I'm been pretty happy with what the all the apps the creator of N64oid, he even frequents this forum, so perhaps he will give us an answer if it will make its way to his N64oid app.

Any major video game vendor should sell this. Here is a link to give you an idea what it looks like.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nintend...988885&skuId=9853244&st=wii classic&cp=1&lp=7
Please note however that you still need the original Wiimote to be able to hook it to your Android device through bluetooth.

Welfare tv out. Your xperia is a console now

Its very simple and works great on my phone.
What you need,
A remote client like teamviewer
A laptop
A tv
Set up your remote c
Software so that you can view your phones screen via laptop, hook up laptop to your tv,
Pwn nubs on the bigscreen
Also works good for phones that are touchpad only becaue your hands arent in the way anymore
How do I set it up?
I see my desktop on my phone,how do I switch it around?
Look for droid vnc server on market, it shows the phones screen by default
Easiest way to set it up would be rtfm
What about refresh latency? I've seen Droid VNC but it didn't refresh fast enough...

The resolution looks great I just wish it wasn't soooo slowwwww....there's gotta be a good combo of apps/programs that runs fast
EDIT: just f*cked with it for a couple hours.....android side I tried droid vnc server and remote desktop add on...both worked well connecting to PC and vice versa....PC side I used tightvnc and vncviewer.....both worked well also...
BUT yeah, the display on MY pc of my phone's screen was tinted RED, and was really slow...like 1-3 second delay on everything....
there's gotta be a way to optimize this! I wanna play emulators on my TV from my phone goddamnit!
cool, gonna follow this thread. i guess you need a pretty f-ing good internet speed to get it to run good enough for fast games.

I just guessing here, but I would imagine that the HDMI out option is available just on the developers kit. During the demo of Desert Winds at E3. There was a port connection between the headphone jack and the usb port. I have to assume that port was placed on the dev. kit to allow for demo of the game during development on a bigger screen. The retail version of the phone probably does not have this port connection. If it did it would be a nice selling point.
HDMI out is in the service menu, but they removed the necessary hardware for the commercial release.
Hardware-wise it's not possible to enable anything because it's not there
eros78 is probably right, the service menu option is just a remnant from the dev kits.

PSP as kf game controller

There is an old thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319812 which asks the question. Can we use a psp as a wireless controller? PPjoy lets you connect to your p.c and lets you control your p.c. Unfortunately im at the learning stage of android development and feel this is too big of a task for me. Is there anyone out there that would be able develop this on the android side. I dont think you would have to do anything to the psp side of things. that being said ive never developed an app for psp either.
im pretty sure im not the only one wishing he had opted for the 7" hd version purely for gamepad (ps3) compatibility

XPERIA Z Playstation certified multiplay + HDTV gaming!

Just came across this video on youtube!
You may or may not know but the Xperia Z is playstation certified, but being my first Xperia device after the X10, i was totally taken aback seeing the XZ allows you to play multiplayer games with other devices
but most surprising of all as shown halfway through the VIDEO, you can actually mirror the game onto your TV like a console and play on your TV, sorry if i'm acting like a noob, but i did not know that was even possible and SUPERCOOL!
Definitely going to get a MHL cable now, i can see many features and benefits of the mirror TV function
IT is in French so if anyone comes across an english version please post.
Also what are your thoughts on Mirror TV Feature on the XZ and what would be the reason you want to mirror your XZ to your TV if you did?

Apparently this playstation thingy with sony is old news. Already existed since 2011. But I just wished we could take advantage of at least PSP games in it. I mean come on PSX is way too old for the likes of Xperia Z. The graphics doesn't even match up now.
PSX is so like GTA san andreas when it comes to graphics. Pixels!!!
i agree, STILL A COOL FEATURE for the Z
