Does anyone have the onlive controller? If so please share your experience with it. I am considering getting it or a PS3 wireless controller.
Bump, as I'd also like to know if anyone uses this. From my limited testing, OnLive seems to work fantastically on the A500, as long as you have a speedy enough connection. I'd love to be able to use the controller for it, as well as for my emulators, GTA III, ShadowGun, you get the idea...
I do, using it on my evo 4g. Turns out you need android 3.1 or 4.0 to run the controller,so I'm running deck ics alpha1 in one of my boot manager slots. I don't think cyanogen 7.1 supports HID, from what I understand that's the problem, the master and slave are switched. They say connected but no response form button input. It works on 4.0 but it's a little laggy, still testing.

If someone can/has figured this out I'll buy you a beer.
you can use a wiimote..
Actually, you can't:

It is unclear to me whether this is because the Captivate lacks HID profile support, or because as a BT 3.0 device there is some kind of incompatability (I have heard both).

Sorry, never gonna happen. PS3 controller maybe but the 360 controller isn't BT, it uses a proprietary wireless standard.
Why Xbox or Playstation crap is way overpriced!
If you want to use your phone as an emulator that bad you might as well just pay the $10 for a cheapo BT controller. Don't you want something a lot smaller than a bigun PS3 or x360 controller, I'd think something micro would be better suited for travel.
Plus if you're going to be inside to use this (unless your TV is outside), why not just use a PC and out it at 1080 for the real deal? Or is it more for nostalgia
Cool factor only. But it would be neat if I could use the video out to the TV at the shore house and play a game on that. No PC at my shore house:-(

But they also have wired versions that use USB. I don't have a clue about this at all, so I don't know if that's even remotely possible, just throwing one more idea out there. Not as pretty of a solution but if the USB could be sized down to micro and plugged in... Probably not, like I said, just throwing it out there. Would definitely be cool though.

Not really possible because the USB doesn't have host support. If someone could write it into the kernel it would be awesome but then there would be many driver issues to arise.
I would just opt for a mini BT gamepad, I am thinking of getting one and loading some old SNES games on my phone.
Wait... is there an actual mini BT game controller that works? I would simply buy one now. Can you point us?
The zeemote looks complicated, you would think a wireless bluetooth snes style controller without axis controls would be simple enough, although I know everyone wants the ps3 for its controls. But this would be an awesome start.
Hopefully with more buttons than the wiimote so snes games play decent.
I would just use the computer you are posting from for this kinda thing.

Some have modded these with a SNES controller. If I had any soldering skills I would try it.

Yeah, I kinda wondered about that, but like I said, I'm new to Android so I'm still learning what it can and can't do.
Still, a controller, especially wireless would be awesome to have. I have reason to believe from talking to someone involved that the Wiimote may not be totally out of the equation. Even if not on stock ROMs, custom ROMs may be able to make it work. I guess like everything else we'll just have to wait and see.
wiimote wont work with samsung phones. The developer of wiimote controller emailed me and said its because of the way samsungs added junk deals with bluetooth. Apparently they modify how bluetooth is dealt with from the stock android.
Hmmm... Interesting ideas.... I never even thought about a Bluetooth controller, that could possibly be the answer right there. Has anyone ever messed around with one? Would it be easy to set up with the captivate? Basically I just wanna be able to go over to my friends place and be like, "yo dudes, check THIS OUT!" And play old school games from my phone. More of a novelty than anything really.
illl try to set one up tomorrow and let you guys know if a reg bluetooth one will work with our 3.0. i remember hearing that it wont but i'll verify.
My understanding is that the galaxy S phones dont use the standard "BlueZ" stack. which is why it wont work.
Can anyone confirm if that bluetooth controller linked above from DealExtreme would work? So theoretically, a controller made for bluetooth 3.0 devices would work?

It def. works with Android, but a paid drivers pack from the market is required. Now whether it works with the Galaxy S due to the different Bluetooth stack is the unknown part.
I am not sure how deeply the drivers interact with the bluetooth stack, and if they only work with the stock Android stack. I am planning on buying both the controller above and a SNES controller to mod for use with my PC, and phone if it works.
I am having trouble finding a SNES controller locally but I am told that I can get one on Monday from a buddy at my work.
Just checking to see if anybody has made progress on finding a controller for the captivate/galaxy s?
This is probably one of my most wanted features... get that wiimote working somehow.
I'm running stock 4.010.38 right now and I've tried XBOX 360 remotes and a Generic USB Gamepad but I can't get it to work.
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to use it for Snes and N64oid emulator.
Cheers!
Edit: Please for those who are successful and unsuccessful with this, post your builds and your settings and gamepads! This way we can see whats what.
Edit: Progress (DEV)Richardtrips kernel 2.3 and Thors kernel they have generic USB gamepad support enabled! Awesome!
I'm running rooted stock and was able to get something from a final fantasy 14 gamepad. Gameboid couldn't detect some of the buttons, so it may be a limitation of the driver.

using a Saitek generic pad
Have a old USB saitek 6 button - plugged it in, works fine. Only can use 4/6 buttons but it seems to work fine, tested with a snes emulator, using 4.010.04 stock.
My wired 360 controller worked on 3.0. I haven't tried since updating to 3.1 since no games use it.

Guys dont forget to post your build number
I'm useing the new Virtuous XooM v1.1.2 HC 3.2 rom and my a500 works just fine with my ps3 controller hooked up through usb
Pretty sure all 3.1 firmwares sould work with xbox , some USB and ps3 controllers the main issue is that you can only use them in some apps like the emulators.
you can not controll eg the browsers with them. and dont think games like NFS work ether.
4.010.40, N64Droid, ps3 = yes, usb = yes
works great
...running 3.1 stock rooted, use the honeyvillian rom too. Logitech wired gamepad works great on nesoid emulator
4.010.11 com Gen 2. Wired 360 controller is working with cordy, snes9x, and n64oid. For cordy, no setup required. For the emulators, go to the button setup, select a button, then push a button on the controller
3.1 with the Picasso mod.
WiiMote works great, even the motion works.
Had to download an app from the market, WiiMote Something.
Not sure if the ubs remotes are the same, but I have to change my keyboard input, from stock to Game Pad, then map them in the games.
Unable to get the Xbox controller on mine to work.
It isn't an official MS one, its called "After Glow" which connects via a USB cord. When I plug it in the light flashes on the Xbox symbol but have not been able to remap it in Snes9x or any other emulator i have tried.
Build: Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1
Tempted to pick up a Logitech Dual Action Game pad as I can get one cheap and heard that it does work, anyone else have experience with this model?
*edit* Borrowed my mates official Microsoft Xbox USB controller and it worked fine so looks like I was just having an issue with the generic brand, shouldn't be surprised really.

thats good to know i just picked up an after glow yesterday and it didnt work i was afraid to go get a official xbox wired controller and have same problem good to know it worked but did all the buttons works this would be great for psx and n64 emulators
Just for info both Thors kernel and Richardtrips have USB Gamepad support.
It didnt work before but it works now, but still not with my xbox 360 controller.
Cheers!
Wiimote Controller app.
Works great.
EDIT
I couldn't get a Logitech Precision USB controller to work, unfortunately.
Using Taboonay wit thor kernel, mine did not work (ps3) connected with USB.
Did some googleing. found out i need a OTG cable.
Too bad wireless and normal USB are not working. (or maybe im doing something wrong)

Its working perfect for me im using a generic ps3 look-alike.
I think that generics should all work because it basically acts as an outside navigation tool like a mouse and you can move around the Honeycomb UI as soon as you plug it in the/USB port.
Will upload a picture of my remote later.
Is anyone else having issues with the Start buttons on controllers taking you to the home screen?
I ended up having to map start and select to L3 and R3.

Theoretically you should be able to navigate the entire UI using the gamepad so I dont think that is strange behaviour.
Nothing to worry about.

PS3 Controller Mapping issue on ICS 4.0.4
Hey guys i decided to finally break away from samsungs stock rom and went for CyanogenMod 9 ics 4.0.4 and so far amazing!
i hate touchwiz and having just plain basic ics is the best! anyways i finally got onlive running with ps3 controller and so far the controller works cept for the face buttons cross, circle, square, tringle and messed around with eachother, i have read some users have been able to map them correcly but i have had no luck in being able to map them...
can they b mapped and has anyone any experience in doing so?
i have the controller paired up fine thru ps3 controller app and it runs fine in onlive cept for these strangle buttons being mixed around
hope to hear other users thoughts on the time with this
thnks in advance
Has anyone done this yet? I'm running ICS Stunner and it recognises but dosnt work. Any way of fixing this or another rom that supports? I've tried the usb/bt connect app also no joy. Want to use it with Onlive mainly. Any help much appreciated

What are you actually trying to do?
playing games using XBOX360 on NOTE? if you will be able to do that then that's great! but I guess that's close to impossible
You can play xbox 360 games on Android. The cloud gaming app Onlive let's u do this, they've added touch screen support for a couple of xbox games and it supports an xbox 360 controller through usb otg to play the games they haven't added touch screen for but in order to do that ur phone needs to support using the controller, there's an app for it if your rom/kernel supports it. Apparently ISC does but I can't get it working. It sees the controller and knows it's there but won't use it. People have done it but I can't find out out and I don't fancy trying all the roms to see which ones do :/

Xbox controller doesn't work for me.
WiiMotes via bluetooth and PS3 controllers via USB OTG working perfectly however.
Hi
New here and to the Mojo. Haven't got one yet but am considering. Does anyone know if you can use an X-arcade controller with the Mojo? If yes, is it hard to set up? Do I have to side load anything or root the device?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Garry

Hi,
Well I don't have one, but I have used USB controllers just fine.
I would check if the MOJO's kernel version (2.4 or 2.6 from memory) support the controller and if it does.. there is a good chance it will work fine.
I doubt it would need an app for using the controller, if the game/emu lets you map/configure your controller then you wouldn't have a problem.
I would still recommend rooting in any case.
I'm not sure which X arcade controller you have, but from the X Arcade website it says that the joystick acts like a keyboard and the trackball acts as a mouse. It also says it's 100% compatible with any operating system. Based on this it should be recognized on the MOJO. It did say that you need two USB connections, one for the joystick and one for the trackball. The MOJO has only a 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports, so keep that in mind. Until Kit Kat comes out, you need to have the bluetooth dongle in the MOJO for their controller to work.
On a side note, on the Madcatz website they have a 20% off code for the MOJO until July 1st, so you could save 40 bucks on it now. I really like the MOJO. It has a few issues, but for gaming on it's been awesome. Reliving some of my old Playstation games atm on the MOJO with FPSE emulator and works great.
I've barely used my mojo as I haven't got my hands an a male to male yet . But have you tried using something like USB/BT joystick centre?
