Any suggestions? Lots of past systems, lots of old fun games, but emulators are always a bit iffy.
Which work and which don't? Any special settings?
Thank You
FPSE (PSone emulator) works well, even can be used with USB gamepad, i'm now playing good ol' Resident Evil Nemesis
Thanks. I'll check it out.
I've been trying N64 roms and can't get the analog stick recognized. I've tried a PS3 controller and an older Logitech both on USB.
Any ideas?
I play good ol' NES emulators on my a500. There are 2 of them that I use and seem to work well:
NESDROID - available in the market and it costs money. It works well with the touchscreen but doesn't seem to work too well with game pads.
NESOID - almost sounds the same, but this bad boy isn't in the market. I use it when I connect my Wiimote to my tablet to play my NES games. SUPER MARIO BROS!

i used the wiimote software, worked fine
Thanks, I went out and got a sweet collectors edition tron remote to use with this
Works great, been using the classic controller and FPSx..

Wii remote and classic controller work fantastic, but what I really want is the ability to use a PS3 controller because it sucks having to lug around a wii remote just to use the sub-par classic controller.
I agree with the ps3 controller but I think its limited on the controllers side, just find one like that online that is bluetooth
from what I remember ps3 controllets can't be used cause of the way they pair. Wii with classic is the best so far.
This is cool, I didnt know you could use the wiimote. What works with the wiimote?
Thanks, this is new info to me.

I believe all the emu's do, though I've personally only used it for NES - sweet app though.
I ve know about it for a while but never decided to try it since it was for a phone and the controller is twice its size, but for a tablet I am OK with the idea
What emulator is good to run on the Xoom, I have one installed that a guy a verizon mentioned, but it only works if you store the data on at /sd so for now is unusable for me...
Which one's are you guys using that works well on the xoom?
I use Nesoid, Gensoid and SNesoid. WiimoteController for the WiiMote. ROM Gripper and Emulator ROMs to search for the games / ROMs.

Like he said above. I use Snesoid with wiicontroller. I had a folder called Roms and well put the roms there. I had a huge set of roms from way back when i moved all my snes games to my pc before I packed them up.
Thanks Guys!
I use snesoid and UAE4Droid (Amiga emulator) daily with a wiimote on my phone... can someone check whether UAE4Droid works on the Xoom? I'm about to pre-order the wifi only from PC World in UK.
I've got the Wii remote with a classic pro controller paired with the Xoom and Snesoid. I played Mortal Combat for hours last night. Runs perfectly.
I just wish I could use a more simple controller setup, but I can't seem to find any info about other bluetooth controllers that will work. Anyone have any recommendations?
how do you pair it to the xoom/phone?
does it knock off the pairing with the wii? I have wii remotes with the recharable battery pack so re-pairing means i have to find some proper batteries each time which can be a pain

You need to run Wiimote. There are pretty clear directions in the app. You basically tell it to start searching and then hold down the 1 and 2 key on the Wii controller to start it in pairing mode.
I'm sure you will have to re-pair it with the Wii afterwards.

How were you able to get the classic controller working? I have the wiimote set up and working. Plug in the classic controller and don't get any response from it. I'm using snesoid and wiimote controller 0.3 beta.
Thank you in advance for any help.

I've got the classic controller pro...I don't know if that matters. Also, I went into the settings for key mapping in Snesoid and mapped all of the buttons. They show up as letters on the mapping screen.
Does anyone know of any bluetooth controllers that work with our device? Phonejoy or anything? I'm on slim rom 4.2.2 build 2 with KTmanta kernel.Thanks.
Ps3 will work with the sixaxis app.

I use a $30 "controller for tablets" that I got from GameStop. It works perfect in my Game Boy Advance and SNES emulator. In the emulator itself go to controls and then assign the buttons however you want. The one problem with modern versions of Android is that when a bluetooth controller is connected, you can no longer use the on-screen keyboard because the controller is your input device. You have to disconnect the controller (or just disable bluetooth) if you want to type stuff again. No that big a deal since you only really have it on while playing a game anyway
Looks like it is on sale now for $20:

Ps3 controller through sixaxis app is awesome and has more native game pad support from apps than any others I've seen... Some games even change all the buttons in game to reflect the ps3 controller... I like where it would normally say "tap here" and it will say "push X"
The bard's tale comes to mind
Plus it let's you set up touch emulation for games that don't have native game pad support
Thanks for the input guys! I tried the one from gamestop. It was red samurai brand. Didn't work. Phonejoy is updating their hardware and is no longer manufacturing those remotes. I'm gonna go with sixaxis. Thanks!!
Does anyone have a MOGA Pro? I noticed there are a number of games compatible out there. Even Mogas website has a list of great compatible games. Ive tried 4-5 Games out there that specifically said Moga Enhanced in their description - and those didn't work with the CTRLR in Game smart mode. Had to use Tincore if I wanted to map the controls. I had hoped it wldve worked.
So Im wondering if anyone has one and does it do what it says? How does its button mapping app work?

Some games need Moga Pivot app. Particularly the ones that support Moga Pocket as it connects with SPP.
In the other hand there is a significative number of games that support a few controllers only like Moga, Sixaxis or Xbox. For those you can use gamepad simulation to bridge the gap.

gamepad simulation...like tincore keymapper? I've tried many games with tincore, not all work that great. As long as you can navigate menus in mouse mode on the CTRLR, you can usually map the games controls. If this is what you mean by bridging the gap then its really not the solution to moga enhanced games. I'm wondering if someone out there has a moga and can share there experience with it?
EDIT:
So I'm at work, bored. Just bought a MOGA Pro for 69.99$. The list of compatible games that I've been able to find is quite impressive and it sold me. Theres lots of games that are MOGA enhanced that aren't yet playable on MOJO so I just look at this purchase as another add-on to my MOJO

By bridging the gap I meant that if you have a gamepad that is not compatible with those games that support just some particular controllers you could use the mapper to make it work with them (gamepad simulation).
So I got my Moga Pro Power today (Thanks amazon one-day shipping option) and I have to say, It works as advertised! Downloaded some games last night in anticipation: The Dark Knight Rises, Emancy, M.U.S.E., Modern Combat 4, and Max Payne Mobile. All of these games work great with the Moga! Even the menus in each game are navigable with the controller itself!
This is great news, adds LOTS more playability to the MOJO seeing as though there are 150+ Moga Enhanced games out there. Rock on.
This is a great controller, fits nice in the hand (Xbox 360 style). A slight bit too wide, only because of the flap that flips up for holding your phone. I personally favor the CTRLR over this, but it's damn close. What also is a neat feature is that this controller is rechargeable(No batteries required) and can charge your phone/tablet while you play games. Has a 2200mah battery that supposedly lasts 15-22hrs on a charge. It even comes with a tablet stand. I recommend this to anyone who's got a MOJO looking to expand their library of games :good:
Has anybody played any two player games or emulators using a moga and the mojo controller at the same time. I'm assuming it would work but just wanting to know. Wanting to get an android gaming device and the ouya failed me in that regard.

I've used the CTRLR with the PS3 controller on NES and SNES emulators. Worked a peach.
CTRLR with wired X360 controllers works for FPse.

To my knowledge Moga uses it's own SDK libraries rather then google/nvidia standard.
I'm not sure what the libs do, can you use a moga on non moga games with controller support?
If the game has Moga support and standard controller support, it 'should' work with the two pads or expect the other to be the same, depends on the developer.

Maybe mherma can speak from experience with his.
I have the Moga Power which has mode A (custom Moga SDK) and mode B (bluetooth HID compliant input). When I try to sync mode B, the bluetooth screen sees it and pairs, but the lights on the Moga keep blinking. When I put it on Mode B, it does not show up on the list of devices but the lights on the Moga indicated it was paired. Either way it was not recognized as a second controller in Beach Buggy Racing.
I didn't think to install the Moga app though, I'll try that.
Update: wiht the Moga Pivot app, I can get the Mojo to pair in A mode (Moga Mode). Quite seamless. But its recognition is app-specific I think. When I try Riptide 2, I can do split screen with two controllers. But Beach Buggy Racing from the same dev and moga-supported, does not recognize the moga. Oh well. I have not tried SNES or FPSE, but those play very nicely with the Moga, so I don't expect problems.
Hi, I'm searching a cheap game controller for our Amazon Fire TV where I do not need root access on the device.
I have already a ps3 controller but to run this controller on the Fire TV I need root access. Do you know a game controller which run good and witout an advance installation?
Many thanks...
What's wrong with the original amazon controller ?
http://www.amazon.de/Amazon-53-0031...e=UTF8&qid=1411563380&sr=8-2&keywords=fire+tv
ok, it's a little pricy, but I expect optimizations for this one
Maybe the Tronsmart Mars G01 as an alternative ?

360 and Wii U Pro controllers work without root, but you'll need to purchase USB receivers to use them. I've been using an NES30 (www.nes30.com) and it's great as long as you don't need any analog sticks. I have the OEM FireTV game controller as well, and it works great for games with analog controls.
I have a wired 360 Gamepad, & a wired PS3 gamepad.
they work okay.
I ended up buying the Amazon Game Controller because I liked the idea of no wires and I wanted better compatibility with the stuff that is out. For instance, Dungeon Quest which works with the above controllers, if you didn't mind not getting into the inventory & stats (which you need to). You could reprogram the keys, but for whatever reason, they didn't work.
I didn't want to have to use 2 different gamepads, that's bad enough on my PC, dang wire tangle. Anyways, I like the Amazon Game Controller. It's light, solid, the buttons feel great, the digital pad feels really nice, and it's sticks are more like the PS2/3/4 sticks we've all come to love.
I also choose the AGC because I couldn't get the USB Gamepad app I like to work on the FireTV, just bugs out searching for devices.
I don't know how long the batteries last though, only have had it for a few days.
Surprised no one has recommended the NYKO Playpad PRO. http://www.amazon.com/PlayPad-Pro-Amazon-Fire-TV/dp/B00J9P3KBS/ref=dp_ob_title_vg.
All of the above mentioned do a pretty good job.
Sometime a bit of a fiddle pending on the game and that's the fun part.
Cheers
M.O.J.O. is advertised as having "MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT – Connect two or more gamepads for multiplayer games". Has anyone ever tried this feature succesfully? Is there really any android games out there that support offline multiplayer on the same device?

I can't name a specific andriod game.. but I'm sure there are a few...
Try street fighter still games?
controller and gaming on a tv is still new to most android game devs.... but that's changing:good:

Which emus did you use successfully with your 2nd Ctrlr? And how do you set it up? Did you plug the dongle into the USB 2.0 port?

I mostly use the N64 (Mupen64), PS1, PSP, snes, Sega mega drive, I forget their names just google and try them out..
But emulators on android have great controller mapping, so it doesn't matter what 2nd controller you have, you can map it (configure the buttons/sticks) and play it , the N64 support 4 players!
IE as explained here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/141052/how...hysical-controller-on-your-android-phone/all/
I'm hoping gameloft can do controller mapping one day!!
The mojo controller needs the USB dongle (yes I keep it on USB2 unless I have need to use a HDD), the retail controller is BT2 so it doesn't need it, but I prefer the mojo ctrlr because the middle button activates the background apps, where as the retail controller doesn't.
I just found out that we can play Badland in coop and multiplayer mode with 2nd controller. I use Ipega PG-9025 as my 2nd controller and connect with bluetooth. Hope that more android games will support this.
