How do these center sticks/discs work - Xperia Play General

I feel like this has to be the dumbest question ever. I just picked up a Xperia Play to try out. I start up Asphalt 6 or Bandicoot and everything works except whatever these center discs are for. What is the trick to using them or do they have to be enabled somehow? Maybe they are broken.
I stick my thumbs on them and move all around and nothing happens.
Thanks!

They only work with games that use them

The Asphalt 6 game showed a picture of the controller and what the sticks were supposed to do, so I assumed that they worked with that game. Can you recommend a free game that they work with?

easiest way to find out how and if your touchpad works is with this:

Hope it helps

Thanks! The sticks work great in that test app. Good to know that my phone isn't busted.

Yeah unfortunately Crash doesn't use the touch pads.
Download Dead Space, it's currently free for the Xperia Play, and utilises them very well.

indeed Asphalt 6 is quite a liar.. though why use touchpads in a racing game? you're better off racing with a D-Pad..
never have i used touchpads in any racing game...

Gameloft games not working?

Hi all, i got hold of splintercell conviction hd , sandstorm hd and modern combat 2 today but ive had problems with all 3 of them i was just wondering if anyone has them working on there xperia play?
it probably was the sources i got them from as ive heard there are different versions of the games about but i dont want to go and buy them if there gonna be no better from gameloft. so im just checking before i fork out.
anyone else had similar experience?
black screen on splintercell
grey and black graphics on sandstorm and fails to download modern combat 2?
i dont think its my hardware as most games are fine.
gimme your thoughts
my problem is slightly different. I bought sandstorm, nova, asphalt, sparta for my htc evo 4g. Trying to get other games it says gameloft cant support my phone. Which makes me wonder if some kind of divorce took place after I bought my games, and if I am in somekind of limbo right now
mikzfan
I bought a few games when I had the HTC desire hd and just installed those on the play and encountered similar problems. Wrote gameloft and got my paid games upgraded and they work like a charm. Dpads and touchpads incorporated in the games ;-)
Regards Dousan...
e: when upgrading games to the play I had to download some extra stuff to make it work. (Had already copied my backup from HTC dhd to my play).
ah right yep the games must be coded slightly differently for the play cos of the pad... ive got another version of conviction here now which is working but not with the pad grrrr ... im gonna have to spend some dosh and buy the right version
ALSO anyone know if the play is multitouch cos it doesnt feel like it. i know its gotta pad so it doesnt really matter but on sandstorm using the screen i had to stop moving to aim?

ONe thing i do know about, lol, the play has multi touch screen AND touch pad, if u try the touch pad test software u can use 2 fingers on the pad AND 2 on the screen at the same time
Just a quick update... i bought splintercell and modern combat 2 and both work great using the pad controls,... I found out i had to buy the games to get the right version for the xperia play just a tip for other noob freebie hunters
Only problem I've had with some games is them not showing up in the Xperia Play games section after download.

Hi There Ive had the same problem with modern combat 2 dont know about the other 2 it force closes when i select it from the app menu, but I have got a way to get it working. This is on xperia play, for the downloading try restarting your phone turning the wifi off and back on and stay next to your wireless so you know youll have a good connection.
You try to load it from the app menu first and it will force close then hold the recent apps button and select the game from there and it will load it does still sometimes randomly force close though.
Hope this helps
If all else fails contact gameloft they take a few weeks for fixes like these but they will offer you a free game or something for the inconvenience.
That is good of them, I bought a game off PSN for PSP which wouldn't work & when I contacted them they told me it was my fault because I have a Jap PSP and they wouldn't re fund or supply a replacement.
i had the same problem with games not showing up... have you shut down and restarted your phone since u got them... mine show up. i think after a restart of the phone, not sure give it a try but mine are on the xp slide out list

Maybe consoles are a bit different but they should have allowed you access to a copy that did work for you if you paid for it. Or maybe that was just Sony as they get a cut out of every psn sale.
Yeah your right that is normally their attitude i was actually surprised when they did it and they done it twice for me bought nova 2 didnt work so they gave me assasins creed and spiderman free, then i got impatient for an fps so i tried modern combat 2 and didnt work either they gave me brother in arms free for this one. To sum that up i got 3 free games for 2 faulty games I bought and nova 2 works now since their update still waiting for a fix for modern combat 2 though.

PSXperia problems

Hey guys, I'm not sure if someone else has these problems but I need help. I recently went to a charity shop which is known for selling games for the Nintendo 64, Playstation and Playstation 2 and 6th generation gaming. I found what is my favourite game, Metal Gear Solid; I've purchased it for 2 euro and I've already bought Metal Gear Solid for my PS3 and PSP. Now I bought it again to use it on PSXperia and I made a unofficial port of Metal Gear Solid. I was absolutely excited to play it at school and work. I managed to install the APK. and put the SD files in their correct place, yet every time I open the game up I just get a black screen then I get forced back into Playstation Pocket/Home launcher, I've also encountered these problems with Marvel VS Capcom: Clash of the Superheroes. Now the real question, how do I fix this and make sure it never happens again.
Specs: Xperia R800i o2/ Android 2.3.4/non-rooted.
Thanks in advance.
Try to use Fpse instead or other PSX emulator. Check on market.
Not all games works under internal emulator.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Games that do run generally perform better than FPse and/or ePSXe but unfortunately not all games are compatible. See here:
Code:
https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/wiki/Compatibility
If other games have converted and worked for you, its just the game.

I have that but the sound doesn't work, (Yar, yar me mateys)
ePSXe works but it doesn't feel as good as the eternal emulator, I mean the sound is a bit buggy and the game always freezes in ePSXe.
FPSe is hard to get easily (I'm only in high school and parents are too over-protective over credit card over stores)
Crash Bandicoot is amazingly well ported on the eternal emulator.
It could be the disc doesn't even work, have you tried playing the disc and not just the downloaded versions from the PSN store?
When you copied the disc what file format was the disc in? .iso? .bin? Maybe try a few different types.
I would say if you have the option then get FPSE or ePSXe for android (I haven't come across any more or any less issues with internal emulator than I have with these applications)
Also see if your parents will okay carrier billing if they are concerned about their cc information. I use it regularly and it works great
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Sometimes simple reboot will help you out, Sometimes it has required several attempts to launch the game.
if it doesnt work try clearing all folders and starting all from the scratch again (asuming you are speaking about PSXperia converter)
make sure you have ripped the correct files from US release of Crash 1 (not EU or UK)
If you still cant get it to work try downloading it and other region versions.
where do I get this "eternal emulator" ?...seems mighty.. xD

Xperia Z Gaming Thread!

Hello there before my XZ I had a xperia play but because of its outdated hardware(still a great phone though) I needed a upgrade but gaming is a big factor on my phone and I couldn't find a gaming Thread for the xperia z and since android has so many awesome games and the z is capable of handling these very well I thought to make a dedicated gaming Thread!
If your like me and have a moga pocket/pro I will also mark compatible moga games also, and if you request I will upload my GKP files for gamekeyboard for touch only games that I have set up with my moga pro!
I would include games with ps3 controller support too but I don't have a ps3 (Xbox FTW) so if people are kind enough to inform me I will add this too =)
And please also tell me what games your playing and I will try and and include them aswell!
I'll start the list with my games!
Aftermath XHD (MOGA)
Fun little zombie shooter game with great gameplay
Asphalt 7 (Moga)
Runs great everyone knows this game
Looking forward to asphalt 8
Alien vs Predator (MOGA)
The classic films made into a android game and really well too can play this for hours and nice graphics too
Bounty hunter: Black dawn
Funky fun FPS nice graphics and fun gameplay and I love the music not played it that much yet but hoping for MOGA support soon! BUT trying to set up a gkp
The Bards Tale (MOGA)
Has me in stitches laughing a fun RPG with good gameplay and a beautiful game aswell (I downloaded the 3.5GB Hd version though)
Bladeslinger
Beautiful graphics but I find combat quite repetitive and slow looks good with some cool looking bosses items are a bit overpriced though
I do like the swipe to slice with your sword though!
Bounty Arms (HID?)
Absolutely beautiful graphics but that's about it really gameplay is abit meh, supposed to be HID support it wouldn't recognise my moga in HID mode though but others have reported it does work
Brootherhood of violence (MOGA)
Nice graphics not had much time to play it though!
Carmageddon
Retro graphics (to me anyway) Fun, violent and destructive! Will set up gkp asap
Call of duty: Black ops zombies
Some graphical glitches in menus on my XZ but in game runs fine screaming for controller support though! I have set up a gkp but it's not perfect will upload if requested
Conduit HDMOGA)
Appears as incompatible with the z but does work flawlessly download apk (it's free) then purchase full game through app (£3.21)
One of my favourite games atm nice graphics and gameplay and I like the storyline aswell
Crazy taxi (MOGA)
Great game from a great console and ported to android it a great fashion smooth as butter looks beautiful and is still as fun/crazy as I remember!
Dead trigger (MOGA)
If you don't have this game go get it now it's free! Nice graphics (on max) good gameplay (can get repetitive though) but loads of guns to get/upgrade and with some crazy guns aswell!
Drift mania 2 (MOGA)
If you don't have a MOGA controller I would skip this one, but there is a light version to try!
Ok graphics but what's more fun than drifting? - actually a lot
Dungeon hunter 4 (MOGA)
Another fremium gameloft game with nice graphics, a ok story line and hours of hacking and slashing. Does get better the better armour/weapons you have.
Epoch
Nice graphics unique(ish) gameplay and pretty nice graphics can get abit repetitive sometimes though.
Expandable rearmed (MOGA)
Never played it on the dreamcast and I don't know why! One of my (many) favourite games atm and playing with the MOGA makes it so much better!
Final Fantasy 3
The DS port not played it much (my girlfriend does though) and she loves it, very cute graphics
Gangster Vegas (4)
Good graphics, massive map, gameplay not too bad (but I'm waiting on controller support) some bugs as all new gameloft games but pretty solid game overall
Gangster Rio (3) (MOGA)
It's ok, graphics are ok, gameplay is pretty poor though I wouldn't recommend as there are better style games now
GTA 3 (MOGA)
^^ Nuff said. But plays great and still as good as it was back in the day
GTA Vice city (MOGA)
^^ again Nuff said, completed on my xperia play and again (on max graphics) on my xperia z
If you don't have this games you must get it!!
House of the dead overkill: Lost Reels
I love this game, my favourite touch screen game so far, tried to map with gamekeyboard to no avail, but still it's got nice graphics, good gameplay and I can play for hours and is very repayable. I highly recommend
Max Payne (MOGA)
Never played it on any other platforms so can't compare it to them but still love this game with my moga, a deep story line and can be very chilling at time (walking across blood level) Another highly recommended game
Modern combat 4 (MOGA)
Most people have heard or seen this but it's the best COD like game we have until MC5 (maybe not best FPS) campaign is quite short but it's all about online! (to me anyways)
NOVA 3 (MOGA)
Halo clone really and pretty good game made better by MOGA controller campaign is quite long but online isn't as good as MC4
Need for speed: Most wanted
Screaming out for controller support (it is xplay optimised) but ok racing game non the less, could have made it a lot better though (free roam) Nice graphics and sound
Order and chaos online
Again screaming for controller support, but great game I enjoy playing it (can be addictive) even if they do want you to but in game currency can be achieved without
Ravensword:shadowlands (MOGA)
Loove this game it's not a perfect RPG and is quite short and the storyline is abit meh, but you will still enjoy travelling the world and exploring the beautiful scenery and upgrading your character, it's the android skyrim until they (crescent moon games) release a sequel
Rayman Jungle run
Rayman! It's looks great on our 1080p display and is a great time killer
Real boxing (MOGA)
Beautiful graphics, pretty good gameplay, I like the career mode which is quite long 60ish fights. Multiplayer would be nice though--might just be me but I find it harder to dodge with the moga.
Real racing 3
Pretty boring (to me anyways) at first and without spending real money, but once you unlock the supercars becomes a lot more fun. Still a good racing simulator with nice graphics
-I have gkp for this aswell if you want it just ask=)
Resident evil 4
Got a English version of game from Internet, pretty good love the resident evil series so nice to play on my phone
Real football 13 (MOGA)
Nice graphics, gameplay pretty terrible though and no moga analogue support fifa 12 is better
Ricky charmichael's motocross
Love this game purely for the Multiplayer, really fun and competitive, good graphics
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I know I overuse brackets (haha)
Sorry if I go on about the MOGA a lot too but I do love it...
Would like to hear others opinions about games listed too!
!!!! More games incoming!!!
Please suggest things to make it better improve the list and also tell me what games your playing!!!
Only a small amount of my games, I will constantly update list with new games and update reviews the more I play them.

When I saw that you came from the xperia Play,I had to contribute to this thread...I still love the phone and think its the most underrated device ever,especially now that nvidia came out with project shield which is the stupidest thing ever but thats off topic...
Anyways some of my current games:
Mini Motor Racing Xperia
-Great gameplay,easy but thats what I want from a mobile game.
Kingdom Rush
-Fun tower defense game,looks great in full hd and is just the right amount of challenging
Jetpack Joyride
-It was great on the xperia play,but still awesome on a 5'' screen
Slingshot Racing
-Its cool and all,but gets boring pretty quickly,I mostly play it with friends now
Shadowguneadzone
-Great competitive fps,I discovered that I have a talent for this game...play me some time
Super Stickman Golf 2
-Amazing Game,so addictive,and looks simple but great.
Spirit
-Looks trippy and can get you playing for hours
Voxel Rush
-Pretty simple,looks cool and you can always compete with your friends since is easy to pick up
Ready Steady Bang
-Dead Simple,download it and play it with a friend.
Crazy Taxi
-Playing this all the time,it feels nostalgic and I cant get tired of it after playing on countless systems all these years.
GelaTennis
-Kinda weird at the beginning,but once you get the hang of it,it can be a blast.
I got lots more,but these are my top several at the moment. It's 4 am,but if this takes of ill put play store links and all that pazzaz
I Refuse to play games that do not save your progress amongst devices. Its by far and away my biggest bugbear with android.
thus i'm stuck playing games like candy crush and temple run 2.
As soon as developers get off their fat lazy asses and start allowing cloud saves, then i will start parting with my hard earned cash and playing more involved and better games.
But until then, they can go do one. I ain't wasting my time and money on a game, only to have to start all over again on a different device.
if anyone knows if there is a a definitive list of android games that allows you to cloud save, please provide a link. thanks.

Thanks for your input! And yes xplay was underrated and Sony could of made it a lot better than it was, the amount of times I've had that conversation is too many haha
And I agree with you about project shield haha, and Yeh I hope this thread doesn't just fade away through the many threads, just thought it might be useful to some people

Doom 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein played with an Ipega or PS3 pad (depending on whether I'm at work or at home), plus just about every emulator going. Like you guys I upgraded from a PLAY but still use that a lot too.
Waiting for the next update for Project S.T.A.L.K.E.R; one of my favourite games on the PC being ported to Android.
Anyone figured out how to map hard keys to NFS Most Wanted? Still use my PLAY for this game as the touchscreen controls don't cut it for me.
Despicable me, Airport scanner, men in black 3, subway surfers are some really nice games

I'm pretty sure I downloaded it through Sony Select when the EA Games 90 Days for Free offer was on, though I can't see it listed now. The Google Play version is still incompatible with the Z, as you probably know.
The 90 days offer must have expired as I just paid another £5 to continue playing it on my Z...and still without joypad support (I must be mad).
You could try the method in this link, though I can't vouch for whether it works or not:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275862
There is a version of NFS MW with Joypad support (HID) out there
But the bad news is that it's from the Samsung app store and so will need to find someone with a Samsung device and transfer it manually.
I managed to get a copy from my other half's galaxy s4 and works fine on my Z (I own the Google Play version but as not compatible and does not have pad support what's the point of using that one).
More info if want yourself - The version is v1.5.01 but was offered as a free exclusive offer on the Samsung app store (not sure if same version still on the market but you may be able to find elsewhere).
I belive this version was used also for Samsung to demo there new external controller but it works perfectly with any HID controller (Need to change to the controller option in the settings to activate it)
EDIT - Here's the version demoed at a show (Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZyUOgT8RAM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Just wish E.A would make controller support a mandatory option in all there games as seams them and Square Enix are the last big company developers to see that people want to play with other options then just touchscreen.
Hope by this helps

Added a few more to that list - there are definitely more coming too!
Awesome Thank You! Yea excited to see more apps updated to work with the mojo. Really impressed by the power of the little guy.
Hello, I was wondering about these games.. Modern Combat 4, Dead on Arrival 2, NOVA 3, Dungeon Hunter 4? They are all listed on TegraZone and are controller enabled, so they should work right?

Not all games in the Tegra Zone are downloadable out of the play store for the Mojo. The Tegra Zone refers to apps that are designed to work with the Tegra gpu not specifically non touch screen interfaces. So amusingly the Tegra Zone app isn't available for the Mojo in the play store yet.
Nova 3 is on the list. I'll check the other games later tonight.

Oh I see.. well there has to be another way to get the apk's and that will work on the Mojo.. I'm considering buying one and i'd like to know if atleast MC4, Dungeon Hunter 4, and Dead on arrival 2 is compatible. If not it might be more worthwhile to get a Moga and a MHL cable.

We're working with Gameloft to get support for the C.T.R.L.R into their games and for them to update the manifest so that they appear on M.O.J.O. - Real Football 2013 just got updated so that's now on the list, MC4 is due shortly and Dungeon Hunter 4 will be available early next year, according to their info. There are many more titles coming and anything new from Gameloft that supports controllers should have support for M.O.J.O. and the C.T.R.L.R when they launch.
Dead On Arrival 2 is a bit of an odd one as it was available on M.O.J.O. a month or so ago but a recent update must have altered the manifest and resulted in it no longer appearing on M.O.J.O.. We've contacted the developers but had no response so far - it does work with the C.T.R.L.R though so were you to sideload the APK then it would work fine.
All of the .EMU apps are compatible and buttons are able to be mapped properly.
You mention office suite and archos video player. Do the paid versions also show up (I bought them in the past and would prefer to use the complete versions).
As for Archos not allowing the codecs there is a third party codec solution for archos, "Archos Video All Codecs". Does that one work?
Does SE Explorer work? (By work I mean show up in the play store, and if so is that including the unlock key?)
Other apps I am curious about (whether the piad versions show up in the app store):
Poweramp
VidTrim Pro
Autodesk Sketchbook (either the "mobile" or "pro" version, it would be more for viewing the stuff done on the tablet on a bigger screen to check it out).
Textmaker
AndrOpen Office
As I said, I'm more interested whether they show up in the store for easy installation as they're not exactly touch reliant and generally work well with a mouse.
Thanks for all your hard work with this list which is helpful for people who already have the MOJO and those interested in buying it (like me).

Archos (full) is there and works great, the free codec pack isn't compatible, though. MadCatz supplies us with MX Player Pro through their website. I don't like it as much, but it'll do.
The only office program I've purchased is OfficeSuite 7 Pro, and it is natively compatible and works wonderfully.
Sketchbook Pro isn't available, though.

Thanks. I can always export the stuff from sketchbook so it just would have been nice but not a necessity.
I've purchased more than one office app because none of them are quite perfect. Though in my opinion OfficeSuite 7 Pro and Textmaker are the better ones (but with different strengths, which is why I tend to use Textmaker more). But since AndrOpen Office came out and it's free it should be fine, especially since you can just rip the APK from free files no problem.
Some additional games for your listing. All of which work fine with CTRLR:
Anomoly 2
Snow Spin
Fractal Combat
Choplifter HD
Burn Zombie Burn
The Conduit HD
Auralux
Zombie Driver THD
RPG Blazing Souls Accelate
Air Attack HD
Cyclone 2000
DB42
Doom GLES
Meganoid 2
Tiny Little Racing
Tiny Little Racing 2
Eternity Warriors 2
Quell
Quell+
Quell Reflect+
Quell Memento+
Fist of Awesome
Doptrix
I've contacted a number of devs...Still waiting for more responses, but so far:
Lightning + Browser > Updated for MOJO
SolidExplorer > Will be updated in v2.0
Another of the HyperDevBox strategy RPGs works well: Agarest War. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hyperdevbox.agarestwar I was able to install it through Play Store and it lets you map the CTRL^R however you want (but doesn't seem to recognize the triggers). I started the game but I'm not a big fan of SRPGs. Luckily, it was on sale, and quite affordable. (I think the normal price is one million dollars. Must be good!)

How did you get the buttons on the CTRLR to map? I couldn't figure it out. I tried options and put it in Key mode and it just doesn't register.
Also I can't get controller mode to work on Bard's Tale. Souls Craft seems to work perfectly fine.

Option, Right Arrow.
Click to change to Key mode. Then, click "Map Keys:"
It will begin displaying buttons to you, and you just press the button you want to use.
Bard's tale has to work! Ok, it's on my to-do list.

The Bard's Tale is fine - just tested it to make sure and the CTRLR works perfectly in Gamesmart Mode.
I have a short question, but it would be helpful for developers.
I've contacted Speed Software to make the " Root Explorer " downloadable with M.O.J.O, and the developers of Dreamcast emulator " reicast ".
Both respond on my mails, but they don't know what might be necessary to change, that the Play Store allowed a download.
I want to help this problem fixing for more software, but need some more hints, what specially caused the store filter to flag software as not compatible ?

Modern Combat 5 on Mad Catz MOJO & CTRLR

Youtube I'll record a better video next week.
I installed MC5 using steps bellow, it works flawlessly on MOJO, all menus work in game smart mode (no mouse switching) but the only issue I have is with the analog triggers, You have to squeeze them completely (100%) for them to work, and the weapon trigger is on R2.
Good game so fare, requires a good internet connection my 3G drops bad in wet weather.
Installed using Market Helper:
reboot the mojo
make sure location access is on.
I installed it as follows:
Install the app from the link.
Force stop google store
Run the app,
I picked:
Selected Tablet, Nvidia Shield
Pick your country and ISP
and activated.
Logged into google for device registration.
Start google store and your favs should be purchasable.
It's a hit and miss process but it does work, all the games above were able to be installed expect GTA-4.
If it still fails force stop google store, rerun the market helper app and check.
if it still fails clear the data on both service and store and force stop google store, rerun makert helper.
On SW reboot and service/store data clear it remembered the settings for me.

UPDATE:
The game works perfect in game mode, but in multiplayer there's an issue.
I recommend people send a bug report to:
http://support.gameloft.com/Home/SupportForm/321/
ie:
Just want to let you know of a bug I found using my mad catz MOJO and CTRLR controller.
The game and controller work 100% perfectly in game mode.
But in multiplayer the right analog stick activates the aim (weapon sight) when push 100% to the left.
Kind of annoying, but if you need any more information, please email.
Thanks

Modern Combat 5
What's you favorite class? I know that game has voice chat so would a Bluetooth headset work?
Basically the red32, hip fire no aim. Its unfairly over powered hence why everyone's using it. The recon class is OK when you have all the perks for radar display etc but all the guns are like spud guns. The last gun is OK but still a fraction of the power the red has.
I played it until all the classes where fully upgraded bar the sniper class took about a week I got bored of it through over playing I guess they made it more suited to people with touch screens so when using a controller its so simple.
I only really used to struggle against the top top squads anyone outside the top 10 where easy pickings
I like assult and recon, I don't know how they do the servers but over wifi it lags badly.. I'll try ethernet... shame there's no local multiplayer.
http://www.gameloft.com/?request=fo...8-When-will-Gameloft-actually-address-the-lag
Interesting reading the MC5 forum: http://www.gameloft.com/?request=forum&url=forumdisplay.php?1647-Modern-Combat-5
voice chat haven't tried it, and haven't heard other people talking either.
I agree with Ash180287 everybody is using mostly that gun, I hope they fix that to

Did u play it on the mojo with CTRLR?

Yeah using the ctlrl and the note 3 over wifi, I never had any issues with lag at all, am lucky enough to have 160mb fiberoptic though so that might have something to do with it also my note 3 receives nightly os updates unlike one of my devises (nudge nudge madcats)
I did find the ctlrl not that accurate/smooth with aiming. However with the assaults u only need the cross hairs on the target no aimings required so it wasn't the end in the world. And that's not me saying theirs something up with the controller imagine its the same case for all the other controller out there.
With the assaults u only need 3 bullets to penetrate for a kill and they have range, where as the recons require a good 8 shots ot connect unless point blank and as soon as you factors in range an assault will mow you down every time.
When I was levelling my classes I dropped my win ratio and kd down to 1.0ish after sticking to the red for a few nights I got it back to 3.0 on both pretty quick, **** thing is Gameloft boot you from most your games as soon as you hit 20-0 in a match or really high kills to low deaths your automatically labeled in with the hackers and cheaters and booted from the lobby. Total bs if u look on the forum theres loads a people moaning about it.
Once ur in with a good squad because all your team provide really good covering fire for each other you don't get killed that much so its a regular occurance
Bug
Just sent a bug report to Gameloft about the controller issue. Lets hope they fix it soon.

hopefully.
I don't get why they don't just create a mapping feature like all emulators have... then controller support wouldn't be an issue.

Did you get the aim scoop popup when looking hard left (right analog stick)?
I get it all the time, good way of learning analog sensitivity. lol
Yep good point
Like honestly, Nvidia can do it, so why can't Mad Catz and other system makers that suffer from games having no controller support?
Asphalt
Do you play Asphalt 8 on your MOJO? I love that game.

MC5 Multiplayer
For Online Multiplayer in MC5, I want to know if Ethernet lets you play online or you have to be connected to WI FI? I know that MC4 only option is WI FI when trying to play online.

The game requires wifi even with ethernet.
You can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-fake-wifi-connection-t2800416
I've used it and works well.
basically, install the framework, then the module, then configure the module to run on MC5.
Oh great gwaldo! Now I can actually not worry then I get MC5 and MOJO.
New multiplayer maps not on MOJO?
Has anyone managed to update MC5 on the MOJO to get the new maps yet? I get the new maps on my Lenovo tablet and my LG G3 phone but even after uninstalling and reinstalling MC5 on the MOJO I'm still stuck with the same old 3 multiplayer maps.
New maps have arrived
Checked last night and an update was available. The new multiplayer maps have arrived for the Mojo! We now have both Scramble and Overtime but without those annoying santas everywhere. It's a win-win.
