I was thinking you could connect the classic controller to the wiimote as it's paired to the nexus? please go into decent detail as I'm new to the emulator/ controller game with the nexus 7

Classic controller works well on all my emulators.

Does anyone have any experiance using the Mame4Droid app? I would like to use a BT controller rather than the on-screen controls (pounding on the screen to play Track & Field isn't fun), does anyone have suggestions? I've seen where a Wii controller can be used with a separate app, but i'm thinking that a Sixaxis PS3 controller would be better....any input would be appreciated!

I've been using the ps3 controller with the sixaxis app in usb mode fine, but can't seem to pair it via bluetooth. Also read somewhere that this gamestop controller works great with our nexus 7, so I'll prob give that a try:

You have to be rooted before the SixAxis app to install the required BT Pairing drivers.
The SixAxis App itself offers a bonus in itself by offering button-to-screen button mappings. This allows for controller use in games otherwise unplayable with a controller. Specifically for this thread, MAME4DROID, probably wouldn't matter since all Emulators have button mapping.
I haven't tried the Gamestop controller, but I have wasted lots of money on alternative gamepad solutions that ultimately just sucks. Quality in a device is essential for old school gaming. When I press Up, I don't want to go Up-Right. When I press Jump, I want to jump immediately. The Gamestop Controller seems nice but I would always be cautious. The reviews say that the controller feels light, cheap, and the button presses lag.
The PS3/SixAxis App is your best solution for gaming. The Gamestop controller might be 2nd or 3rd compared to the OnLive Controller.

I just brought a Red Samurai bluetooth wireless controller from Game Stop. I believe it is their brand. It seems to be working great for mame4droid. My phone is the Lg Optimis VU gsm unlocked. Verizon has the same phone. It is called the Lg Intuition. I'm running 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich. I tried it on two games 1942 Capcom and The Raiden Project by Seibu Kaihatsu. Both games work flawlessly. My phone has not been rooted. Just pair with phone and map the keys. Enjoy

Galaga with a ps3 controller is fun lol. Sixaxis will prettyy much take care of all your android external controller needs.

I controlpad is never a bad choice for bluetooth controller.

PS3 ones require a supported adapter, as well as wii motes, most made for android tablets require drivers that microsoft can't find.
Has anyone been successful in finding a bluetooth game controller that works with any adapter and has drivers readily available.
Works with what device?
I am yet to find a bluetooth radio which will not pair with a wiimote or PS3 controller.
If you're talking about windows 8 rather than RT, you shouldn't have any problems using a regular bluetooth gamepad. IIRC a wiimote doesn't function as a regular gamepad as such, but you can use other software like Girder to make it work that way. If compatibility with games that expect to see an Xbox 360 controller is your problem, search for "x360ce vibmod", that works great for me with my generic bluetooth gamepad.
I've been able to get the PS4 Remote Play app to work on my rooted G2 (stock ROM, Sprint) and I used the Sixaxis app to connect the DS4 remote to it, but the buttons are all mapped funky. Anyone know how to fix that? It seems to work fine on other phones so I am assuming this is a G2 problem.
Here are my devices:
1. Vizio 4k V series TV (no BT only IR and WiFi)
2. Vizio Soundbar (SB4020E-AO; IR)
3. Playstation 4
4. Nvidia Shield 2017
I'd like to control everything with a remote. I understand I could go the Harmony route but was wondering if there was a solution by purchasing an older tablet with a IR blaster in which I could download a Universal TV remote app. Controlling the PS4 with a remote is not a big deal as I only use the PS4 for gaming so when using it I'm going to grab the DS4 controller anyway.
This would provide a large remote that is well lite in a dark environment and would allow me to controll all the devices, give me a BT keyboard for kodi searching, perform Chrome casting on the Nvidia Shield etc.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to:
1. What would be the best tablet with an IR blaster to purchase (would prefer a 8" sized screen)
2. What would be the best app to use to control the TV, soundbar and Nvidia Shield.
Thanks!
