So, this is my first tablet (woo!) but i have an xperia play on the side.
I was wondering if theres any app/way to control games on my tablet using my plays controls
I know theres one for a ps3 controller but would any work with the play?
Thanks
Not yet.
I've got the Xperia Play too!
I would love that if we could use our phone as a controller.
This seems to look the best so far :

I want to hdmi out from my a500 to 42" and use my Lg o2x phone as the game controller to play gameloft games. Is this possible ? If not is there some controller app that I could pair with tablet and use that to control the games ?

you might be able to use hdmi out but i highly doubt that you could use a phone as a controller for gameloft games. the only thing i can think of is that you can buy Bluetooth controllers, but so far I've only gotten them to work on emulators (but that was with my droid x, now i have the xperia play and no longer need a Bluetooth controller )
Not from direct experience but something I thought was cool
I was experimenting with my new A500. I plugged in my usb mouse. Works great. Then I plugged in my usb floppy. What a contrast between my 32 gb pad with a 32 gb card. I couldn't even store one picture at full rez.
OK, now why I really butted in here. I got the HDMI adaptor in the mail today and found that it made my XPlane look great. Sound and graphics were great. The pad itself was the controller and the image was on both screens.
BUT
I tried a game that is portrait only and it doesn't scale for a widescreen TV. Unless I wanted to play laying down or turn the wall mounted TV on its side, there are issues with playing phone games on the big screen.
Maybe a little off topic, but maybe helpful.
On another note, I have used the google remote control app to control my Logitech Revue but it is a hardwired portrait, so it is not so great in landscape.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Some interesting info here. I was not aware of the portrait only issue.
Search on here or youtube. Somebody has a video using an android phone as a game controller playing shadowgun on a asus transformer
I just watched it. So it is possible, just need to find something with a d-pad that makes sense. The video I watched the on-screen control scheme looks nasty. I'm not sure if its possible to change that layout or not but I will look into it tonight.
Its prob just better getting a real game controller. Ps3 or hardwired xbox 360 remote since our a500s have full usb and honeycomb supports game controllers

I agree. Sad part is I have 2 wireless 360 controllers and no wired ones. Makes me feel bad that I have two dual core devices yet still have to use wired controller.

Are you saying you use your Xperia play as a controller for your tablet? How do you do that? I have Xperia play as well.
there is an app calles droidmote (server and client) and it is supposed to do that. control an android device with another. havent tried it yet, but if someone has money to buy it, please share your experience.
I have been following various threads on the Onlivefans.com forum about using an Android device to play Onlive games and mapping hardware buttons to software controls. None are perfect and do not play the games I would like. Now the Sony Tablet S is compatible with Onlive using a real PS3 controller. The Sony Tablet S is a Playstation Certified tablet. What would I have to modify on my Nook Color to make it think it is a Tablet S? I already have Sixaxis Controller app to allow bluetooth connectivity to my PS3 controller and it works great for all my emulators. I am really hoping this will let me avoid a $50 purchase of Onlive's official Universal Controller.
Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks in advance.
could you clarify what you mean when you say bluetooth works fine? I was under the impression that book's bt radio was too weak to even keyboard properly?
there are apps on market that allow you to spoof other devices but if it is a hardware or driver limitation you might be able to usb joystick it
The bluetooth has worked great with my PS3 controller. I have used it up to 3 feet away with no issue. I have not tried to use two controllers at once but it seems technically possible.
I guess my real question is, does anyone have a build.prop from a Sony Tablet S and I will try asking in one of those forums.
The PS3 controller works a little bit while using OnLive but they do not allow you to map keys. They want you to use their controller only.

The sixaxis app says it lets you connect four controller but the nook apparently only recognizes one at a time.
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.
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've read a lot of thread regarding using a PS3 controller instead of the ASUS NP gamepad. The idea looks very good, but I don't understand why? A PS3 controller cost 10$ more than the NP gamepad and also you need to root to use the paid Siaxis app. So unless you already own one it's going to cost you more to do so.
Maybe I'm missing the point.
Can someone enlighten me? Is the PS3 controller better in a way or are you able to do more with it?
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I (literally) just experienced why Id rather pair the PS3 controller. After sideloading PPSSPP (works great BTW), and installing FPSE - one notices very quickly that its impossible to pause a game in FPSE without exiting the App altogether. This is mitagated some in PPSSPP because you can remap L3/R3 for this purpose, but then I lost the ability to map FF, which is essential IMO to making a JRPG like FF:War of the lions replay not seem like a huge drag.
Long story short - I will pairing my PS3 remote later on this evening. I'll probably hold on the the Nexus controller just in case some special use case scenario pops up.
